    It’s not the first and it won’t be the last. Some time ago Wyre Forest and more recently Leamington & Warwick have thrown in the towel because they couldn’t stage a show at the right price. Both were good shows and still missed. On the other hand there are plenty of good shows around, eg Cheltenham, Wells and Ross-on-Wye, the latter put together by the local Rotarians, not a railway modeller amongst the but a first rate show nonetheless. The point about volunteer run events is well made, never enough people coming forward to help. Stephen

    It would appear to be not just the UK government that is to blame for the decision to throw in the towel. A sad day indeed. Stephen

    We had to give Bayley renal medication by syringe every day and he played his part by co-operating and making it so easy for us to help him. No other one of our 12+ cats has been so good like that. Enough about our love for our feline friends, let’s get back to Irish railway modelling. Never before has there been so much support for such a small market. Long may it continue. Stephen

    Thanks for your thoughts on reducing the role of kidney failure in feline deaths, very interesting. We did something similar for our Bayley and managed to keep him alive and comfortable for a good few years. He was a lovely boy and we still miss him. His passing left a big hole in our lives.

    I take my hat off to you, sir, for your services to the felines of the Canaries. We had three Bengals, Lily will be 16 later this year, Bayley was 13 when we lost him to kidney failure two years ago, while Lucas will be 12 later this year. Stephen

    I like the cats. Are they orientals/foreigns? Stephen

    I spent my working life dealing with river and sea flooding. The sandbags may only give limited relief but it will allow time to lift vulnerable equipment out of the way of the flood water. Make sure you know what is irreplaceable and what is not. Stephen

    The old route is clear apart from the building in the centre of the photo. They can always be a problem. Stephen Stephen

    Had a wonderful day at the Warley show yesterday, purchased a much sought after copy of IRRS Journal from Leslie, viewed the new IRM products and spent a long time at Ballyconnell Road, truly a wonderful model railway. All it needs is GNR(I) railcar set to complete the scene, and maybe a CIE one as well. Stephen

    I’ve never tried one myself but I have read elsewhere that they can drive you mad. Brilliant job. Stephen

    The brake gear under the Palvans was different to that on the Bulleid underframes. Stephen

    C/201 class in its many guises and liveries. Stephen

    Wasn’t the third class 80 set used on the reintroduced Dublin-Maynooth service? Stephen

    Or what about Waterford North with five routes and eight platforms. Stephen

    Can only agree with the comments immediately above. Stephen

    One of many excellent histories of the railways Ireland. Thoroughly recommended as a read. Stephen

    When she had her overhaul at Tuam, she received a new boiler courtesy of the SVR. Stephen

    To anyone involved in the early of getting a heritage railway off the ground, these photos evoke powerful memories. Lovely to see. Stephen

    A lovely video. There’s an interesting reference to the role of the Stormont government in the closure programme of the 1950’s. It wasn’t interested in anything outside of the six counties, very inward looking. I’m not sure if that view has changed in some parts of unionism. Apologies if I have strayed into a no-go area but it was part of the video. Stephen

    Sold out. Stephen
