Looks excellent- great detail so lots to look at, zoom in on etc. Look forward to seeing more soon

Cheers for that @DiveController- will have a look through what you have there and see what l have. Thanks again

Cheers for that @DiveController- appreciate that; some great content there Am a member on Tapatalk so will try there too. From what l can work out, Cork City Bus Timetables ceased to be published in the (early?) 1960's even though the provincial services booklets continued. From bus destination blinds that originated in the late 1960's / early 1970's (see below), l've been able to piece together some details but there are some gaps** if you can help? 1: Blackrock - Gurranabraher. 2: Beaumont - Churchfield. 3: Ballyphehane - Farranree. 4: Ballyphehane (Friars Walk) - Farranree. 5. Model Farm Road - Blackpool. *6: Donnybrook (Grange ?????) - (Northside- maybe Collins Barracks?) 7: Collins Barracks - Douglas. *7A: Well Road (????) - Montenotte. 8: Mayfield - Bishopstown. 9: Ballyvolane - Pouladuff. 10: Ballinlough - Glasheen Road. 11: Tivoli - Magazine Road. 14: Sundays Well - Togher. *15 or *16: ?????? Grange involved on one of these?

I can only speak for myself which l understand is not anything like representative of 'the overall market.' l am sure IRM know their market better than anyone else given their success over the last decade or so. l do fall into the popular 30 - 45 year old customer base and like modelling anything in the 2000's on so was absolutely delighted with the ICR offerings. I also loved the Taras and the Container flats coupled with the Cravens and Mark 2D from Murphy Models for example, exactly what l wanted for my era. Non rail-wise, the Dublin Bus offering was brilliant for example. I have no interest in Steam or the likes of bulleid wagons but totally understand how others would love these showing how difficult and fragmented a small lrish market is. I would love the Mark IV complete with DVT for example, but recognise this would be niche in the greater scheme of things. Everybody is entitled to views / opinions, but in reality IRM are best placed of any of us regarding lrish railway modelling. Fingers crossed all goes well and lRM continue to provide us with such great offerings.

Dublin Bus (Conygham Road) RV 394 (98 D 20394) outside the container yard at Heuston North. Twenty years to the day today it launched in the cinemas, it's carrying an ad for an (unmemorable!) Jude Law film, 'Alfie'!

Indirectly related to railways, l am looking to source information around the Bus Routes for Cork City during the 1970's. If anyone has knowledge of the Routes, has photos from this era during the 1970's or knows anyone that could help, would be great if you could let me know. Cheers. Rob.

Evenings are drawing in- darkness with the shorter days at Heuston North.

Just wondering, will you have enough items to go in those new cases???

Great work- amazing display

Look at what you HAVE done to date- despite saying 'absolutely nothing has happened', based on the videos and photos, there has been decent progress to be fair. Given the work you've done to date, l'd personally be reluctant to 'get rid' of it but work around it. Take this as 'Day Zero'- where do you want to go from here- what do you want to do overall and what is the next logical step to get there? It will take time to get there but would be worth it- l was lucky to be completing Heuston North layout during lockdown so learnt there is no rush. You are a long way along than a lot!

Great pics @MOGUL! Are the pockets back then? Sorry if l missed this!

Looks great

Looks great

Dublin Bus (Conyngham Road) RV 334 (97-D-334) passing Heuston North, sporting an ad for Madonna's concert held at Slane Castle twenty years ago to the day. I'm sure many here were at it .
