The Derry Road

JHB171achill and Old Blarney IMHO are spot on. My first train set was a 3car blue pullman set which I still have and works, it too came from Santa when I was eight, at the age of 16 my interest in Irish railways grew and I butchered and ruined some items in my attempt to make something Irish, then if you wanted Irish Railways you had to make them yourself. Thanks to the manufacturing of RTR items and kits, making it a bit easier now. TDR

Ray1964,try Howe's of Oxford. I used railmatch sleeper grime on my own layout. TDR

Great selection of clips, Kieran=D, superb running:trains:, mouth watering demonstration of eras and stock:tumbsup:. Brilliant:-bd. TDR

Good luck and best wishes to Hattons on the relocation of their shop. I've always found them pleasant and fair to do business with in the past forty odd year's. TDR

Tom not wishing to steal you thread, but if anyone in the Derry/Londonderry area would be interested in starting a club they could pm myself with their contact details. TDR

New Irish Lines November 2015 has just dropped through the letter box looks to be a Good read with a coffee on my return from work tonight. TDR

Warley Exhibition 2015 Some pictures I took of the Warley exhibition 2015. I attended both days and was not disappointed, although Saturday was the busiest. Thanks to everyone whom made the effort and took time to talk and discuss any queries I had. I agree with Noel in that “Warren lane” was the layout to see. It continually kept your interest with the gantries lifting and laying continuously when trains weren’t passing, a great layout The home land was well represented by four layouts, Standfording GNRi in 7mm, O’Connell’s St Trams, Schull OOn30 and Valencia Harbour 4mm, all demonstrating different themes and aspects. Well done to one and all A great weekend, The Derry Road Thanks for looking in TDR

Broithe , thanks for the prompt reply and information, now the maiden city and Strabane are of one Council area, there maybe a stronger push/pull fight if funds/location can be obtained. I have already received a contact number a of club member and will be contacting them on my return home from Warley. TDR

Noel, another time maybe, looking forward to tomorrow for a second innings,TDR

I've noticed in the 2016 Hornby Dealer Directory, that includes clubs and Societies, there is a model railway club listed in Strabane, Co Tyrone Is anyone aware of their existence/contacts etc any information would be appreciated. TDR

Kieran, just checking in from Birmingham and love the movements of the DH loco on video, will sometime have to arrange a visit to Kirley junction if possible, attending Warley again tomorrow.TDR
