  1. I know it’s been a long wait but that photo alone must make it worthwhile!
  2. 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.
  3. Great to see this coming together. These are the Burma Road type scenes I think I can just recall ….
  4. 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.
  5. It’s a generic sign often used in the repro/retro market. The only suitable currency for buying stuff like that is €3 notes…..
  6. In fairness, some of those look better than others. Some are just annoyingly and obviously fake!
  7. 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.
  8. Looks fantastic!
  9. Lovely image Ernie, even if not the most harmonious rebuild ever !
  10. Thank goodness mine is now on the other side of the Atlantic! That’s just gorgeous work.
  11. 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 !
  12. Very nicely observed detail - great work.
  13. Cracking stuff. Will wait eagerly on developments!
  14. As Collins might have said to Dev in 1922
  15. Thanks to @ Ernie, we know what such a scene should look like…..
  16. I understand that delayed gratification is a sign of intelligence. Bask in your intellectual greatness DJ…
  17. I think there’s only one person for it…. @connollystn
  18. That’s cracking George. Museum standard.
  19. Donut shaped layout ? They can be terrific.
  20. Lovely sense of time and place Noel. Great work
  21. No use to me but having built and sold layouts myself I can appreciate what a bargain this is. Snap it up quick someone !!
  22. 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.
  23. Or the monthly cattle coming out of Dingle…. Roger at Alphagraphix does do CIE travel posters BTW…just to keep on topic!!
