More work at Ballisodare mill sidings-Woodland scenics realistic water added to enhance the look of the canal..a new bridge and tunnel was added,-a heavily modified Medcalfe tunnel kit 185 arrives with a short ballast hopper train-and runs around the rake

Superb work Kevin, well done.

In Foxford John.

Thanks for the quick response Dave

Morning all, If anyone has a layout for sale,size approx 8x4,would they please contact me via private message, The layout is for an upcoming project in a Co Mayo town, ideal for any model railway clubs wishing to make a few euros/pounds on any spare layouts. Thank you.

Thanks Jason.

225 shunts the vans into position for unloading at the mill sidings.

A quiet bank holiday Sunday at the Lakeview freight yard see locomotives 124,134 and 185 stabled on the sidings awaiting their next turn of duty.

Ballisodare mill sidings, It has been an enjoyable experience creating and building the micro layout-thanks again to @irishmail for the initial construction, Here we see C class locomotive 226 arrive with the first revenue earning train. Still work in progress on one section-enjoy and thank you.

44007 on ballast hopper duties this afternoon on Ashburton grove.

Your on the wrong layout mate….Ashburton grove is the next right down the hill….

The driver of the new hop on hop off AX open top tour bus waits for customers on station road.

An IR themed evening as 048 working the Northwall-Sligo BELL liner uses the bidirectional loop at Tara junction in order to overtake 080 which has gotten into trouble at the platform with the Dublin Heuston-Galway service, The driver is currently going through his fault finding process in the cab of 080. 127+130 pass in the other direction with the Sligo-Northwall BELL liner.

A busy schedule is planned……

Well said Tom…..very valid points And why wouldn’t it-it was sold in conjunction with a major UK retailer-the 001s wasn’t.

@DJ Dangerous A useful vehicle for the drink run….

Thanks John, An update over the coming days.

Not too happy with the above statement, I already purchased the Intercity Mk2 NIR set to compliment my 110s,201 and future blue Hunslet which is on order, I won’t be buying the maroon Mk2s simply because I never seen them,and have no interest in them While I understand the very valid above points I feel to be held to ransom to buy this to get that in the future is a poor statement-quite a few of us have spent a fair few thousand euros on models over the last few years, I feel the ICR was the wrong decision for IRM,I’m actually sorry now I have purchased a three and four car set. With the amount of Cravens and future Park Royal coaches around the ideal choice would have been the BR and Dutch steam heating vans-which were go anywhere -North,South,East and West. The C class is another badly missing locomotive along with a rerun of some 001s (001 on Supertrain livery with the black roof would have been nice) A 2600 Arrow railcar in original,green and blue and current livery would have been a better choice than the ICR-again the two car with sound fitted and interior lights would sell well. Maybe give the Bullied chassis wagons a break now and concentrate on some of the above for the future, IRM has achieved a fair bit in ten years which I am thankful for-and here’s to a successful future.

Sulzer locomotive 107 arrives at the Mill sidings with a short perway train.

Some recent action on Tara junction.

Thanks as always Jason

174+128 work the empty Sligo-Northwall oil train, 160+192 work the Platin-Cork laden bogie bulk cement train followed closely by 220 working a Platin-Tullamore two axle laden cement liner. 130 propels a Mk3 push pull set into the tunnel -control car 6102 leads.
