Ofcourse ill show the whole process

Forgot to send this is well Rough concept sketch of the layout Ain’t no Picasso with sketches but least the ideas actually can make some what sense

I’m also installing corkboard as an extra bit of silence too and realism when I basalt the tracks

Carpenter came and he told me MDF is the best to use as it won’t be going outside or near anything damp as it’s gonna be in my room MDF will be 18mm thick I was thinking too ahead when he first came but he finally got what I have in my head as I put it down, glad I did knowing myself I also explained what will be onto him as he first thought I was building platforms like the station but when he realised I was building just the shed, it cleared a good bit of confusion All in all, satisfied with the plan but I’m hoping the build it with him but been told it’s gonna be done when I’m in school I will be doing the wiring, scenery, track laying, etc; myself ofcourse

Thanks so much It came to me that with movements and extra weight of landscape and other extras that it would be prone to crack especially when there would be DCC wiring under the board for the tracks Exactly, Ill have a look and see if my grandad down my road has anything or my dad at his workplace

Is varnishing the boards a good idea before placing any track and landscape?

Thanks so much, Would ply be the best for wiring and strength?

Apologies for the long wait for an update as i was waiting for the carpender who i was hoping for a helping hand is what ive been told by my mam but no sign of him and go what i originally intended and do it myself Im going to get my laptop back from the repair shop this afternoon after school to do the full track layout of my room on Anyrails and will post the final results and concepts here Seeing how i am for money after getting my laptop back, i plan to go to marks and get my flexitrack, in the meantime, im going to sort my room and put stuff back on my desk and shelves (except the one i will build Connolly shed on) that were previously cleared for the carpender Also need to verify with my parents to know if they are planning anything else with my room in the meantime to have the green light to get building Speaking of building, Im also planning on getting MDF board from a woddies near me and my grandad down the road has tools i can use and i believe he also has excess wood that can come in handy, if i need any other tools, i can get some from my dads workplace when it comes to more finicky and eletronical

Also as u are one of many at downpatrick planning and placing new track, was there ever a plan to have the route expanded up north of the former line to crossgar?

Thanks so much

Brilliant, would downpatrick be open for visiting currently, if not do u know when?

Isnt there talks abt scrapping their railbus?

My main question is where is the space up at downpatrick for all their stuff there planning on moving from moyasta to Downpatrick It is tight enough as it is with their current stock And what abt the narrow gauge stock that’s down there too?

Yes it is, I forget the date they also make the old maintenance cranes, the 15t is in downpatrick and the 40t is scrapped dk when and where

Looked back she was on platform 2 Odd time especially with the chaos in Connolly when it was when it was bright, Docklands did take some of the ease off Connolly but wonder if IE expanded on docklands for it to accommodate the Longford and Mullingar trains to take more of the chaos out of Connolly?

Took this at north wall dk if there’s any connection?

Here’s the others IMG_3889.mov Thanks so much, I was able to read them at the time I was taking photos of the shed but forgot what it said

Caught this out iswell after the day out at the forty foot Rpsi weren’t doing anything so wonder why it was at platform 3, any ideas? its also the 3rd time I’ve spotted it running light engine Vid took a while to send but I’ll send the first time I saw it at Drumcondra and first at north wall doing a HOBS train IMG_5527.mov

Hi all Was out today whilst the train I was on was waiting on finding a free platform, I seized the opportunity to take pics of Connolly shed and this is what I got Note is well is the writing on the back of the shed in the 3rd photo up high, I’m wondering of anybody knows or has photos of it

Ive seen it quite a lot and u can also spot where the extension of a platform is with the brickwork dropping

I’d trust the times on this more than TFI live

Thanks darren I am after their flexitrack but ill be sure to check out their dropper wires

These are some of my references in working with i found online

Only thing i have in mind to learn is wiring the track to run DC and DCC rolling stock in case i buy locos that were fitted with DCC so i dont have to fiddle with them back to DC but thats soemthing to worry when i finally have the boards set where i plan them
