Wasn't sure where to post this, but i emailed dezsullivan@gmail.com 10 days ago and have received no response, is he still active and have I the right address? looking to pick up a small order from him.

Foliage tied together lovely. Great looking bridge too.

Why couldn't I have been born just a few decades earlier?

Not my area as my own thread will show, but it all looks very smart regardless of whether it's correct.

Sounds like a great idea, let's get this topic some attention.

Had the pleasure of meeting Ken once at Bray, very knowledgeable and friendly man, made stunning models. Rest in peace and may his family get some comfort and support.

Where else would you get customer service this efficient? Thanks.

With a few packs left for those of us who missed out, I hope?

Sounds like a great idea, only the run round loop is not actually part of the scenic section, well I mean a little bit of it is but the majority of it is not. When things get up and running I will try it though.

Thank you very much @Mayner I was expecting a little help but you went above and beyond, making an actual diagram for me. Hats off to you sir. Am I right in saying I need 2 ground signals 2full sized signals ( I like them better...) on the board in the picture above? Many thanks again MV

Monthly progress Report! Track laying has somewhat commenced, many thanks to @LNERW1 for the cork. What a difference it makes! track is not stuck down yet as I'm currently in the process of designing the point levers and changing mechanism for the signal box set up that will operate them (all going well!) Speaking of Signals, could people possibly help me figure out what semaphores are needed on the layout? I plan on using SSM signals (after i practice my soldering) but am not sure whether or not its possible to make them operational. I have attached an edited photo of the track noting what's what. All help is very much appreciated. Also doubt anyone noticed but i removed the tiny runround and have opted to say its "down the line" a.k.a in the fiddle yard.

Now you see, I tried to make a turntable but didn't get any further than a Lego mechanism and a scraggly wooden base!

How have I not seen this layout yet? Simply stunning from top to bottom. Fair play to you Alan.

I think Ill start with the Telephone box....... Shall I get the candles then?

Any ideas as to whether or not the pair will appear on the limerick Ballybrophy line again in the future?

HOW did I miss this!? My only complaint is that I cant see it in Person!

It'll all depend on when the layout is set, anytime up until the 90s then most trams will be a bit out of place, I'd think although I'm usually wrong about these things

Might purchase that Wickham inspection car myself as my soldering could be improved.

Best of luck lad, good to see someone else was inspired by the Wexford show.

Hold on to your sandwiches!

This thread has gone for the birds.....

Well now, was In Wales recently for a bit of volunteering on a narrow gauge railway ( different laws regarding ages of volunteers over-there), and talked to dozens of people over there, who invariably asked "where in Ireland are you from?" When I replied "Laois", They simply looked at me like I was speaking As Gaeilge and replied "Ive been to Galway........." Fair enough its a different country but you'd think at least one would have heard of it.

Hold on, these are 4 wheeled coaches

While waiting for Hattons Coaches to eventually arrive, I've picked up a pair of old ratio kits, which at £5 a pop when I bought them, will look just fine once sprayed green. I highly doubt they're in anyway prototypicalish to Irish stock though. ( I can't believe it.... I kinda answered a question instead of asking it!)
