WRENNEIRE

Back in the day when I was a keen DIY man I replaced all the doors in chez Wrenneire The old ones were standard flush doors, 6'6" x 2'6" in old money These doors have a very rigid structure and when fixed to a 2"x2" frame they are almost indestructable Because of the nature of the construction it is easy to cut holes for point motors etc and also to scoop out parts to make rivers , valleys etc Every skip in the neighborhood has a flush door or two ! Unfortunatly the "layout" is now a large storage area but plans are afoot to start rebuilding a DCC version I have the controller.........

One of the regular lads who attend the Bray show bought a 1960's Hammant & Morgan catalogue They were the Rolls Royce of the controller world back in the day It also contained a 1661 pricelist and a list of suppliers for the "British Isles" Low and behold there was Dublin listed with 3 suppliers Heleys, spelt incorrectly, of Dame St M Ascough of Lower Leeson St And the bould Cyril L. Fry of Churchtown Rd I never knew he was a retailer, I wonder what else he sold?

It makes you wonder The underbidder in the Feb auction was outbid on his £190 bid but he never even bid on the second auction Might have something to do with being an "Irish" auction as opposed to a "UK" one?

Another view of the bridge This time looking towards Killester from Clontarf Rd The old Station House can be seen on the right

Could have been Gypsum now that I think of it I used to escort explosives to Kingscourt and that may have been where I saw them Good detective work Pat

I am sure I saw some with no ploughs, being dropped off for later use?

Bosko One of the best posts to appear on this forum That what does not harm up makes us stronger Eoins DART has progressed in leaps and bounds partly because of some well aimed criticism but also because he took everything on board and was man enough to accept his model was not what the punter wanted and went on from there Indeed at the last Stillorgan Fair there was one of his original DARTS for sale ant it was unrecognisable compared to today's offering Again Westhy has taken critisism on board and also MM, who is having his ST coaches repainted as we speak But room must also be put aside for those who are happy with what is on offer, they afterall are the people with the money and without it where would we be?

I reckon after the new ballasts these babies will be in high demand

I have to agree with Blaine & RedRich here If you pay top dollar you should recieve top notch work As my modelling skills are non existant I commissioned some Park Royals but when they arrived they were way below what I had expected I hope to have them sorted some time but with all the new model about to be released they are on the back burner However people vote with their pocket and if this is a coach that you are happy with, knock yourself out Its your hobby, enjoy!

Just to the bridge Seemed like a great idea after a gallon and a bit The walk from Fairview Strand to the bridge is all uphill, is was oxballed after the walk Saved a tenner on me taxi fare though

i was in town this evening meeting some friends Also met some undercover IRM staff, thanks for the beer man, you know who you are Got one of these ideas when you are full as a duck Walked from Mulligans Poolbeg Street to the bridge Took this pic The things I do for you people
