    Thanks to @ Ernie, we know what such a scene should look like…..

    I understand that delayed gratification is a sign of intelligence. Bask in your intellectual greatness DJ…

    I think there’s only one person for it…. @connollystn

    That’s cracking George. Museum standard.

    Donut shaped layout ? They can be terrific.

    Lovely sense of time and place Noel. Great work
  7. Galteemore
    not completely ….

    No use to me but having built and sold layouts myself I can appreciate what a bargain this is. Snap it up quick someone !!

    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.

    Or the monthly cattle coming out of Dingle…. Roger at Alphagraphix does do CIE travel posters BTW…just to keep on topic!!

    ‘bright clearing’ - did the person who named Fintona ever actually visit it?
  13. Galteemore
    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 ?
  14. Galteemore
    Nice Noel, are you going to add a bit of ballast etc between the door and the cess to simulate a pathway?
  15. Galteemore
    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.
  16. Galteemore
    One of my earliest memories of trips to Leitrim in the 70s involves the corrugated iron shops - now closed - between Belcoo and Manorhamilton. That’s shops made out of the stuff, not retailing it…..For Drumkeeran Road, I’ve tried building one from plastic sheet etc. Crude but 2’ rule and all that - it’ll be at the back of the layout. First pass with some weathering today.

    Looking good Noel. Are the cows small or far away ?
  18. Galteemore
    Drill Service Ltd of Horley come highly recommended and will give good advice. Many of the drill bits sold under model branding such as Expo etc are not always up to much….

    Personal messenger. Click on Airfixfan’s name and it should come up as an option - an icon of an envelope ….

    The answer is it depends! Have you tried an Archimedes drill? Dremel etc are good but really need to be in a stand for work like that. Am assuming you have dimpled the work piece first, and are using lubricant ?
  21. Galteemore
    Shaping up really well. This will be one of those layouts where you don’t actually need any trains to make it interesting!
  22. Galteemore
    Colin- I think Alphagraphix do these.
  23. Galteemore
    Nice work - good subtle blending of colours. Quite appropriate for Carrantuohill to look steamy too - there’s got to be a reason the GN named 174 after it!
  24. Galteemore
    As in this lovely shot from Ernie…..

    Any self respecting CB English teacher would have pulled you up for using ‘can’ rather than ‘may’……
