I have to agree with you, Paul C.

I have thought that it would be useful if some members with a decent knowledge of the lineside architecture of the various railways WLWR, DSER, MGWR, GSWR, GNR (or maybe their predecessors if necessary) could display a few photos of the prototypical buildings, signal etc along with suggestions for some lookalikes to assist modelers

There is a weighbridge mentioned on the original drawings of Ballyglunin so we have added this one which is of the same dimensions but we have no pics

Lovely work. Has come a long way since last post. Love the countryside backboard and the scenery work done on the pathways.

Wrenn and Broithe, i been on IRM for a few months, and know so little about trains it embarrassing, the exactness of all your work is amazing, the detail you all go into is incredible.

but i do know about plants, the picture show the species Crocosmia Lucifer or Crocosmia paniculata both are red in flower with bigger leaves than the invasive species Montbretia (Crocosmia X crocosmiflora)

the link shows Montbretia (Crocosmia X crocosmiflora) if you get them paint the flowers red. 

he he, i enjoyed this... can i get an anorak now ;)

Some updates from the club last night, somehow it has been almost a year.

Lots of tree planting still to come. Signals to be positioned. Fine tuning of track. Back scenes and lighting to be added. And plenty of rolling stock.

Oh, the camera crew, and Mr.Wayne and Ms. O'Hara.

Overview of the whole layout from end:

Station Building, not yet fixed in place.
