Superb Bren

That will make a great set up Dave, The best of luck with it. well done.

Thanks Joe!

Good luck, Dave, I think this will be a great expose of your fine work.

I do not suppose you're going to have it up and running in the next week?

(Yeah, had to ask)

I should be back in production in a week. Just have to get power to some of the machines and get them set up.

For anyone that's interested you can follow the setup progress on Facebook

Congratulations Dave! Looks fantastic!

Cheers Bos

Thanks lads

Marvelous to see, Dave. The very best of luck.

When is the official opening?

Not sure, lots to do first!

Good luck on the new premises Dave, maybe Santa might bring you a few heaters, looks like cold starts on winter mornings, birr...

I'll be fitting a big stove, as I can burn all the offcuts!

Sounds fantastic!

I hope there's plans for an IRM Open Day.....

It'll be a while before that! Although anyone that fancies doing some unpacking are more than welcome to come up!

Thanks lads, it's a great space alright. There is a big room at the back which will become the layout building area, it means I will be able to have a number of layouts on the go at once.

It also has 2 large rooms upstairs, the plan will be a showroom with 4 or 5 layouts fully finished in N gauge and OO gauge, customers can then try them all and take one away with them.

The long term plan will be to open a fully stocked shop.

Onwards and upwards!

Model Rail Baseboards are on the move!

I have moved the workshop to an industrial unit in Valleymount in Wicklow. The business continues to grow and with over 1500 sq ft I will have room for a showroom and I plan to have a number of layouts on display for customers to try.

I love watches and have quite a collection, but I just don't see the attraction of a smart watch. They are quite boring and the only one that looked any way decent is the Moto 360.

You just can't beat a good 3D mechanical watch something the screen of a smart watch can't replicate, and besides my phone does everything and more the watch can do!

That 3rd shot is stunning, so realistic

Looking forward to seeing it progress Harry

Eoin you are the master! That's the dogs danglies! And you bringing it to Bray tomorrow?

I have a client that will only run pristine, he was very fussy about the ballast it had had to be absolutely perfect.

He won't touch anything that's weathered.

Rule number one applies

I collect Deltics, it's worth €220 or a little more.

Definitely two candidates for natural selection

Stunning Bren, absolutely stunning

Looks great George, you can buy the smoke generator with fan built in.

Sorry didn't realise he was a Murphy Model agent

No worries Noel, I don't advertise it. I get them for clients if I'm asked usually part of a layout package.

It is a cracking job and worthy of collector interest as a top class example of what could be achieved with a MIR kit, but will it not become functionally obsolete in 10-12 weeks time when fine scale MM 121s hit the shelves? Agree the SW1500 chassis is a really good runner.

Unfortunately it will be a lot longer than 10 to 12 weeks till we see them. It's well into next year at the moment.

Wowzers! It's a monster! Great job Bren:tumbsup:

Absolutely stunning I've been staring at those pics for the last 20 mins. The detail is fantastic.

Excellent Eoin! Great for small spaces
