Leslie I think we all knew this day might come - your contribution to the Irish model railway scene has been immeasurable and like so many others, I have benefitted greatly from your incredible work, and I have enjoyed our in-person chats at exhibitions as well as your witty emails and private messages!! Hoping to stock up before you throw out the fire for the final time and may your retirement from company service be as long, as active and as varied as Slieve Gullion's has been!!

Great ideas and impressive research, love the historical photos! Looking forward to watching the progress!!

Model of the year, and it's only January 6th........ I say this every time Alan but this definitely is your best yet, without question! The distinctive lines of the prototype have been captured to absolute perfection!

Great video - hopefully we can get a run on this line when it opens!

Did I just read something there about maroon & blue coaches.......... And you picked up another award this very day, from Sam's Trains! Well done folks - happy 2025!

Lovely stuff David!

Imagine getting a train - steam of course - from Dublin to Enniskillen...... Nice

Lovely work as always! Nice livery choice too

Mine is definitely faded tippex livery.... Happy Christmas everyone!

Happy Christmas everyone - I had hoped to have something brand new to show off by now but life, work and family very inconveniently got in the way. Hopefully it's not too far away now though. In the meantime, here's the Brookhall Mill Christmas video from a few years back. Thanks for all the great content here, as well as the lively and informative debates and the constant encouragement and inspiration. And thanks for putting up with my insane stories and cringeworthy puns. Thanks to admins too for keeping us all in check. Looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings - personally I will be CHUFFED if a certain thing is announced....... Hope to see loads of photos tomorrow of all the goodies you all found under your trees!! 1882069754_MerryChristmas.mp4.1a85a0eeea88760c9d967fffabf17bc5.mp4

Lots of liveries for that one! Still drooling over the Hunslets here..........

Insane!!!!! Cannot wait for mine - well done IRM

What a brute!!! Magnificent work once again Darius.

Such an excellent space with amazing potential - fingers crossed it will see trains running in the near future.

Another masterpiece in the making Alan! Hopefully she will make a visit to Brookhall Mill in the near future!

Lovely!! Shaping up well - love the deep cutting to the left.

I'll send him a Facebook message Leslie!

Superb!

Nope. Definitely not. No time and definitely no space either.

Looking good! Hope the ankle has fully healed!

Brilliant!!!!!

Alan will the brake shoes be blue suede?

You're all wrong. It's a Ballymena & Larne iron ore wagon. The first in a new line (ha!) of narrow gauge items.

Offaly funny that! Time to dispense with the coffee puns - Alan to echo what @Galteemore said above, The Stone Yard is quite a masterpiece in....well.......everything!!!
