During the ILDA dispute of summer 2000-I remember seeing loco 155 in Ballina with the new LED marker lights and shortly afterwards loco 077 arrived on the nightly liner train from Northwall sporting the same lights, By the end of 2001 most of the fleet had them fitted.
-
Lovely scene well done Eamonn.
-
No Kieran-I have an incline built to the lower level,if that doesn't work,I still have room for a helix-but the plan is to have an end to end branch line on the lower level with stock transfers via the six storage sidings and incline.

Yes Andy-I'm still finalising it though and it may change,my Enterprise set doesn't like too many tight curves...so I'm working on easing out any problems that I'm encountering, The"Kildare"type station that you see in the last photo has run around facilities-so that my DFDS and timber trains or anything else can run around without disrupting any up or down passenger services,-(it will make full use of the functions on the sound fitted 071 and 201 loco's). I plan to store most of my freight and per way rolling stock underneath the main layout and haul them up as required.

Thanks JHB and Eamonn-much appreciated, I could do with hiring your ballast train for a few weeks Eamonn as I'm going to be busy ballasting...

Morning Gents The NIR crew have made their way down to Tara jctn this morning for route knowledge with four Mk2s and 208. Across the platform 209 has charge of the Enterprise and over from that 234 pushes the Mk4 set.

Good evening gentlemen, Lights,camera,action.... 152 brings the Mk2d SUPERTRAIN set into platform 3 at Tara jctn on a driver training run while 077 works the empty Enterprise set on platform 2, 215 has charge of the Mk4 set on platform one In the distance 2601+2602 and 2607+2608 wait their turn on driver training and route knowledge trips

Enterprise 206 working the IWT liner.

There was only money allocated to overhaul and refurbish loco 216 as it wasn't feasible to overhaul any other 201 for Belmond at this time. -
It gives a new meaning to the phrase CIE SUPERTRAIN.

Morning Andy-I've always loved the atmosphere and era of GVS-another great scene,well done.
-
Excellent work Raymond,I'm very impressed with your developments,well done, I'm watching this layout with interest.
-
Yes Stephen I am for the new stations' date='they are fine and can be faced off with some brickwork, I'm also using some of the former layouts medcalf buildings In particular the island platform and building.
-
No need for a back scene in this area-the real thing will do for me.... The planned"Kildare"station-lots of options here too.
-
Main Bus wire installed-droppers next and I should be ready for a live"sound"test by Friday,all going well....!!!

Hi Vincent-see station area in front of 087.
-
-
Fantastic as usual Richie....looking forward to the end result....!!! You may have another client on the list yet for one.

Here is 087 at Westport station earlier today-it's first visit in five years. 087 has been uncoupled from the timber train and is slowly making its way back to the short siding at the station.
-
Thank you Stephen and Stephen...
-
Another view from the opposite direction... Platform 1 is a bay platform, The Mk2 set is parked on Platform 2,there are lots of options here for operations and I plan to recreate lots of Knock special arrivals and departures along with the regular passenger train services and of course the Ballina branch train will make appearances in the various forms e.g 1980s Park royals to the Cravens.

Good morning gentlemen, A progress report from the new Tara jctn, All track has been connected and currently I have a six coach CIE super train Mk2 set and an Enterprise EGV conducting gauge clearance work I expect to have power connected over the weekend and have some loco hauled movements early next week.
-
Very realistic running over those points Irishthump....keep up the good work.
-
Agreed- definatly a more realistic colour....nice one Anthony
