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

  21. ‘bright clearing’ - did the person who named Fintona ever actually visit it?
  22. To be fair, Dave, it was much the same in the ‘murder triangle’ of N Belfast, and was only imposed on me later in life. May I pick a window then ?
  23. Nice Noel, are you going to add a bit of ballast etc between the door and the cess to simulate a pathway?
  24. What a brilliant movie, John. How much it brings back!! My grandparents had Charolais cattle that I recall - that was N Leitrim in the early 70s.
