Wexford, Ireland

I returned railway modelling in 2002 by joining the Wexford MRC. I have made a large collection of Irish rolling stock eventually developing "Ballybeg" an Irish outline home/exhibition layout in OO. This has been exhibited at 11 exhibitions since 2009 winning Best Scenic and Best in Show prizes in Wexford. I next developed "Llangollen" in N gauge a UK outline "restored" railway based on the prototype in NE Wales which has been shown 11 times (including twice at Bala, N Wales) winning a Best Scenic Award in Wexford. "Shunters Yard" is a OO GWR compact layout and has been shown 6 times. "Cynwyd" in N is based on another Llangollen line prototype station. It has been shown 5 times winning prizes Best N Gauge in Wexford and Best Layout Scenery at SDMRC. "Llanuwchllyn" in N (another Llangollen line prototype station) which made its exhibition debut at Bala, Wales in 2018 and has been shown 4 times. I have developed a compact OO gauge layout "Diesel Depot" which can show Irish or BR outline locomotives. This has been shown 7 times and won Best Layout at Enniskillen. "Buffers Lock" is a GWR ouline layout in O gauge that has won awards twice and has been shown at 3 exhibitions.
