  1. A blast from the past-a 1970s Dinky toys Atlantean double decker in the yellow pages livery - I had one back then and later destroyed it by painting it in Bus Eireann livery around 1987/88. So it was great to pick up this one for £10 last weekend.
  2. Congratulations on an excellent presentation of Northport quay in RM900, I didn’t realise it was based on the former Ballina-Kilala branch until I seen the map-the actual junction from Swinford was to be north of Foxford station had it been built-so close to my former home…well done David
  3. A chance find and purchase of two Cravens coaches at the Erne model railway clubs exhibition in Enniskillian yesterday led me to recreate an old favourite of mine-the Ballina branch train, A bonus was the fitting of passengers and interior lighting with stay alive feature-the rear coach being nicely weathered. 190+184 were allocated to the set.
