Last year I built a sort of Demo layout for a vintage club field day. 
It went down a storm with both Adults and kids alike.And while the 
Layout was basic and built quickly,people that normally would not  
see any model railway layout let alone a Irish one with Irish stock 
were stunned to see locos and stock they remember as kids. 
Education of the public for our hobby is important as the most common 
question in where the feck  can you get all this Irish stock. 
I building a new unit that will slot into Gerrys unused Ballybeg and hope 
To show at the next vintage day in September .
