minister_for_hardship Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Something to do with the Chester MRC T&DLR model layout that was exhibited in Dingle a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If they have enough interest and their priorities in the correct order it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Im not so sure Blaine! No one seems to be able to join and take part as there are no events, I believe it has been done for business reasons only and not for the pure interest in model railways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 I was told its a grop of local volunteers but no one has heard of it ever before and it is certainly not manned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seems to be able to join and take part as there are no events, I believe it has been done for business reasons only and not for the pure interest in model railways I know a few years back there was a railway exhibition in Killarney beside the new Tourist Office, but it has been closed for a few years. There was an admission charge but I have to say it was worth it. Not sure is this shines any light on the matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 It closed because of lack of interest I believe? I now know its a group of business people not model railway people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 The above is correct, I am supposedly trying to help them reopen the railway yet, not invited or even told about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-r Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hi irishrail201, that's what usually happens! Didn't realise any member was close buy , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 that's what usually happens, Even though Im supposed to be working with them??? Not even a mention to me. I hope it [chester mrc layout] doesn't end up like the actual railway i.e ruined, because if we remember that was run by business people "into the ground" as one lecturer once said.

Mayner Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) http://chestermodelrailwayclub.com/dingle.htm Should be worth visiting Blennerville between 30May & 1 June the last run with the original stock and John Campbells & Neil Ramseys live steam live steam models on display.

irishrail201 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 the above will be correct as it will probably be the LAST time it will be running as the so called Kerry model railway society is fiction and not peopleon the ground like in chester.

ballyheigue Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Saw it on TG4 last week,so I brought the kids to see it and it looks pretty good. The staff were really nice and gave the kids the history of the railway. The kids were delighted when they were able to operate a hornby layout.

Glenderg Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Saaw this a few weeks ago. The sound editing and overuse of stock sounds of mainline steam locos superimposed on black and white shots of wobbly little locos will make garfield ill. unlike rte's editing dept. you certainly cant knock the enthusiasm of the locals though, and they've done a crackin job. plenty more railway generations to come.
