in Dublin jack?

 

To be honest, anywhere around or in Dublin. I have two meetings after the New Year, and hopefully something will be confirmed.

Oh. And some updates on  junction project

Looking forward to seeing the whole loop in action, should be immense and it is a joy to see something totally different! Keep up the good work and all the best for 2026

Thanks! Now we looking for a hall to set it up. I hope i will be able to organise something in March.

It's been a while

Two new projects:
I started a small technical station with the side track to the local transport company:

And Marcin is ready to work on passing loop on a single-track line.





As a FREMO Ireland , Polish Division  We have now 51 line/station modules. 1 loop module set (presented in Wexford this year), 6 curve line modules and one junction modules. A little over 65 meters layout  

The scheduled plan for entire layout should be ready after New Year

That’s an amazing amount of space for running trains!!!

And for filming whatever amateur projects you like!

The FREMO modules are about €40-ish each, I think.

@Jack_Dunboyne had negotiated a 10% discount for forum members at one stage, but I’m not sure if that still stands.

How many modules will you need? About 25?

Still there! Send me a pm what do u need

If anyone is interested in an Irish modular, I'm using the FREMO Hauptbahn standard- PM me! I personally think it's a great solution to the difficulty of creating clubs in a country with a sparse enthusiast population. Apart from the Polish layout FREMO Ireland have, I believe the SDMRC also has the beginnings of a GWR Hauptbahn-standard layout, however I believe theirs has code 75 track whereas I plan on using code 100. @Jack_Dunboyne can correct me but I believe FREMO Ireland also use Peco code 100 on their layout.

Yep. Code 100 but you can easly do the transition module from 75 to 100

That was a really good day, thanks for all kind words:)

Version 2.0

And first try on the bridge module

Trial set up od the new junction modules.

Right now the total length of the Polish fremo layout is approx 180 ft among 5 of us. With the total track length of 300 ft.

Some photos from the Wexford's show. Plan for the October: double the size (at least :)) 

Ready for Wexford

Getting ready for Wexford

As FREMO Ireland we will present 17 modules plus the reverse loop. 

Christmas trains

Santa was here

The engine above was so alone....

.....it's time to start looking for some help. Is there any AA club for modelers?

Santa sent me the letter with huge spoiler...
