    Yes, it’s interesting to see that enthusiast groups started in GB some fifty years before the IRRS was founded - and the British movie industry was already satirising enthusiast run railways as early as 1952…..you could have caught a Swilly or SLNC train to watch it….

    Heavily subsidised by Scottish govt, which pays about £9.80 for each passenger journey. Although this is quite good value…..every passenger journey from Inverness to Wick is subsidised at £25!!!

    Yes, I suspect Lifford was regarded as being an extension of Strabane yard for this purpose, and the vans trundled across loose coupled, with a shunter in the cab.

    Government involvement in public transport arteries goes back to the canals of Babylon and Roman roads. And continues through things like General Wade’s roads in Scotland right up to HS2. It’s just a fact of life. Ireland was a significant military establishment for the Crown, vital to defending the western approaches and a convenient place to garrison and exercise troops. So railways were built to facilitate that, just as they were to Aldershot, Portsmouth and Salisbury Plain.

    We have had a constant inflow of in-use railwayana into the home since Galteemore Junior began his career as a professional railwayman..not that I’m jealous or anything…..

    Beautiful stuff. Black buffer shanks are easily overlooked, but an important little detail. SLNC loco livery, such as it was, specified this too

    Looks very much like it’s enamel, screwed to a wooden background. Look carefully and you can see the - quite well done - attempt to fill in and conceal the screw heads on the front.

    Excellent- this shot in particular conveys the layout atmosphere well
  9. Galteemore
    That’s really interesting. A few tweaks to the proportions of certain elements and it would look very convincing indeed.

    There are some fascinating and (intentionally or unintentionally) funny threads out there on this…http://www.willys-mb.co.uk/rudloe.htm

    First ever trip on the Bluebell Railway yesterday. Fabulous to see pre/Grouping liveried 01 and Terrier….

    Interesting unusual view of QQ. Note the ancient ‘convertible’ wagon.

    Interesting stuff John - and fascinating to see what makes or breaks a layout. Most intrigued to see that you lived in LB. My 36.75mm journey began when we were living in Wendover and regularly used the LB model shop.

    Yes. Might leave you feeling like a basket case.
  15. Galteemore
    Could you table an amendment with the mods ?

    202 was Louth but this cannot be 202! The only flaw on this superb model. This is a U of the 1915 batch. 202 was of the 1948 batch - the ones with side window can and LMS style tender as modelled by OO Works.

    If SLNC, then door handle goes on left

    Stars of the show, clearly.

    That’s been beautifully made. Really captures the look of a GN PP class in working condition. Nice to see brake rigging both on loco and tender.

    You always knew your fingers would get burnt

    Striking comment, Alan.

    Glad his dreams weren’t snuffed out

    Great news - thanks Paul. Look forward to making a purchase!

    Great stuff Patrick. Like Brookhall, the layered heights of this layout really make this composition work. Looks really well.

    You are really spoiling us, Ambassador
