    More progress on Little Siddington in preparation for the Exhibition at Easter 2019 in Wexford. Plans are in place also to exhibit at the Ulster MRC Exhibition at end-August 2019. Note that the electrical connections are being simplified for transport by putting panel plugs/sockets on each board to be connected by flying cables during set-up! The work on the fiddle-yard has since been completed also and a second bridge and signals are in preparation off-site. So, a photographic tour up and down the line:

    Architectural modelling at it's best!

    Might be rust marks from rainfall?

    See https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/141585-british-model-railway-awards-2018-the-winners/page-1 Well done to Accurascale who won 3rd place in OO/4 mm wagon category with honourable mention for the Tara wagons. Dapol did well with their Pannier Tanks winning the O gauge categories.

    Love the backscene - is that Glen of the Downs? Great lights on that train too!

    Feel free to make an announcement at the Wexford Easter Exhibition!

    One of three bars on Ballybeg with a bit of a hooley going on and a couple of other line-side views:

    Ballybeg was influenced by Brian McCann's layout Ballyowen and work by John Walker including Ballinagee, Ballinagee Junction, Macmine Junction and Rathmichael. I made use of Alphagraphix card kits (more than 19) on the layout including both town and railway buildings. Other Irish touches include the use of stone arch bridges, footbridge from Hornby (which matches those used in Ireland), bi-lingual signs, P&T old-style telephone boxes, signals based on Irish prototypes etc.

    The Irish MK3 Resturant carriages were different in roof detail and window spacing. The models shown here used Lima donor coaches with MIR brass overlays to give the correct windows.

    Work is continuing on Little Siddington including finalising the platforms, adding four long head-shunts onto the fiddle-yard and test runs on a weekly basis:
  15. Irishrailwayman
    All done and best of luck!

    Diesel Depot is now equipped with a Re-fuelling Point and Oil Storage Tanks:

    Happy Christmas and great railway modelling and Exhibitions in 2019 to all!
  18. Irishrailwayman
    Many happy returns (better fix that roof quick, the snow is getting in)!

    The Diesel Depot workshop is taking shape with lighting up and running including in the yard tower lamps.

    Better be a good boy until then!

    The brickies have used engineers blue bricks to break up the row of arches and the workshop doors have a new paint job. The newness of the bricks has been toned down with a black wash:

    The old brick steam shed has been demolished and a new concrete/steel/glass Diesel Engine Shed is being erected in its place:

    One feature of the original Fry display was that every railway livery that ran in Ireland was shown. Will this be the case with the new set-up I wonder? This is particularly the case given the lack of a National Transport Museum in ROI.

    Tara's

    Irishrailwayman replied to Jim's topic in Irish Models

    Code 75 track looks more like 21mm than Code 100 as seen on Wexford MRCs multi-gauge new test tracks!
  25. Irishrailwayman
    Presumably the older O gauge exhibits will be in glass cases? What rolling stock will be run in OO I wonder?
