Railer 161 Posted April 20 (edited) Wow, Really love the old Boston sidings and the Inspection car. You really captured the look of the place and surrounding area. Almost surreal, really amazing work. And the Trinity College new Bioscience building still a construction site. I actually worked in fitting out some of those floors haha.

iarnrod 79 Posted April 20 (edited) That's pure class. Love it. Work close to there, and that's an amazingly good resemblance to that stretch of track alright. Edited April 20 by iarnrod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulC 81 Posted April 20 Kinda wished I hadn’t seen those now! Incredible work, the detailing is superb, the buildings magnificent, the raised trackwork impeccable. Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PJR 64 Posted April 20 I'm gobsmacked superb modeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glenderg 301 Posted April 20 From an architectural point of view, the capture of the buildings is stonking good. The trackwork even could pass for 21mm. I'm only looking at this on mobile, but I'm goddamened looking forward to seeing it on the big screen when I get home. This is epic good, and deserves a spread in a magazine. Love the fart box too! 😆 Richie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iarnrod 79 Posted April 20 (edited) Love the photo of the blocks of flats. Such a Dublin design that you can't but identify where it is set. For me, this is the best Irish layout I've seen to date. The modelling is absolutely sublime. Be interested in finding out how long this took to build, considering its large size. Edited April 20 by iarnrod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mayner 268 Posted April 20 (edited) Wow! I heard rumors about the successor project to Greystones several years ago. If anything you have raised the standard of urban modelling even higher, its been well worth the wait!!!!!!!!!! John Edited April 21 by Mayner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhb171achill 484 Posted April 20 Warb, I am speechless. How has this one remained secret! Your layout is among the top masterpieces I've ever seen. An urban setting is rarely done with convincing scenery. Everything about that - the setting, proportions, atmosphere and accuracy is absolutely top class. Well done! Maybe more about your locos and stock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick 174 Posted April 21 WOW! Would love to see a layout plan. Please tell us more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttc0169 279 Posted April 21 Superb modelling-one of the best and most detailed layouts I have ever seen-a few of the ECM produced DART units would finish this scene off very well. Looking forward to more updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
