Thanks David, The insert track has been joined by using fishplates -soldered to the rail for improved connectivity, Woodland scenics products were used on the surface to create the effects.

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.
