thanks yes, tbh the space I have available has been the issue causing so much procrastination I think (as well as time!) as it offers too many options for locations, eras, track-plans, etc, and because I like industrial steam, narrow gauge, 1930s LMS and LNER, 1970-80s BR, etc etc as well as 1970s CIE / NIR, nailing down a layout period and location has proved challenging! I think with Mosney there is scope to include (without too much compromise and sufficiently realistically) some of the range of railway/modelling interests I have--plus of course the ability for running full-length trains through a landscape, with trackwork not overly complex and so hopefully not too much of a challenge for my wiring-up skills 🙂 cheers, Keith -

The tower is from any scale models, the chap who runs it is retiring soon, if you are after one you need to get on to him sharpish. -

Ballyconnel Road, 3mm fine scale, is going to be in next month's Railway Modeller. Should be a treat. -
Richard Chown was a great innovator. Only met him once, when my Arigna Town layout was at the Manchester show. After he passed, I bought some of his stuff, including WL&WR 0-6-0 Shannon, which he'd built for the original Castle Rackrent, in 36.75mm gauge even back then. It was interesting to see how worn the wheels were, from so much running on his vast system and little things like a removable coal load in the tender - presumably all part of authentic operation? There was also a Pacific Fast Mail sound system in the tender. Analogue, not digital like today, but it still worked. I think Rackrent bridged the gap between the earlier Cyril Freezer type of layout, with loads of track for intensive operation and the more scenic approach we see today. It did need quite a large team to operate it, but must have been amazing to be part of.
