Link: http://taraspalace.ie/ It does well enough to generate €40,000 in profits to donate to Charity each year. Powerscourt is a good choice too, as is stuffed to the gills with tourists all season long.

The Tara's palace doll museum (which co-habited in Malahide with the Fry) seems to be happily set up in Powerscourt House in Enniskerry these last good few months, looks well there too.

Many thanks indeed Frank - will put some tips to use and see how I get on!!

It sounds like it's dead. The online group dies away and was taken over by spammers, and nothing has been heard from those involved since.
-
Still a good looking model even by his new standard!
-
Sound Course that means I'll have to actually clean it up a bit now!!!
-
Can you give us some basic pointers Frank, on how best to photo layouts, models? It would make a great resources for all of us who's know-how is point a phone and press the button
-
Cheers Dave - still trying to figure the best way to get photos of it!
-
Working on the freight lines. The distant last 4 feet will be concreted.
-
I had to double check to make sure this wasn't the real thing!!! Absolutely gobsmacking!
-
Cheers lads, I reckon a low relief back of terrace with a brick and maybe sound barrier walling to the rear, and then taller industrial / warehouse type low relief with pallisade security fences... At the bottom, I plan to create a 15 foot concrete wall, with vehicle gates across the back, for truck access to the yard.... More progress next week hopefully!

Just brilliant - looks very 'irish' -

Stunning ! What's the construction method? -
This back wall as seen here basically:"
-
Any suggestions for back of the rearmost sidings? The shortlist at the moment is: - Very low relief back of terraces with either tall concrete wall in front, or blue sound proof screening fence type thing - Very low relief industrial / warehouse type buildings - A mix of both above - Just a big tall wall! Or could do a 11 foot type wall, with some trees and stuff visible behind?

I saw a great tutorial I'm going to try on the next stretch. It basically involved painting PVA onto the shoulder, then applying the ballast. This lets the ballast stick to the trackbed and stops it rolling off or piling up (as can clearly be seen on my first photo above) A little more time, but probably worth a go. I need to invest in a hand held dustbuster thing too, to help recover the unstuck ballast
-
Forgive the first shot - it's a bit out of focus, this is one of the three yard roads, so I'm aiming for a ballast over the ties look.
-
Dry the Woodlands isn't as bad, but I'm stick going to use the Gaugemaster for the mainline and platform terminiii... Ballasting is almost as much fun as wiring

Some Ballasting Updates

Let us know how you get on Kirley!

Just found this http://www.scalescenes.com/products/R025-Water-Tower?PHPSESSID=1a152be57fe53873617daf341b31aba3 and noticed it looks enough like this http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20N/North%20Wall/slides/NorthWall_20090615_028_CC_JA.html to be bashed into shape for the yard
-
Oh, so wonwy!
-
Yea, dull it down and a good spray of muck and cement dust
-
In better light

Me neither I've decided on Gaugemaster ballast for the trackwork, it looks most like the wet, dark grey stuff I see on the tracks. I'll then use woodlands grey and brown for gravel (like the patch above between the tracks (which will later be filthied up, dead bushes, some brown grass, etc) and unused sidings, etc.
