    A great day with over 900 visitors! A few photos from around the show:

    Once the position of the point motors is known, a 10mm hole is drilled for the actuating wire. Next the cross pieces can be glued in place using the hot-glue gun and all interfaces taped with glass-fibre tape which is then saturated with No-nonsense PVA. This results in a light but strong baseboard.

    Track planning ongoing to ascertain the position of point motors before fitting cross sections beneath the baseboard.

    Looking forward to representing Wexford Model Railway Club with "Diesel Depot" in IE mode with hopefully some visiting NIR locos:

    I got two packs at Blackrock and Mr B had only one more left at that point...

    When the track plan is finalised cross pieces will be hot glued in place and fibre-glass webbing hard glued in place at all joints.

    We selected the Heljan O Gauge Modern Depot kit to form the centrepiece for the layout. This was to enable us to plan out the track layout on the boards precisely. The kit goes together fairly well using poly liquid cement although lack of kit precision means that some gaps between sections will need to be masked with styrene strips. So, the project so far:

    I am helping a friend develop an O Gauge British Rail outline exhibition layout based in part on my recent OO Diesel Depot. We have started by developing three baseboards using the same techniques namely 6 mm Scandinavian birch plywood 100 mm lengths hot-glued to the underside of the baseboard. The end cheeks were formed from two sections of 6 m plywood stuck together with wood glue before using a pillar-drill to precisely mark the dowel points. Metal dowels were fitted to precisely line up the boards for quick assembly.

    Diesel Depot is remotely controlled by the Roco/Fleischmann Z21 DCC system via a tablet allowing the locos to be controlled on one half of the screen and the points/turnouts on the other. This means that the layout can be controlled from the front enabling better interaction with visitors at exhibitions!

    Wexford Model Railway Club are hosting their annual Open Day as part of the Fringe Events of the Wexford Festival Opera season. Railway modellers and families alike are welcome to view our clubrooms where the O Gauge "Little Siddington" is in preparation for the upcoming South Dublin Exhibition. A range of other layouts in a variety of scales will be on view also along with refreshments. There is no entry charge but donations are invited for club funds. New members always welcome.

    Your oil wagons look the biz there too!

    I used more than 20 Alphagraphix kits for my "Ballybeg" layout in OO. The wagon kits work well too in this scale.

    or Glenfarne (based on Alphagraphix kit?)...

    Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum is situated on Darling Street in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh just around the corner from the Cathedral Hall where Erne MRC hold their annual exhibition. The museum has been mentioned in posts on IRM previously but I thought I would share a few photos of some of the huge collection of material which is beautifully presented in this building. Well worth a visit if you are ever at the exhibition or in the area.

    Diesel Depot has won the Best New Layout Award and a Perpetual Shield for Wexford MRC on its first exhibition outing at Enniskillen! Thanks to Erne MRC for organising the exhibition and for their hospitality.
  23. Irishrailwayman
    Thanks for that David. We met briefly last year at Telford where I admired your lovely "Arigna" layout! Gerry
  24. Irishrailwayman
    Thanks Noel. One of our members is looking at replicating this design in O Gauge! Regards, Gerry
