i would but (of all the things) im to young to join! roger joanes, micheal patterson and brian baker have all helped with my facebook page and there photos do help an awful lot!

I will stick with 00 guage anyway as i have a few old train sets in it and the silver fox c class is on the way, while i do have space i would prefer to keep it tidy and small focusing on quality rather in quality if you will (keep it to one station) although it is a tempting idea!

yes I do have the ernie shepard book and another such book but there is no station layout for ballinhassig in those book which is the station im leaning towards. i have seen a few of the models, the silver fox aec railcar, the studio scale Bandon tank and J26. i think ive seen the saddletank but those were withdraw in the 40s a belive and i would like to keep it to 1950s spec. the same argument could be made for an adams radial tank where a simular tank to one was used but withdrawn well before the 50s. I didnt know of a number 90 3d print that might be a good shout. thank you for the advice i have seen this collection many times before, I run a facebook page about the former CBCSR And have seen many pictures. these are some of the creme of the crop and a fantanstic collection That i do often visit for a glimpse of the former life of the railway. geohive is good but i find that some of the station layouts were upgraded since the 1888 survey unfortunatly

Hello all, I am very new to modeling and that so I require some help. i want to build a layout of one of 3 former CBSCR stations being Ballinhassig, crossbarry(kinsale junction) or upton. i have very basic track, borderline no rolling stock and a Silverfox C class on the way. my questions really are what radius track the curves would be for ballinhassig, how to go about making suitible buildings and terrain. please do advise on rolling stock and locos too
