    2' was more extensive than I thought, thanks gents!

    Very interesting project - is Midland Irish Peat 2' or 3'? I ask as you mentioned your interest in 2' at the start - I know the BnM and ESB railways were 3' so I'm curious if there were 2' Irish bog railways too?

    You can keep your slugs lads! CIE knew the real high-flyer was the snail. I don't want to pour salt in the wounds but the slugs only left a trail to show how far behind they were.

    I'd guess IrishTrainScenes meant Slieve Gullion - GNR 171 https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/rpsi-collection/1/no171-slieve-gullion

    Got an email confirming the bubbles have arrived today! Project status updated too! I have the ivory ones on order. I'll have to hold on for payday for an orange pack ... fingers crossed!

    She's looking well. The separately fitted handrails really top off whats already a very nice model.
  7. Flying Snail
    The red and white is nice - it'll really stand out on the layout

    The pictures of Enniskillen on here were lovely - looking forward to seeing the next layout: I hope the SLNCR will still call at it

    The No. 4 bus goes from Heuston - less hassle and probably the fastest too of the public transport options

    Depends on where you're starting from (no DART service between Dublin Connolly and Malahide / Howth on the October bank holiday weekend) , but Blackrock College is about a 10-15 minute walk from either Booterstown or Blackrock Dart stations. Buses will get you a little closer (the S6 stops at the end of cross Avenue while the 4 and 7 stops on Rock Road)

    Condolences to Davids's family and friends. RIP.

    Very nice indeed ... there's something about convertibles: rugged, utilitarian but totally charming!
  13. Flying Snail
    Very nice weathering - carriage ends and door areas look great. Interiors look very good too!
  14. Flying Snail
    Well done to all involved - one (very big) step closer!

    Mill Road.

    It's really effective - you can see the effect through the pictures

    This jumped out at me too!! There must be something coming down the line .. lets 'see'

    Thanks for posting this Eoin - very interesting. I know its dependent on the material - but how frequently do you have to change blades?
  18. Flying Snail
    Thanks for posting that Sean - with plenty of pictures its a great reference alright (and very informative on how crossings are managed)

    These are all really impressive ... but it's the little cottage that caught my eye, I really like the thatched roof!
  20. Flying Snail
    Wasn't this topic previously discussed ????
  21. Flying Snail
    Looking good! How will you manage access to the middle of the room - crawl under the viaduct, or will it be removable?
  22. Flying Snail
    Very interesting indeed! Really impressive modelling skills .... and we don't see much Irish HO, so very unique! Welcome, and looking forward to seeing more of this project!

    Yes, the Bachmann N may be on the long side for this layout ... but it is one of the more prototypically accurate. None of the UK RTRs, including it, are spot on though ..... and layouts are meant to be used - so finding a small shunter that's close enough is probably the better option. It'll be cheaper too
  24. Flying Snail
    Bachmann N class is another - its showing its age now (nice model but its not designed for DCC). 26 of these SECR locos were exported to Ireland (K1 and K1a class). Bachmann also released them in CIE liveries. Getting your hands on a UK livery to repaint should be easy enough.

    Well there were the 'Dicky' Taras .. so you never know, you might get lucky (which would require IRM to get unlucky) but I wouldn't bet on it
