I've got back to work on the South end of "my" Portadown. The platforms need "planting" - ie a bit of ballast (a Black Art totally beyond me as you will see in a moment!), weedy grass round the back of the buildings, the barrow walk, water cranes and signals. First, I decided that the barrow walk needed fencing in, so I used a new toy to get bits of Ratio fencing together at right angles. I KNEW that these expensive magnet things would find a use! This where I was starting from. Last week, I did a part-barrow way and "sunk" the water crane in place - there should be one at the end of Platform One as well, but I think the slope of the roof will mean it will not be on my layout! Oh, a future job is to box the point motor in. ALL of mine are above board (unlike me!) because I found lying under the board to fix "invisible" ones just too much of a fag. Then I added the fence which you saw in the magnets, completed the barrow way, placed a concrete "pan" where the water crane should be on Platform one. Loads more to do like planting grass around that fence, finishing Platform One, then back to doubling the length of the water tower which appears earlier in this thread. -
I’m also installing corkboard as an extra bit of silence too and realism when I basalt the tracks -
So I've discovered something interesting. I'm the new owner of Killurin Station, on the DSER, Jonathan has already been round. And I was always under the impression that Killurin had an English only DWWR sign, you can just about see the sign in photos, but you can't make out the letters. It's definitely not a GSR bilingual sign. Anyway, a local man in his 90s came round and was very informative and had a great memory of the Station went it was operating. He told me that the sign, for whatever reason, was the old Irish spelling of Killurin, CILL-FUARAN. No mention of the English spelling whatsoever. Could this be the only example of an Irish only sign that dates from pre-GSR?
