I did, thanks @jhb171achill!

Love a good Wagonmaster! Which BnM line did you get it from? Will be sure to watch. Hopefully heritage railways get featured more on Irish TV, I would say it’d be really helpful and get your name out there. I’d have to ask the lads at Stradbally whether getting on Nationwide helped, but again I’d say it’d help a bit. Best of luck lads.

Im already inspired- just not skilled enough lol.

Saw the grass down on The 21mm thread- it looks lovely, far better than I could do of course, but a man can dream... You work very fast!

I love the elevation differences between all the buildings- I find I’m often more immersed in layouts with different levels. Not that I’d ever take my own advice lol. Edit: love the profile pic too.

I should qualify that by pointing out the chassis is a lot further off than the body. Ok, one more thing- Bachmann Thomas and Friends Salty with a cut down cab. The dimensions of the bonnet either side of the cab seem close enough. Has an even more inaccurate chassis, unfortunately.

Protect this man at all costs- he knew something JHB didn’t, he is clearly a genius beyond our comprehension!

For the less detail-oriented a modified BR class 07 might suffice?

In fairness you used @Mayner’s post as an example of the apologist mentality or whatever you want to call it so I would say he has every right to feel attacked. In reference to “hang them flog them etc.”, a previous incident of arson at a Scottish line prompted some distastefully violent expressions of anger from people on this forum: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/16141-flogging-is-too-good-for-them-/. Maybe it’s just me but the scenarios are a little too similar and point to a culture of nurturing young boys to become violent, misogynist, homophobic, racist young men. This is happening more and more around the world and is a problem far beyond railway modellers arguing on the internet. Stop being a keyboard warrior and find something proactive to do. I presume you are a responsible adult with the capacity to help out people younger than you. Best wishes, LNERW1 NB: I will make no further posts on this topic. I strongly disagree with the opinions you are voicing here and I am distancing myself from this unpleasant spat

“Unofficial”, I want to see the official one.

Everything happens for a reason. If you’re raised to respect authority, hard work and honesty, you will more than likely grow up to be a well-behaved, hardworking and honest person. If you’re brought up without being taught those lessons, then you won’t see anything wrong with destroying something for the fun of it. Some old train probably doesn’t matter to the person who did this. I’m not yet 16 but being a teenager is difficult. There’s all sorts of stuff to navigate and if you haven’t been taught these things about how to behave and how to be respectful, etc. then, again, the thought process is probably “what’s wrong with breaking into that carriage, it’s not yours, it doesn’t affect you, it’d be good craic, the lads will call you a pussy if you don’t do it, sure it’s only a heritage railway they don’t have proper fences, it’s dead easy to get in”, etc. etc. etc. Don’t underestimate how upbringing affects behaviour. The environment in which you develop and in which you live has everything to do with how you behave.

Beautiful. Is it a tail chaser, roundy roundy, whatever you want to call it or is it end-to-end?

I took and posted the photo on a Samsung phone, running on Android. It just showed up as a file when I inserted it. I usually just insert photos or videos straight into the post, not as files. I can take another photo and edit the post to insert it? I’m back on my iPhone now. Edit: still shows up as just a HEIC file. (screenshot)

20241101_231855.heic An unfortunate lack of activity on any current modules (Don't worry, there'll be some eventually). I say any but currently; there is actually only one, BUT I am working to right that wrong and am currently planning the only other board that will have points- above is the current plan for said module. As I said a while ago regarding modules, there will be a large shed area, which this is. There is some track missing but that will be added in due time. The track furthest left is the running line. The three spurs at the top of the picture are as follows: Left(incomplete)=coal siding Centre= shed road Right(incomplete)=shed road The line past the bottom turnout is a headhunt. The bogie sitting between the running line and sidings represents a joint with insulated sleepers. The four points used here are all I have at the moment, but if anyone thinks they may have a better track plan using the space and points available, feel free to suggest it. However, please do keep in mind if you do that there are a few limitations: I only have one controller I can use for this I'm not super confident with wiring, but I can make isolating sections. However, I already have to make one so it'd be nice to only have to do one. Of course you don't have to suggest anything but I'm not as confident in my layout planning ability as I am in the ability of some people on here. Regards, LNERW1

I’m going to cut this off because I don’t like starting arguments. Thanks. also I’m not saying rtr stuff is shite but I’d prefer to support a dedicated modeller than a company as large as IRM/accurascale. That’s all, thank you, please don’t make this a big spat, thank you.
