- Brookhall Mill - A GNR(I) Micro Layout
  
  By Patrick Davey · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  As explained elsewhere, Brookhall Mill will shortly be retired to make space for the next project. I have today assembled the layout in ‘exhibition’ mode for a few final running sessions, and here are a few nostalgic photos just to make me feel really guilty….. This became my favourite part of the layout. I eventually got the electrics right! Interior detail was an obsession 😀

- New Murphy Models 071 Class Locos Likely in 2024
  
  By NIRCLASS80 · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  I don’t think any Irish model locomotive will be below €230 ever again. From my observation the Irish model railway scene has peaked and is in slow decline at present as modellers that entered the hobby during the Covid pandemic start to leave for other interests. Also an ageing demographic, plus the expense, it’s a tough old world at present.
