Some of my photos from yesterdays show.

Hi, Here are a couple of pictures of Campbell Riverside being exhibited at the Midlands Model Railway exhibition in Portlaoise on 14th September. Was a very great and enjoyable day. Must give thanks to the lads at the Midlands Model Railway Club for giving me the chance to exhibit Campbell Riverside.

Hi all, had a great time exhibiting my Campbell Riverside layout at Portlaoise today. Was nice to meet you guys from the Midlands Club and also the guys from the other visiting clubs too. Look forward to meeting again. Regards John

Looking good, will have to get my airbrush out one day..

If loco has been re-sprayed, how can it be described as 'Mint'?

Looking good, very nice work.

Hi, hope this link works. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3323-Midlands-Model-Railway-Club-Exhibtion-14th-September-2014?highlight=midlands+exhibition

Hi Dave, at the moment Campbell Riverside is going to be at Portlaiose on 14th September and Enniskillen on 20th Sept. The cassettes were made from 3mm MDF for the base and 6mm MDF for the sides with Peco code 100 track. Regards

Will do, thanks.

Baseboard edges now tidied up, cassette fiddle yard now made, almost ready for exhibition now.

You may like to try this for your transfers, http://georgedentmodelmaker.blogspot.ie/2013/01/klear-ing-things-up.html The original is no longer available , but according to George Dent, the latest replacement is not too bad. It is ideal for brushing on and does not leave any brush marks. Hope this helps. Regards

Very nice pics there, Not been down to Ballina for a while myself, should really make the effort and get some pics myself, I'm about 40 mins drive from Ballina. The station layout looks like it could have potential for a terminus to fiddle yard layout, I think I have a track plan somewhere that was published in Railway Modeller a few years ago. Regards.

Looks like we have run out of Steam....

PM sent, Regards

After several months in storage I finally got the layout out from loft yesterday afternoon, made temporary connection with DCC controller and test run a loco, all worked fine, and the Seep point motors had not seized up either. So next job a bit of general cleaning ,and try and work on the back scene, and tidy up the baseboard edges. Should keep me busy for a while.

In my opinion, whichever party is in opposition always seem to have great idea's, but when and if they get voted into government then quite often back track [excuse the pun]. As mentioned earlier, its the same in UK politics or Irish. Also agree, Railways and most forms of public transport don't make a profit, but are there to provide a service. If the railways where shut down how would that help, with more traffic on the roads, Like Blu Bianco mentioned earlier about the N4/N50 in Dublin.

Hi Warbonnet, yes its is HO scale, loco's mainly Athern, Atlas and the F40 is a Walthers model.
