House transplant… A model of the family home in Belfast that I built in the early 1980s. Now to be restored and relocated to Whiterock, minus the front and back gardens that are too far gone. Cheers Darius

Looking at Google Streetview this looks like the location from the M2 side. The standard motorway crash barrier doesn’t seem to have been adequate to protect the permanent way - then again it’s prime purpose is to deform and absorb energy whilst preventing vehicles from crossing into the opposite carriageway, not necessarily to protect a railway.

My understanding from the information provided is that, without Accurascale’s intervention, Heljan would have most likely gone under. Furthermore, part of the reason for their predicament were the actions of large retailers demanding big discounts. What has happened is that the big retailers have been cut out of the loop and now only Heljan and the consumer benefit. For some reason the big retailers are disgruntled. Quel surprise. I had preorders for a couple of Heljan locos - one with Rails and one with Kernow. Kernow were kind enough to inform me that my preorder with them was now defunct. As yet not a peep from Rails. I’ve just re-ordered them from the new Heljan website - simples. Cheers Darius
