Looks very impressive- like a shop!

Wow!   Best l've seen yet-  take a bow @JasonB

Good progress being made-  exciting to see it develop so keep it coming!!

A promo vid for Port of Waterford and the XPO Logistics freight rail service, but good shots of the train being loaded at the port.

 I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but for a modern era layout having a train with the right containers on it is as important as having the right rolling stock.. 

 

Soooo true!

@MOGUL information about containers is so great to hear- brilliant!   

Excellent work- really impressive

Thanks- very interesting and knowledgeable as always.

They were around in 2012 for sure- spot on

That is why we need you @Arran to make them, to get the container 100% right!!!!

They are regularly on the liner trains here-  have been for a decade at least, (probably longer) and transport bulk food commodities as far as l know.

Look forward to the next OO offerings!

(Picture below from 'quality-freight.com').

Surely @Arran, the BLS 20ft is an absolute must at this stage..... !!!

Cheers-  l have to own up and say a friend did up some printouts of the roadway to the exact width and length with bus and road markings and l fitted them on the baseboard then.

I added the various street furniture, shrubbery, signage and footpaths after but l was very happy with the result!!

Outstanding!

Why did the guy in the Qashquai pull the handbrake and start chasing down the Range Rover?

No, there were two different Qashquai's passing at the time the picture was taken!

Different Regs!

Locomotive 187 with a short set of Cravens (1544, 1529, 1521) and BR Gen. Van (3192) having recently left Heuston North for the short trip to lnchicore.

Keep unboxing... !!

I like the sound of that!  Bring it on

Seems the basis of a good, clear idea there and while there might be tweaks along the way, l'd say go for it and continue enjoying the execution of the plan to enjoy it all!

Always nice to see retro liveried 071 at close quarters around North Wall this Monday afternoon.

Mix of modern IÉ logo on old livery.

Great layout. Lovely weathering on those containers too!

Cheers- credit to Irrailways Weathering Services from @Dempsey here for that!

Looks great. Is that a B&I container I see, with the logo removed. 

Well spotted!   Fallen flag container remaining in use!

085 leads the liner through the outskirts of Dublin after leaving Heuston North a short while earlier.

Love the signs!   They were one of the parts l liked doing the most on mine

Looks great, Noel

Looks great progress- well done!!

080 got the good news over the Christmas break and 210 got some work done removing some of my early attempts at weathering. 085 is currently on the work bench receiving some work to help with that factory weathering. As always your thoughts are appreciated. 

 

Only saw this now- Wow!

Really top class, so realistic and not overdone- spot on!

No less than you'd expect though

Wow!   Only saw this now-   looks excellent.

It was a lot of hard work by the look of it but really makes a big difference.

Well done

Excellent!   Hard to get it spot on sometimes but you nailed it.

Nice picture from Colm O'Callaghan's book 'Irish Traction- larnród Éireann' showing 219 fresh in the new Intercity Livery in June 2006.

You wouldn't think the Green/Silver 201 era crossed over with the Guiness kegs- they kind of seem different eras!
