Twas my layout actually! The annoying codes are all my idea! Thanks for the chats Leslie.

Belongs to Nathan, a man from Wesht Cork, I sort of stole it for the weekend.

Just finished an exhausting, yet amazing weekend up in Mount Temple. Apologies to everyone I annoyed with my ding ding! (We were operating bell codes) Picked up a few kits that I can do up nicely in my prototypical-ish fashion! VID_20261025_163135.mp4 Many thanks to @leslie10646 for the generously priced GN van (they made it to cork!) and for good conversation over the weekend. And to @jhb171achill for good conversation, and introducing me to some very useful people. To @MikeO and the other Mike, for putting up with my shenanigans once more. To @Killian Keane for great company on Saturday and for producing such a fabulous W&T loco!! And who can forget my second man @LNERW1. Without him I wouldn't have been able to get up to nearly as many shenanigans throughout the weekend! Finally, just thanks to the MRSI for having me and to any other Forum member or reader I met over the weekend. This really is a social hobby, at least on this side of the pond!

Can't wait to see em!

I really hope they're actually steaming if you do decide to go now! All I can say is they were when I rocked up!

Made by a very skilled gentleman!

Kildare steam museum, fabulous place with 6 working stationary steam engines if I remember correctly. Nice cafe there too. They do steam ups on Sundays and Bank holidays. The only thing is I'm not sure how accessible it is by public transport.

Surprised no manufacturer has done anything like this in the past, given how much time they spend recording DCC sound files. The only thing I can suggest is using sound recorder on your phone and recording them yourself? That is a lot of work though in fairness.

Cie: Waterford and Tramore section will also be appearing in it's 2nd exhibition in completed form. Please pop by and say hi if you're attending the exhibition!

I see that every time im near there. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a daily driver.

Thank god, thought I'd broken it!

Didn't get many photos of the weekend, however the ones I did get were of @dropshort105s fabulous C class which I was ever so kindly able to commandeer for a while! Great weekend all round. Many thanks to those involved especially @LNERW1 for his help as usual.

It looks like it, especially considering the growth from last year!

You'll have to excuse the mess, but the 2ND module of the newly named CIE, Waterford and Tramore section, is now nearly complete. With the Dunshaughlin exhibition just around the corner, I had to get the finger out here! It's a very small module and nothing breathtaking but it certainly adds to operations. Somehow it's up to nearly 10ft by now. Dunno is it a micro-layout anymore!

Just a reminder to anybody in the area that a model railway exhibition will be operating on the 26th and 27th from 12 to 6 and 12 to 5. If anyone is in the area please do pop by. Admission is free and there is plenty more to see around the town during the weekend.
