    Excellent - love this!

    A few views from around the station this evening, I am starting to get a sense of how it is going to look once the building has been fixed in position. The nameboard & boat feature will be sunk into the platform surface rather than sitting on top like it is at the moment. I have decided I don’t like the red brick platform walls, these will be replaced with dressed stone from Wills sheets - I’m still experimenting with painting these to get the desired effect.

    Alan you have all the stock you need now to recreate Ballynahinch station!

    Great to see these coming together so well Alan! Fair play to you for the patience required for this!

    Wooden benches have been fitted to the booking hall, they don’t look particularly comfortable though

    Interesting recollections thanks John @Mayner My earliest recollections of railway travels are from around 1975 when my primary school class went on a school trip to Dublin from Great Victoria Street then family trips to Butlins etc. I also remember the excitement around Central Station opening but I was only 6 so can’t recall the finer details.

    Booking hall interior detail added, just some seating to be built - too late on Sunday evening now though

    Couldn't resist! And another:

    More excellent advice, thanks, GM! Clogherhead is intended to be something of an anomaly though with a basic passenger service through the week, and the remnants of holiday traffic at weekends, and also excursions, so the idea will be that the station would be manned during the day, even during the week, (anything to justify the frequent appearances of those MM & IRM diesels ) The booking hall interior will be fully detailed, so that’s a great idea about putting posters in there, and yes I think I’ll take down some of the external enamel ones as well. Thanks

    Spot on David - I knew there was something I wasn’t quite happy with and that’s exactly it, those clumps shall be removed and repositioned to ground level once the building is permanently fixed. Thanks!

    I had an unexpected few hours free this evening, so I started adding details to the building, including period advertisements, vegetation and weathering, and I also ‘frosted’ the lower panes of some of the windows. I have some Irish travel posters which a friend is printing for me and I will hopefully add those tomorrow. I’m thinking the derelict end of the building might have been over done a bit…..

    The Hatton's Genesis B&T van looks awesome!

    Getting back on topic before this thread descends further into the sewer….. The toilet block is now finished, and I’ve added a small bit of weathering. I’m not going to bother decorating the outside rear wall as there will hopefully be a small shed there and some vegetation. The toilet block is based on one which I saw in a photograph of Aldergrove station. It’s good to be approaching the end of this build, just the booking hall interior and platform canopy to go, along with some more general weathering and small details eg. posters, advertisements etc.

    Was actually there last June!!! That’s gone over my head……!

    Relief for Mr. Weaver
  16. Patrick Davey
    I suppose the collective name for a group of toilet puns would be a ‘chain’
  17. Patrick Davey
    Yes he prefers sitting so he can check all the toilet puns on the IRM forum

    Superb!

    Today’s work is more a matter of convenience. Mr. Weaver is dying to spend a penny so he hopes the builders get finished before things get awkward. Amiens Street have just released funding which can be used to improve toilet facilities on station platforms. I suppose it could be called a flush fund….

    Forecourt canopy this morning.
  22. Patrick Davey
    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!
  24. Patrick Davey
    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!
  25. Patrick Davey
