  1. Looks really good. Modelling a real place is not always easy but most rewarding when you see the results emerging as they are here.
  2. I know it’s been a long wait but that photo alone must make it worthwhile!
  3. Brilliant stuff Ken. Also shows how important radius is in our efforts at conveying reality. I used a big radius crossover on my 7mm micro which consumed acres of space but I think looks more prototypical than a smaller radius and is worth the sacrifice.
  4. Great to see this coming together. These are the Burma Road type scenes I think I can just recall ….
  5. Original 1863 era Dundalk and Greenore sign before the Newry extension. I’d say it was a boundary marker with the GN (or to be precise its D and B J R predecessor). Barrack St Dundalk is my guess.
  6. It’s a generic sign often used in the repro/retro market. The only suitable currency for buying stuff like that is €3 notes…..
  7. In fairness, some of those look better than others. Some are just annoyingly and obviously fake!
  8. Thanks everyone. Been a fun experience thus far. Tried out the Clogher loco and coach, and Drewry railcar for size - in between sorting out the buildings of which more soon I hope.
  9. Looks fantastic!
  10. Lovely image Ernie, even if not the most harmonious rebuild ever !
  11. Thank goodness mine is now on the other side of the Atlantic! That’s just gorgeous work.
  12. Some scenic stuff progresses - some views of the same location several days apart - including the addition of a lake stage right ! The sequence illustrates how the backscene gradually fades into obscurity as detail is added. Fair bit of tidying up to do but getting there. Picture 1 proves there really is a railway somewhere in there !
  13. Very nicely observed detail - great work.
  14. Cracking stuff. Will wait eagerly on developments!
  15. As Collins might have said to Dev in 1922
  16. Thanks to @ Ernie, we know what such a scene should look like…..
  17. I understand that delayed gratification is a sign of intelligence. Bask in your intellectual greatness DJ…
  18. I think there’s only one person for it…. @connollystn
  19. That’s cracking George. Museum standard.
  20. Donut shaped layout ? They can be terrific.
  21. Lovely sense of time and place Noel. Great work
  22. No use to me but having built and sold layouts myself I can appreciate what a bargain this is. Snap it up quick someone !!
  23. Interesting comment. Thinking about it, that 50s-60s crossover era is arguably the most interesting decade and a bit on Irish Railways. Almost everything was still running in 1950, from Antrim 3’ gauge to the Dingle specials, from 800s to classic 4-4-0s, whilst by 1963 the GM-run railway that all of us remember was taking shape. Great to see trade support for it.
