Very nice:tumbsup:. Wish I had the space for a layout like that.

What? A competition to destroy our beloved mk3s? Best coaches on the Irish rail network by far.

The hornby wagons look fantastic with the 201s. Any pics of your bachmann intermodals ttc?

Apparently so, not sure why though.

I filmed 072 hauling the very same train close to the Lavistown Loop that day. Pitty the liner ceased the Tuesday after.

Is it finishing for good?

Does anybody know the times that eithre the timber trains or the dfds liners pass through the lavistown loop in north kilkenny? Any information would greatly appreciated.

Credit also has to given to Anthony and Wiggy and anyone else who has uploaded videos of their models on youtube.

I started collecting trains when I was seven, a year later I got a lima 201. I bought another lima 201 and executive coaches in a garden centre with my communion money but I never had any interest or knowledge of building a proper layout so I lost interest in the hobby after a while. seven years on I opened a railway modelling magazine to find ads for 141s, 181s, cravens, mk2as, mk2ds and a 201s on the way. Two months later I bought a 141 class and I have been hooked ever since. No room for a decent layout though:mad:. No doubt that money is definitely an issue. No one can employ me until I turn sixteen so I'm making the money up for the 071s by cutting hedges and lawns on a stretch of the former Kilkenny to Portlaoise line which is part of the grandad's garden. Everyone I have shown my models to whether they are 3 or 16 or 80 have always shown alot of interest. I hope that there are more young people out there who will carry on this hobby in the future. But with no doubt with the releases of all the Irish models so far that there will be plenty of "young blood" in the hobby.

Will it have roof vents included?

Those coaches look class. Will the mk3 egv kit be an overlay?

Thanks for the pics:tumbsup:, a bit of plastic card should do the trick.

Could someone please post a picture of the roof of an mk3 restaurant car. I'm struggling to find pics of the roof vents on the internet.

Update on the cement bubbles...

Very nice and simple to make. Any pics of the 42'2" flats? Are they made from scratch?

Thats the plan Glenberg.

The shed and the silo look great.

I can't open the links in the past few posts for some reason.

Thank you for the information.

Does anyone know what length the ammonia tankers were and was it the 42ft or 47ft flat wagons that carried the water tanks?

Brilliant videos, I love your layout

Nice. I might get a few of them myself.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could weather my bubble cement wagons as I have no idea where to start. This will be my first weathering project. If anyone could post pictures of some of their work it would be a big help.

Travellers were bare knuckle boxing under a motorway bridge in my area yesterday.
