Beautiful Modelling Irishswissernie, Aspirational from a rookie perspective, but so much learning for folks like me - all the A's look great on your layout.

Hi seagoebox, Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to supply this comprehensive information - great references and suggestion there. The Railway Junction Diagram of Dublin from 1912 is fascinating. You are clearly most knowledgeable and I greatly appreciate your sharing and advice. Regards, R&L -

Hello Wexford70, This is a great site by the Government of Ireland - easy to get lost in it looking at all kinds of content outside of railways (I enjoyed looking at sites and property of several folks I know ) - relatively easy to use too. Many Thanks, R&L -

Hi jc_014, Thanks very much for this excellent and fascinating interactive tool - it captures so much information in an attractive graphic manner. I would certainly recommend it to other curious souls . Much appreciated John. Regards, George -
Hi Irishswissernie, Thats a beautifully composed and evocative picture of 1960 Dun Laoghaire - reflecting both happy and sad experiences for many Irish people. Anyway, on the picture itself, the colour balance appears very realistic to me - by way of contrast, the picture of A42 is heavily influenced by a blue cast, not at all uncommon in various slide films of the day. Difficult to say, but in my humble opinion, when corrected for more true colour balance, I would suggest it may actually darken the green in that image. Regards, R&L

Thanks so much Galteemore - That looks very promising - Regards, R&L -
Hello, Any advice on obtaining a map/illustration of the Irish railway network at its most populated/developed period. I have located a rather small (A4 size) map produced by the Viceregal Commission on Irish Railways in 1906, but not expandable to facilitate easy and leisurely reading - the detail is just too small !. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Warbonnet, Delighted to get a second opportunity - I just added A46 and 036 to my earlier A purchases, plus picked up some previously out of stock wagons - a nice, but expensive, morning !
-
Absolutely wonderful Patrick - I feel transported back to a more relaxed time in 1967. I am fortunate to have acquired 3 of these superb "A's" - I did however miss out on the lined green A46 (?) and have been seriously considering A42 - it looks really striking on your layout. Well done.

Photographic Website Updates

Hello "thewanderer", As a newbi to the hobby, I have found your site to be wonderfully informative and educational - not only on the current, and recent past, state and operation of Irish railways, but also a broader consequential observation of Irish society - people, activity, infrastructure etc. Great work and images - well done. -
Wonderful atmospheric layout - I love the subtle detailing and weathering everywhere - very well done.
-
Fergalm1 - beautiful images, and of course, your truly lovely layout. I love the fine details - various tractors, the Bedford lorry and the MG (?). I see from the tread that this is your first layout - amazing achievement. I'm just a rookie, currently accumulating stock and learning so much from the many talented people on this forum.

Hi declan64,
I want to compliment you on this and all your previous videos - excellent and so informative .
I'm a Covid "returner" to this wonderful hobby - just commenced in March and have been busy learning and building up my stock of Locomotives, coaches and wagons. I have used your review videos extensively as part of my learning - went ahead and purchased 3 MM 121's (brilliant), now 3 A's from IRM, (just missed that lovely A46, but I'll probably now buy the lighter green version.
I know those Bachmann coaches are well before my modelling time, but do you have any advice on how I might purchase a couple ?
Thank you.

What a great "story board" of this important arrival - against the backdrop of your wonderful layout, full of inspirational details.

Many thanks for the welcome NIRCLASS80 - much appreciated. I completely agree, I'm amazed and excited with all the options for Irish modellers.

Many thanks for the welcome ttc0169. I really enjoyed our chat and advice. I've been catching up on many of the video and picture posts of your magical layout - much to learn from, and to attempt to emulate some of the smaller details.
