Hey all, I am in my mid forties and have a dream to build the line between Cork and Crosshaven. I grew up in Blackrock and have played in that area all my childhood days and now I have a dream (mid life crisis) to bring it back to life... I have done quiet a bit of research on the line but i can take all the help i can get from scaling to layout to acquiring the right stock and so fort .. So thank you for reading this and feel free to advise ....I really am a complete novice I mean complete novice ..... Regards Finbarr
