  1. Fab work Patrick. Great tribute. And a great backdrop/soundtrack!
  2. It also explains how you can visit Portadown and Derry in the same day without recoiling in horror Looks fabulous David. Might grab some ideas for the GN/SLNC joint line layout that seems to be inexorably marching my direction
  3. There are very few genuine pleasures left in the world. Eating on a train is one of them.
  4. That’s a sentence you’ll never read on TripAdvisor
  5. FDR - hope the DCDR and ITG team will take his advice tonight - earned it!
  6. Kudos to Downpatrick and ITG. As Theodore Roosevelt said….
  7. Great work John. Those live steam models are worth looking after as they do age well. This is my brother’s 0-6-0T out for a run last month,35 years old now.
  8. For a few euro you can download the report from CORE/Companies House….
  9. What also helps, as with Peter Denny, John Ahern and indeed your own stuff David, is that everything on the layout from locos to buildings is painted by the same eye, so to speak. This gives a natural blending from the get go.
  10. Fab Alan. I think Iain Rice used to employ such a wash over everything to blend it all together
  11. Front cover of MRJ beckons!
  12. RPSI 1142, which is a corridor 1st, is close to this style. Downpatrick have a GSWR 3rd but don’t think it’s gangwayed
  13. Thanks @Mol_PMB - quite agree. I’m just coming at it from the perspective of a scratchbuilder and someone conscious of his own mortality An IRM C class could be 5 years off….
  14. Ideal opportunity for a skilled 3d print tech to come up with a C class body for a proprietary chassis @Past-Avenue?? @Killian Keane??
  15. Nice view of SLNC bay. Unusual to capture a GN shunt over there. Notice it’s a mixed rake with SLNC stock. The pic will have been taken early afternoon as the 1115 goods from Sligo has arrived - this is probably the 1:45 railbus. The combat indicator for this timing is the coach sitting in the bay. This means that the 7:20 to Sligo will be steam tonight
  16. Looks fabulous Leslie. But would it fit on the Dundalk traverser?
  17. Fabulous work - well done !
  18. Great effort - well done. Nice to see the homegrown range of Irish models on show too. As for the loco itself, you will always get satisfaction from building it and putting your stamp on it. To paraphrase an old Chinese dictum, the craftsman who makes a cabinet has a deeper joy than the collector who buys it.
  19. Certainly looks more like a power station than a shirt factory, which was Derry’s staple industry
  20. Great. Nicely captures that NCC/UTA look
  21. my note to self - next time you’re tempted to build an engine, just see if Alan is free to take on a commission! Brilliant work.
  22. Bachmann Scenecraft do a stone cottage style building which, if whitewashed, might be close. Would also be a really easy scratch build tbh.
