What controller are you using?, if it is a Hornby Trainset on you might of overloaded to Transformer as those transformers are rubbish and it may of not been aboe to take the 2 locos.

Time for Des to make some Etch Replacement ons perhaps although they will be slightly flat but better than nothing.

Looks to be a cracking day chasing trains later today. Unfortunately I won't be able to see this due to being sliced open a couple of weeks back and on the road to recovery. Looking forward to seeing some photos

yeah the ol Fella got a MNR from Accucraft. By the time I got the Garden Railway done his health plummeted so the out door railway ain't any use anymore. Hard ol work TBH. Might need a Tracking lifting train to move it to me own garden which was suggested by me Dad! mor !Accrucraft

A Cull as a good idea but what to leave go!, I'd be tempted with an electric Blackrock and Passge Loco for sure though.

2 Dics DVD set of the Wesk Cork Railway can be got here: http://www.modelvillage.ie/index.php/tickets/dvd-s/the-west-cork-railway Well worth the price, sit down with a Glass of Malt and try to fight the tears. The Old station area in Albert quay is going to get a 'Fantastic' new development. Looks like an awful location to live with the link road below https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/property/fast-track-planning-permission-being-sought-for-17-storey-apartment-tower-in-cork-city-943814.html

Few snaps from Sat and Sun. What a superb locomotive! wow, the new development really enhances the area. Congrats to Developed to turn this area into a Sh!t pit same ol same type building.

Hi lads, Out in the sticks here west of Banteer since 10am, no sign of the Steam so Far. Any of you lads in the know what has happened to delay it and if there is new timings? MTIA George

Cricky thats some program, Any idea if 85 will be Chimney 1ast out of Cork or not on Saturday? showing Sun on Saturday too! tks for sharing.

Looking at the prices of the showmans you would be better off getting an Oxford one ready to go. Less fun though as they look like nice models. https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/fowler-b6-showmans-locomotive-the-lion-anderton-and-rowland-76fb6001?_pos=13&_sid=2fa6c842e&_ss=r I have a few of the oxford tration engines, a bit of matt coat, sprinkle of coal and pick out some of the motion in silver brings them up to nice little models.

Hotter. much Hotter!!

had to double take there!!. "is over 20% sold out already" Should not 'Sold out' be Left out and just have 20% sold. Jeekers my heart.

Bit closer WB, its an Island alright and begins with T.

Corr!, I made a loud gasp when I saw the piccies. Having made a few of the MIR jobbies I can say these are outstanding and light years ahead or what was previously on offer. Hats off to ye lads.

A LMS 3F aint far off that, would it be just as handy to bash one of those into Submission. I baulked at the J15 cost, Settled for a Class 47 with sound instead + what Mr B says....Way too much coming down the pipeline presently irish wise.

You can ask the Wife Dave the next time you see her as I have no idea, Maybe Guineys. Just waiting for the Carpet to be delivered next. Cheap As chips.

Banged this together in a month, Sea Harrier FRS.1 and A-4 Skyhawk. This Particluar Harrier Shot down 2 Skyhawks. Nice little Project to get the juices flowing after a long winter of notbeing able to paint.

Hi All, Well a spurt in good form and some Overtime meant I had a few Euro to spend on some more wood last month and 13 digital Point motors from my local model shop . My first effort of laying the track was crap TBH. I first laid cork tiles and when I had used those I pruchased another set which was a MM higher than the fist set. Iafter months of just running trains with shims under the track I decided to rip the cork back up and relay the lay completely so I should have a nice smooth track to run on. The Bachmann H2 really showed off the switch back I had laid. Bit of a knock back but hey ho. Then I managed to resin in a load of bolts to the wood that should not of been stuck fast so had to rip parts of the end base board up. Arrgh!! Anyhow from the piccys you will see the fron side of the layout has a nice frame where I jigsaw out the land profile,I had also started out with some Scenery which is made from Polysterne from washing machines etc. Handy to use and light but by christ messy. I have learnt new skills as well with the hoover being used quite a bit with the missus looking for it. I am assembling the Retaining walls this week and need another set of Terraces houses which are from Superquick and they are quite nice too. Any how here are some pictures. I hope to maybe have this down to Wexford for 2020. How I am gonna get it downis another matter altogether as I have quite a it of a lea{}Yrning curve building this.

The Black one does look nice, much nicer than the grey. I know these are very limited but €324 for a Loco. Mind you I could get rid of some of the excess I have to fund one if I put me mind to it.

Nice to see the Anti Trump Protestors leaving there mark in Shannon. Seen This Saturday am. They really Care. A Disgraceful sight in front of Dromgeely Flats.

Wow, Playstation and phone consifcated...Some punishment. If I did that when I was that age I am sure I would not be able to sit for a few days with a well deserved walloping....

Have to laugh at the 'Foot' bridge being quite a long walk or wheel up the platform from the station entrance. Great being disbaled eh..

Plenty of Rail stuff 'to happen' around Cork for those that want a read. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gkz3Exyv1WyRTOnBGsCp9CM9PKZ8_XJq/view On the other hand this was flagged from Simon Coveny so could be a complete work of fiction - ala the Cork Events Centre. https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/specialreports/cork-events-centre-will-it-still-be-on-with-the-show-or-back-again-to-the-drawing-board-900459.html

Ouch!! Those markings came off very easy so....good word or Warning though...
