DJ Models posted the following in rmweb http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/103982-irish-railway-models-new-rtr-oo-gauge-ballastmineral-hopper/page-2. It looks like the parting of the ways was amicable. We have to hope that IRM can pick up where DJM left off. Stephen

Richard Chown has written several times in the model railway press about the development of Castle Rackrent into a much bigger scheme of things. The one I particularly remember was the Castle Rackrent, Moygraney and Pacific in the Railway Modeller. I still have a read every now and again. Stephen

The second Lissadell looks quite delightful - I guess you had to give her back. Stephen
-
Did a drawing of the 6w heating van materialise? Stephen
-
The more observant of us will have noticed a brake van at each end of the train - unusual when you are conditioned to the modern scene with fully fitted freights. Stephen
-
To me, the highlight was the G scale Hambledon Valley Railway - not very often you come across a live steam layout indoors - quite delightful, not least because the couplings were playing up and it needed a bit of audience participation. Stephen
-
Patrick Another delightful scene - the H vans really look the part. Stephen
-
Leslie Any chance that you will be bringing along some of your kits for sale. I will be coming on the Sunday and I would be particularly interested in the Bulleid open wagon and the H van. Many thanks. Stephen

Limerick-Ballybrophy under review
StevieB replied to Garfield's topic in What's happening on the network?
Tis the same the world over. It's so much easier to justify spending vast sums of money of road infrastructure rather than on the railway equivalent. Stephen -
Nice to see some more photos of this very realistic representation of the Cork to Waterford line, albeit not the one actually built. Stephen
-
It will be no different in the UK and the rest of Europe. It has all to do with taking a risk based approach to the way the business is run. I agree with all the comments made, but the law is the law. Stephen
-
Other factors favouring freight to and from Ballina must include such as the lack of motorways in that part of the country and the sheer length of the journeys involved. Stephen
-
A joy to behold - oh that such models were readily available RTR, they'd sell like hot cakes. Stephen
-
Hi If you google Ballyconnell Road model railway and then select 'images', you will see it in all its glory and detail - it is a beautiful piece of work, locos, rolling stock and scenery - there's even a working road. Stephen

They look the DB's. All credit to the team, including DJ Models ofcourse. Stephen
-
A very concise explanation of the way that level crossings were signalled in Ireland. Stephen

First there was Peco announcing a new range of bullhead track, somewhat closer to scale than the existing flat bottom track, and then there's Legacy Models doing something very similar. It's a great pity that American 00 was not adopted more widely, 19mm gauge no less! Stephen
-
Whilst on the subject of the Inchicore pilot loco, which one is undertaking this task at present? Stephen
-
These are just brilliant https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqUhJsrdk4XThg8kGENaufA Stephen

Patrick Have you ever been approached about getting your layout in print in either British or American model railway magazines? I think it would go down a storm. Stephen
-
John Thanks for that. Parkside Dundas do kits for both the RCH and Morton fitted brake underframes, so I'm in luck. Incidentally, the Parkside Dundas kit for the BR Palvan has the Morton underframe - more changes needed. Stephen
-
It's probably been asked before but did the GNRI vans have RCH or Morton brakes? The difference between the two is subtle but it's important to put the right underframe under the Dapol banana van in order to produce the GNRI van. Many thanks. Stephen

1970s short beet train. Stephen

Dunno wot happened there, maybe I was thinking about the UK referendum result.
