  1. Magic JB - the last one is superb!
  2. Very kind thanks David All track laid The boards to the left are the short ‘fiddle yard’ extensions. Running line to the left and limestone siding to the right. A big shout out to Alan @Tullygrainey for dropping in to sort the copper sleepers for the baseboard joints Busy work weekend ahead, then next week it will be painting and wiring of the track to look forward to!
  3. Tracklaying today. This O-16.5 track seems to be easier to work with than OO gauge, even though they are essentially the same!
  4. And we’re off!! Baseboard heaven…….
  5. Looking forward to seeing the layout develop Darius.
  6. Just admiring this magnificent building again Alan. I definitely think it’s my favourite one of your many wonderful creations, probably because I know the prototype building so well. And bearing in mind your comment about the signalman’s tie, I can safely say this one Trumps all other signal cabin builds.
  7. Totally amazed by the steps Alan!
  8. Really looks the part Alan!! Does the signalman have a name? He looks a bit distant…….
  9. I have visited Kells station in Co. Kerry many times - in fact I have visited all 3 Irish stations named 'Kells', but I digress...... This one was on the long branch from Farranfore to Valentia Harbour, which closed back in 1960. The station had up and down platforms, a classic (for the branch) corrugated iron-clad station building, as well as a stationmaster's house - it does not seem to have had a goods shed. The site is owned by Kerry County Council I believe and each time I have called, the station building has been locked. Not so tonight - a council employee was on business at the station and he kindly let me into the building and I was amazed to see how many original features remain.
  10. Looks first class!
  11. Delighted to at last meet this absolute icon of the Irish narrow gauge! Lispole Viaduct, on the famous Tralee & Dingle Railway in Co. Kerry. More T&DR explorations tomorrow.
