    Evening gentlemen, Another bit of progress done over the last few days....I've added some scenery-(not my strongest point)-but I'm happy with the results The per way sidings are starting to fill up with the weed-spray train and HOBS train now stabled there, Over on platform 6 the 29000 awaits the connection from 208 and the NIR Mk2s which have arrived on platform 5.

    A very nice selection of colour light signals there Raymond-and will look great on your spectacular layout, watching with interest.

    Good evening gentlemen,thank you all very much for your kind replies,it is much appreciated.... Work is progressing well on the layout-the up and down fast lines have been handed back to passenger services,and attention has now turned to the relief lines... Here we see sound fitted loco 0117077 arrive with the HOBS train on the loop platform-with 0117071 waiting to couple to the weedspray train on platform 4, The tamper and Sperry wagon are stabled on one of the new perway sidings

    Excellent video Anthony....it's what railway modelling is all about....recreating the real thing in miniature and getting enjoyment out of it...you have certainly done that-well done.

    Photo taken from the station footbridge sees 0117071 move slowly towards the limit of the possession-(the red light in the distance) in order to discharge ballast from the rearmost wagons.

    A late night possession of the station area sees ballasting and tamping taking place, 0117071 has charge of the HOBS train which is about to discharge along platform one, On platform two tamper 751 has started working under the watchful eye of Tommy the engineer in charge of the operation.

    "Wonderful weathering" not overdone either with dirt in all the right places... A lovely setting too Eamonn.

    Still a bit of work to be done on the loco-but it's looking great at this stage of its overhaul.

    Slowly getting there-painting track and baseboard a shade of brown... The HOBS train and tamper are next up for some intensive ballasting work.... Embankment work in progress as well.

    Hi Kieran, Yes it wasn't an easy decision to change track plans but I'm delighted I did, My priority was first to get the trains moving again and see how they performed on the new tracks, Phase two will be some painting and ballasting with the final stage of some areas of scenery-not my strongest point-but I'll give it a go.

    Cheers and thank you Eamonn Another late night at Tara Jctn eventually saw some action..... From the left 0117077 rests on the turntable road, 29001 stands on the loop road, Mk2 NIR set arrives behind 208, 2607+2608 arrive on platform 4, 8208 has charge of the down Enterprise on platform 3, 234 pushes the Mk4 set on platform 2, Last but not least loco 201 shares the bay platform with the arrow 2601+ 2602. An eventful evening....!!

    Morning gentlemen, After a few weeks of inactivity I got to work again yesterday on the layout, I wasn't happy with the original track plan so I started again, This time I have a four track mainline station with the potential for four trains operating at the one time, I have also installed a turntable and this can be accessed from the MPD without causing any conflicting movements with the main lines, Colour light signal control the station area.

    Patrick-the restriction applied to the river bridge at Ballisodare,which has since been refurbished, There is now no restriction on the operation of the 071/201s locomotives on the entire Sligo line.

    Superb work and inspirational,well done Raymond, I'm watching your layout develop with great interest.

    From my records I see that nearly all of the 201s were fitted with the new marker lights during 2001,with the 071s shortly afterwards.
