I was kindly given a load of OO or HO buildings and now I'm trying to give away the ones that don't suit my layout. Free on collection from Cork City, DM me if you want em.

They are really gorgeous models. Many thanks IRM

Park Royals have arrived on the Barna layout. Unreal detail. Nice wieght to them too. Lights are the best I've experienced on a coach. 20260616_202140.mp4 20260616_202627.mp4

Ahh jaysus! Things getting worse.

Sorry about that Derek, sometimes I can download a video that won't play in the browser.

Thanks Tully, I think I'll block up the bottom section of that window as well, too distracting and I don't need the light.

Sorry I uploaded a pic I stead of the video: 20260410_170233.mp4

I'm having fun trying different arrangements for the buildings behind the red brick viaduct. And I've started a grey stone stairs down to the platform, definitely the most challenging structure I've attempted so far.

Very atmospheric, lovely photos

There's always a reason to explain away our follies and whims! Here's a photo with my newly arrived palvans. Retaining wall mostly finished. I'll have to widen the gap between the wall and track though. It's removable so I can access the track to staging behind it and held in place by magnets.

Thanks JHB. It was planned to run both US and CIE outline, and for the scenery to be just about believable for either. This involves plenty of compromises of course. I opted for US style right hand running on the double main and Irish style high platforms for the station. I can only sleep at night by reminding myself that unstereotypical things exist on both rail systems like some rare high platform stations in the US. Actually is there someone on here more knowledgeable than me who can think of a right hand running section of double track in Ireland? Probably for some practical reason.
