That roof is mind blowing. Fantastic as usual, Kevin

Many thanks for all the words of support, lads. Means a lot. Thankfully the treatment has worked well for me. I have been fighting this thing since 2010 but this is the first time I have needed chemo. Hopefully I will get a break for a few years now. Previous treatments such as anti-body therapy and radiotherapy, while not as severe , are not really long lasting. Onwards and upwards now . Won't let it get me down

No updates on this thread in quite a while. I have been receiving chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma since December. The treatment resulted in quite bad back pain, so I did not really go near the layout. I had a meeting with my consultant during the week and the good news is that my latest scan was all clear. Cancer gone, in other words. Happy days. The trade off with my particular lymphoma is that it is non aggressive and slow growing, but it can never be fully got rid of. This means it will almost certainly return in the future, but hey, I will take the victories where I get them. I had been making some wall sections before Christmas to go around the railway yard, so hopefully I will have some some pics of those soon enough, now that the treatment is finished. Bet ye can't wait

Excellent! Never get tired of this layout

Fabulous !

Maybe @josh_ might be interested if they are free. I believe he is looking for donations below

great to see the "second section" finally raised up. Looking forward to developments

I'm pretty sure this ad should not be in the "free to a good home " section. Just saying

Paddy , that wood looks like white deal, rather than red deal. If so, it's very unstable and prone to movement (warping). If so I would advise you to screw it in place or at least glue it down. I might be mistaken , but that is what it looks like to me.

SERIOUSLY?!!!!!!!! Wonder how the ol donations are going. If anyone is donating, I could do with three or four 141s and maybe a ball of wagons, (any type- I am not greedy at all) Not tomention a couple of 071s

Hi Jason. What a complete balls up! Look, I think we all know the individual you are speaking about. This isn't the first time I have heard of his shoddy carry on and his f*** you attitude to his customers. " If you don't like it , what are you gonna do about it". How he gets the time of day on here is beyond me. A well liked member of this community got same crap treatment from him as well, and has nothing good to say about him. . I have heard of delays on jobs, but 4 years tears the arse out of it completely. If I have the wrong guy in mind I will hold my hands up, but I doubt it. As the lads say above, take a deep breath and hopefully this won't put you off the hobby for good. Derek.

Thanks lads, just wondering.............

what did they go for when released?

nature doesn't hang around. 4years and the tracks are almost fully hidden (close to the car0

Just seal the boards with a quick coat of primer. Moisture gets everywhere. It won't kill you to do it, but if you don't you might very well regret it- maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life . Also remember the old wise saying about assuming things will be fine- "ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL F*** *PS"

Tell me this is a silly/ childish question, but does the word "Esso" actually appear anywhere on these tankers. Just asking............

Thanks @Galteemore. What an absolute crying shame.

My God , what A beautiful setting/station that was. Wonder what it looks like today? A shagging greenway I suppose?

Do it all in your own sweet time. You won't enjoy anything if you do it under pressure. This is supposed to be a hobby to be enjoyed and not a job with deadlines. You will get enough of that later in life.

Looking good Patrick. Just wondering how you are going to deal with the grass growing up through the track (and eventually everything else)?

Astounding Kevin. As per. Running out of superlatives at this stage

Thanks for that @Der Rechtsanwalt. Ah, I get it now. So it will pass under Roxboro Road instead of going across Careys Road. And I understand you are just re-posting videos, so please continue to do so. Absolutely love them

Have to say, being from Limerick, I absolutely love this thread. Especially the videos. However , close to the beginning of this one a title comes on screen showing the name "Ardnacrusha". Ardnacrusha is nowhere near this line . As I say, I am loving the videos, but I am being just a little pedantic. Ardnacrusha is in Co. Clare (just). Could I also ask, while I am here- Are there plans to reinstate the long gone bridge on Careys road as part of this project?

Thanks Denis. Remember you saying that the beads of styrofoam get stuck for ever after using them. I thought I had gotten them all but if you look under the bridge in the last photo, you will see I actually didn't get them all. Two little feckers hiding on the bank

Thanks @irishthump. I actually went down that road at the beginning, with bristles. I tried ones from a yard brush and they were way too thick. Probably should have tried some from a paint brush or the like. We live and learn.......
