    Have been working on the station nameboard today, complete with a suitable ‘nautical’ accessory! Also been working on the forecourt side canopy above the entrance door.

    All this Accurascale stuff seriously tempts me into British blue!

    Looking very impressive GL and on a grand scale too!!! Will there be an era as such or will you be covering all bases? Am enjoying the updates!

    Lovely stuff - always enjoy your updates!

    Ernie - am leaning towards Irvinestown rather than Kesh for that photo above - I was at Irvinestown earlier this year and the layout fits, with the steps up to the loading bank and the siding between it and the platform where the photographer is standing I think?

    Fabulous!

    Work is busy at the moment, but here are some pics of recent work on my ‘Clogherhead’ station building. Platform elevation doors installed and I have added a bit of darker green to parts of the wooden glazed panel, to match the doors. I have also been working on another important item…….

    Just to make you jealous, I drove past Manorhamilton twice on Monday…..

    Superb - looking forward to this one. Although when I saw the title I got a bit excited - was hoping for a large attic room with a finescale O gauge layout depicting one of the GNR's jewels! Blue 440s, black 440s and 060s, mahogany (or was it teak?) carriages and a plethora of assorted goods stock. And of course the venerable SLNCR 064s with the railcar and railbus.......

    Loving the views of the Bundoran branch. Kesh seems to have been largely ignored by photographers for some reason. A friend of mine lives between Kesh and Pettigo and is adamant that the Danske bank in Kesh was the railway station - I haven't had the heart to correct him as yet......

    It was an excellent production - a few minor glitches but otherwise very nicely done, with a particular emphasis on the large number of children among the victims. A particularly poignant touch was the featuring of a character who was based on the statue (on The Mall) of a young girl holding a bucket and spade. Nicely done overall with many 'lump in the throat' moments. Well done to all concerned.

    Excellent interview here from Fran, with plenty of coverage of the IRM brand and mention also of the forthcoming Irish steam release: https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/news/interview-of-the-week-accurascale-part-1/

    At last I have the opportunity to attend the acclaimed dramatic production 'Impact' which tells the story of the Armagh railway disaster in 1889. I shall be there this Saturday evening - the production is taking place at the Market Place Theatre in, appropriately, Armagh. https://marketplacearmagh.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873637762 I shall of course provide a report afterwards! Looking forward to this very much.

    Lovely photos Ernie.

    Magnificent views Ernie!

    Yes I agree too - but more likely 171 in my opinion, as this could be a contribution to the loco's current overhaul. But I have been wrong before with IRM announcements, every single time!

    Fabulous views Ernie, continued thanks for the great work involved in bringing them to us.

    Clogherhead station building exterior almost complete: roof finished today, with barge boards and finials, also guttering and downpipes. Chimneys were also fixed in position and lead flashing installed, and the sliding doors in the platform side glazed panel were also returned to their location. Just the doors to add then a small canopy over the front door, and a larger one on the platform side. An enjoyable build!

    This is agonising..........

    The station building has progressed sufficiently to be tried in place on the layout. I am happy enough with the dimensions and overall appearance, although there is lots more detailing to be done before it is fixed permanently in place but very happy with this one!
  21. Patrick Davey
    Thanks Philip! I can’t claim any credit for the weathering on the roof tiles though because they’re all pre-printed! From Scale Model Scenery, worth checking out! That’s the basic structure of the building assembled with some internal walls added - it’s almost ready to place it on the layout to get an idea of how it will look. Plenty more details to go however.
  22. Patrick Davey
    Again the time passes quickly and suddenly it’s the wee small hours….. windows completed today on the station building with only the sash panes to be glazed. Wall assembly has also started and weathered tiles were added to the roof. This all means that the main shell of the building is nearing completion.
  23. Patrick Davey
    That’s a very kind thought thank you @Westcorkrailway
  24. Patrick Davey
    Very kind comments, thank you DJ! I checked every stand, it must’ve been snapped up or maybe I just missed it! Happy with the bus in the meantime! Great show all together

    Two of @leslie10646’s fantastic new cement vans looking right at home at Clogherhead, along with a CIÉ bus. Loved the show at Blackrock today - well done to all involved
