Went to the Uckfield show yesterday from Dublin to see the Iain Rice layouts with a bonus to see Northport Quay and meet David with a fellow SDMRC member
Clever solution for a refreshment while operating a layout in the second photo
The station reminds me of just outside Newcastle West heading for Castleisland.
In the old days, just as you got over the long drive to the top of the hill driving towards Castleisland the station was in the cutting to your right hand side.
The late Alec Phillips former member of the MRSI passed away in the 1980’s.
Back then Alec would you showed/explain to you on how to do the conversion but unfortunately it was never documented.
Alec’s pride & joy was his scratch built GNRi 4-4-0 accompanied him on his heavenly journey.
