    The 3D printed Humber Pigs are from a seller on eBay. The RUC and Army Land rovers are modified (by me) Oxford Diecast. Cheers Darius

    Up platform and station building footprints templated. I reduced the depth of the buildings to accommodate the “hidden” storage siding. Platform constructed using 2mm thick card stock. Cheers Darius

    Whiterock Station down platform built from 2mm card stock. I traced the edge profile using a pencil held against the centre of one of the CAF3000 coaches. Platform edging and paving added using photo paper strips cut to size - matt side up (mostly). Cheers Darius

    Added a couple of 3D printed Humber Pigs to the line-up. I remember queuing up with my Mum and sister to see the film Grease outside the Avenue Cinema in Belfast one evening in 1978, whilst these vehicles were preparing to go out on patrol in the Grand Central Hotel (requisitioned by the army) next door. That cinema was a real flea pit. My mum wouldn’t let us go to it again. It was knocked down in the late 1980s along with the hotel to make way for the Castle Court Shopping Centre. Cheers Darius

    The point rodding is a prominent feature of the Magheramorne Loop so this was fitted using the Wills cosmetic point rodding kits. The Wills rodding is nicely detailed but difficult to fit together as it relies on butt joint gluing rod ends together. Much easier said than done… Cheers Darius

    Not that I am aware of. My father was Indian (Parsee religion) and my mother is English of Irish descent (Buckley and Duffy) so no royal blood. Cheers Darius

    NIR MPD No.63 enters Magheramorne Loop with a light goods working to Larne. A short time later, NIR 70 Class No. 71 “River Bush” passes en route to Belfast York Road. Cheers Darius

    Still a bit too neat and tidy - needs some spoil spills, sleeper stacks, random bushes etc. Photos of the site show random concrete slabs, so I placed these over the omega loop pits of the point control system - to protect them. Cheers Darius
