Fabulous work Patrick. Pure GNRI in all its faded glory. To quote Thomas Moore…. Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy; Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features that joy used to wear. Long, long be my heart with such memories fill'd! Like the vase, in which roses have once been distill'd -- You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

Coming on really well - great work!

Yep. Look at their loco crew….

Try Des Coakham’s NG rolling stock book too, plus David Lloyd’s. Worsley do the WCR Drewry car - I built it in 3mm scale when I briefly fell off the 7mm wagon a few years ago…..

Is it an island or a peninsula? If west Clare then an extension of the existing 3’ gauge system is highly possible. If 5’3 I’d suggest GSWR or WLWR as the most likely candidates.

I suspect it’s a riff off this….https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_is_a_green_hill_far_away

Yes it’s great stuff when used well.

Lovely stuff. Thanks Ernie. Ballyhaise looks very smart.

Even when the Bishop clarified ‘stations of the cross’ it didn’t help much. Off he went to Sixmilecross, Carrickmacross, Crossdoney, Crossgar…..

That’s terrific work Patrick. Really scene setting. Well done!

lol. Suppose GNR got close with 191. I think DSER may have had a few namers with saints appellation.

Lovely Patrick! Interesting diversion though as to why so few Irish locos bore Saints names, given the spiritual temperature of our land. Quite surprising, given the religious nature of the 1937 constitution, that the 800s weren’t called after Patrick, Brigid and Columba….

Such a shame but thanks for your commitment to excellence!

And his favourite racehorse Lurgan Boy….

Looks terrific Patrick. And more of the backstory emerges. At least one former PP was a Leitrim man. Why else is the church interior painted in SLNC railcar livery?

Let’s hope the wise men aren’t arriving by a T2 with dodgy brakes….just never seen the holy family being used as a bufferstop ‘Inn’ all seriousness, best wishes to BM froM the 7mm madness of Manorhamilton works …..

That’s a pretty unstable location to leave a nativity scene it has to be said.

What a lovely portrait at Bundoran Junction. Classic Irish North

Ouch - that stung !

Your modelling bench is quite the hive of activity, it has to be said.

And write the music to go with it….

Time to work on the interior next Patrick? I hear that Father Haddock was a big fan of Baroque…looking brilliant so far btw!

Questions are great. We have all asked them. An accessory output will deliver a constant voltage separate from controller output

Now that’s very effective indeed. Looks brilliant and very authentic.

Long story. The first railway was built c1991, but only lasted about 5 years. This one was built at my brother’s house, and he then moved! He’s into 009 now but is looking at rebuilding this 32mm line now the new house is sorted. If I was starting again (and I don’t currently live in a suitable property) I’d look at 45mm gauge as closer to 3’ gauge.
