    I suppose the line is being made ready for conversion to another Greenway?

    Llanuwchllyn makes its Exhibition debut at Bala Model Railway Show, North Wales.

    Just be aware also that card structures should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight as they can fade over time. I keep the blinds down when the sun is shining into my model railway room. Many of my buildings on Ballybeg are of card construction and still look good after 10 years!

    Metcalfe building cards are fine (I used them in 2mm for my Llangollen layout) but if you want relief then the Wills sheets look good in 4mm (I have used them on my 2mm Llanuwchllyn layout). Wills are thick plastic sheets which are more difficult to cut then Metcalfe which can be cut with a scissors.

    Nice job Eoin.

    The MM 141/181s were also DCC-ready and had a space for a speaker. What about the Lima 201s - they were a breakthrough as the first RTR Irish loco before MM?

    GNRi1959: Llanuwchllyn in N is booked to appear at the Ulster MRC Exhibition in Belfast on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th August 2018.

    Currently getting Llanuwchllyn in N ready for its Exhibition Debut at Bala Model Railway Exhibition in North Wales at end of May:

    Shear volume of production? (the UK-outline market is several times greater than that for Irish-outline I would imagine)
  10. Irishrailwayman
    Any plans to show all your hard work at Exhibitions?

    I think the main thing is to avoid "daylight" between each coach to give the impression of a train rather than a string of coaches...

    Why not aim to bring it down to the Wexford Easter Exhibition 2019 and show it as a work-in-progress?

    Recently I have developed a 2 foot "tuning fork" fiddle-yard for this layout to better enable shunting and to bring passenger rail-cars and auto-coach on and off scene. The top of the fiddle-yard may be removed for operations from the front or replaced for exhibition operation from behind the layout:

    For anyone who missed the Exhibition, a few photos and a big thanks to the exhibitors, traders, WMRC volunteers and all our 637 visitors for making this the most successful exhibition here to date!

    'pun my word, we are treading on egg-shells here.
  17. Irishrailwayman
    What kind of yolk will they come up with? Will we have to shell out a lot to pay for them?
  18. Irishrailwayman
    Looking forward to seeing these in the flesh at the Wexford Model Railway Exhibition!

    Richard at marsh.lane@outlook.com does a magnetic shunter's pole (for 4 mm or 7 mm) costing £14 with payment by Paypal. These work well on Dapol O gauge couplings which can be purchased separately and the third link of any wagon can be changed to work with the magnet. You can see these here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/50279-o-gauge-auto-couplings/page-13

    Modern era? This is now vintage gold!
  21. Irishrailwayman
    Was it not January 1982?
  22. Irishrailwayman
    A lovely video to get you in the mood for the upcoming Wexford Model Railway Easter Exhibition!

    HE do OO and N gauge reed switches and magnets. I have used the N gauge versions on my Cynwyd and Llanuwchllyn layouts controlling automated operation.
  24. Irishrailwayman
    No worries, I have had complaints about choosing prototypes with difficult to pronounce names! Including Cynwyd I have modelled three stations on the Llangollen (Ruabon to Barmouth) line. There are other stations worthy of modelling but I am running out of storage. Looking forward to the Wexford Exhibition which won't be long now!
  25. Irishrailwayman
    FYI Heathcote Electronics supply much smaller magnets which should suffice to trigger the reed switch.
