Plan is to have a through station bottom left up high on the mainline. Full length rakes can stop with the rearmost carriages still in the tunnel I might also devise a 2700 shuttle service to the docks Open to suggestions at the moment.... One thought is to change the light green incline for a helix...

Looking great!

Oh, and I added a small branch off the reverse loop, with a little dock I love the look of the scale scenes dockside, so two little 4 foot sidings here will let fuel oil arrive by boat Also, on the left, the cement terminal lines, will be about 1 inch lower than the running lines and through station behind, to create more of a scenic break...

The latest 'tweaks' Most notable are - freight and carriage sidings are swapped about - the mainline now passes through the wall and will be carried on a stout 2x6 over the stairwell - On the right hand side, there is an incline, taking a single line branch under the terminus boards where I will hopefully fit 6 15 foot storage roads - Also on the right, is a return loop, allowing trains to loop around and re-enter the terminus engine first if needed Am a bit out of ideas on the bottom left, so ignore the grey track there

Looking good!!

Have added Glenderg's excellent post to the articles section http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/323-Travelling-Post-Office

They didn't hang about?! Anyone get one?

send to admin @ irishrailwaymodeller.com if possible?

Great idea!

Yep, the sidings are mainly wooden sleepers, outside the terminus, and the freight sidings will be almost entirely buried in concrete

Absolutely cracking for 9 quid!! Lovely clean build too

Hi Snapper - that link is not playing ball with me, any chance you could send me a hi-res for the site?

I know What are up at the best versions I could find / have. I have a few higher resolution ones I am working on getting from members - and have added an appeal if anyone else has some! The higher resolution the better!

Right! The summers over, the holidays done, the kids back at school and SWMBO likewise! Work can re-commence on Amiens Street! Not much has changed over the summer, other than the stock was cleared off the layout and a bit of a tidy was done. I'm hoping to clear the shed, so I can clear the rest of the attic in the coming week-10 days. This will let me remove the stock boxes to the storage end of the attic and allow me to commence building the rest of the mainline loop and branches. There have been a few trackplan tweaks over the summer, which I'll draw up and post shortly, I'm also contemplating swapping the original freight sidings and the coach sidings around. The freight sidings are between 6-6.5ft long, which is ample for most trains (happily take 6mkIIIs and maybe an EGV) but tight for freight (10 pocket wagons = no no). By swapping around I get three sidings that can near enough take full rakes, that have access to all platforms, and three 9.5 foot long freight sidings that wont give out about taking 10 container flats, pocket wagons, or whatever. The only trade off is that the pilot would need to shunt all freight rakes into platform 6 and be released by the loco taking the freight.... not entirely sure how prototypical that is Will post pics later today of what the carriage sheds look like alongside the SHED!

Wow - just beautiful stuff!

Lovely job lads - looks great and lovely to see the stock range all laid out to peruse!!

Love it!

Well spotted Anthony! Bloody hell they look good for lookie-likies!

Beautiful - love the Hunslet!

Great video - aye the A's are quite wide!
