how much is the entry doods ? Gotta budget for a purchase or two..

Wow. What a job ! Inspiring !

LFC . that is all .

wowsers. Count me in. Any idea when abouts ? Looks like I'll have to dip into the 121 savings fund again...

Quick questionay ? When the IE plug socket logo came out , was there a while when IE and IR logo trains ran together or was the change quick ?

I love this. The detail is super and the ballast is great. Lots of little details but also a great feeling of space.

Some recent photos and a video of a mid 90s Bell Liner .

very high quality. looks rtr !

thank you for the excellent description . mighty work done indeed. i am hoping to put in a service yard area .

i love the concrete . i need an area like that . how is it done ?

A video I put together of some running on the Kingscourt branch. A standard two carriage train for passengers is pure fiction , in my world passenger services clung on to serve a commuter population.

hello there. the dcc concepts solenoid unit makes the electrics a lot easier. feeds straight off bus and the motors run through my NCE handset. less wires running all over the place.

The woolie is grand. I will be getting the rpsi coach set as i plan to have her run as a made-up preserved loco alongside the more modern shtuff.

very very useful thank you ! i have a home and a distant. I think I will put them in for now until i find another spot for them, then i ll get some SSM ones

thanks folks ! seems my purchase of a working distant is a wee bit overkill so... I hope to grab some SSM signals at some point when i am feeling nifty and nimble and confident to make em. At the mo I am even having bother with basic soldering for some reason!

Why not have things delivered straight to your house from the UK? Is there a law or something prohibiting this?

A large number of UK shops and suppliers won't ship to ROI or Southern Ireland !!!! As they often call it . why I don't know.

Hi friends,

Beannachtaí na féile Padraig oraibh go léir!

Quick question! I am sticking in a couple of signals. I am using the lower quadrant (GWR) type from dapol as I am told they resemble Irish signals.

Were small level crossings (single line small road - eg Kinscourt branch) protected with both distant and home signals?

So, not Irish, but a nice little cabin anyway. Passable to my eye to many an Irish cabin. £8.30 from Hattons. Could not resist.

That is a superb model conversion. How come the Irish version had rivets visible but Lms ones didn't ?

yes I have had great service from digitrains and wickness. Also have a look at these guys too, very good. http://www.coastaldcc.co.uk/products/nce/power-cab

As always, thank you JHB. Gold Mine.

signal cabin is a beaut. so well looked after.

does anyone know if Kingscourt ever had a Cattle Dock ? ... been tempted now to add a little more interest

thanks folks. one does try indeed. A few gypsum (ballast) wagons are going to look good trailing through there soon enough

. I was in London last week and got a chance to pop into ian Allen's shop. Picked up a copy of this excellent book of trackwork.

From a vantage point above on the road, some young fella captured a short cravens train led by 190, passing the crossing on the Kings court branch.
