    My name is Eamonn Greville. I live in Dublin and have recently retired from my work in the Department of Education. I have a special interest in the MGWR from Dublin to Mullingar but especially around Maynooth, Kilcock, Ferns Lock, Enfield, Killucan and Mullingar itself. Check out my videos on YouTube under fishplate7! I intend to build a garden shed within the next 6 months and start work on my layout!

    For a shot of the Oil Train in action go to 3.10 on this video I took in Enfield back in the day when there was real action on the rails with semaphores, staff/handring exchanges, etc!

    We could suggest to IRM that they commission the British artist Willard Wigan to make some suitably scaled food, cutlery, etc. After all that is what he is famous for - microsculpture, like the 'evolution of man in the eye of a needle' sculpture! And there's many more! Word of warning though, check out his prices......not exactly cheap!!

    Way to go Leslie! Let's hope the Merlin we all wish and hope for is not as mythical as his namesake from the days of King Arthur! We wait and see!

    The current Mount Temple car parking spaces, which are accessed off the Malahide Road, wont be affected by the construction of the new school building. I understand the main contractor has moved some plant and machinery onto the school site beside the old squash club via the Howth Road entrance, which is where construction traffic will enter and exit.

    Hi James R. Try Neil Smith at Wheeltappers in the UK. His website is http://www.wheeltappersdccsounds.co.uk/ His Irish decoder sounds are excellent. But beware, you'll be paying importation duty etc., on them as they come from the UK! Hope this helps! Eamonn

    Colum Pender is indeed correct! A lovely, kind man, with a big welcome for anyone who was interested in the railways. I spent many evenings with him in the cabin in the 1980's and 1990's. He passed away a number of years ago.

    I have to agree with JBH! As an IRRS member for almost 50 years, it is indeed a treasure trove of information and material! The Journal alone is excellent value for money. The Thursday night in-person or now on-line meetings are excellent, with the highlight of the year being the Annual Film Show. Go for it Darren D!
