    "Diesel Depot" in OO gauge got it's 8th Exhibition outing at the Erne MRC Exhibition in Enniskillen this weekend 21st September 2024. This time the layout was displayed in BR blue mode with added overhead lighting for the first time. I had hoped to show the new Accurascale Class 31 but it is still in transit on the high seas from China apparently!

    "Buffers Lock" featured at Gauge O Guild's Guildex 2024 exhibition at Stafford last weekend as reported elsewhere on the Forum. I'm including a few extra views here for the record.

    I was honoured to attend the annual Gauge O Guild's two day Guildex Exhibition last weekend with my "Buffers Lock" layout. Many thanks to all the MRSI lads for their support. A couple of views from around the hall:

    Fantastic layout very well done - I saw it at the Belfast Exhibition. Good candidate for showing at Gauge O Guild Exhibitions.

    A few photos from a very enjoyable exhibition last weekend. Well done to all at Ulster MRC and all exhibitors/traders! Some great modelling on display and a good time was had by all.

    Looking forward to attending with my OO "Diesel Depot" in BR Blue mode featuring DCC engine and countryside sounds!

    I am booked to show my "Diesel Depot" in BR Blue mode at the Enniskillen Exhibition on 21st September 2024 and I had hoped to have my Class 31 by then...

    Past-avenue on this forum is 3-D printing these and plans to be at the Bray Fair on the 18th August 2024...

    Which livery do you want (any idea what they are worth per set)?
  10. Irishrailwayman
    I assembled one as a static display in 2007 with the then novel DCC soundchip pioneered by Mr Soundguy and showed it at the SDMRC exhibition before the first batch of Murphy Models 141/181s were issued!

    No but Rathmichael, Past Avenue, Bog Road LC (OO and N versions), Midelton Goods, Treaty Junction, Ballygannon and many other will be there. I will be showing my Ballybeg layout:

    I'm no longer on the Committee but I think the Facebook page is kept up to date rather than the website. Looking forward to meeting everyone for a chat at "Ballybeg" (the layout was first exhibited in 2009 - this will be it's 12th public exhibition!).
  14. Irishrailwayman
    Sunday 5th and Monday 6th May 2024 11 am to 5 pm each day. Donations accepted at the door. I am booked to show "Ballybeg" in Supertrain liveries (Sunday) and IR liveries (Monday).

    We had a ball showing "Buffers Lock" at the Bangor, N.I. Exhibition in March 2024. Delighted to have been conferred with the Best Large Scale Layout Award.

    "Ballybeg" is booked for the Wexford Exhibition on 5th and 6th May 2024. It will be run in a "Modern Image" version featuring CIE "Supertrain" stock one day and Irish Rail "IR" rolling stock on the second day.

    I have "Ballybeg" down in the workroom to prepare it as a "modern image" version for the Wexford Exhibition in May 2024. I have (temporarily) substituted the "steam era" cattle-dock, goods shed, engine shed, water tower etc with a diesel shed (borrowed from my "Diesel Depot" layout!) as well as tower lights and a new CIE oil storage facility. I plan to show a selection of "Supertrain" liveried passenger and freight trains on the Sunday of the exhibition and to show "IR" liveried trains on the Monday. I have fitted DCC controlled rural scenic sound modules also which give background birdsong, church bells, cows, sheep etc to set the scene.
  18. Irishrailwayman
    A true layout "on a plank"! Well done.
  19. Irishrailwayman
    Over the holidays I have been painting some ModelU3d figures for a new GWR autocoach featuring a Crimson Lake/gold lined livery:
  20. Irishrailwayman
    Well done Paul and Team - a great model railway exhibition!

    Thanks to everyone who came along to the Wexford Autumn Exhibition - we were very pleased with the turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. See you again in Wexford for the Spring Exhibition 2024 on Sunday 5th May and Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2024! Wexford MRC will be at the South Dublin Exhibition 2023 with newly refurbished "Scully's Dock" featuring early CIE Diesel trains among other liveries.

    "Llangollen" in N gauge had it's 11th public exhibition at the Bala (Wales) Model Show on 16/17th September 2023:

    Not long to the Wexford Autumn Exhibition. OO "Diesel Depot" will feature this time in British Rail Blue mode:

    Extruded polystyrene (XPS-100 or 300) works well and can be carved with a knife or hot-wire cutter. Wexford MRC used it for their O gauge "Little Siddington" with wall plaster as a top coat. This is very tough and ideal for the job being available from any DIY outlet.
