    Which livery do you want (any idea what they are worth per set)?
  2. 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!).

    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.

    A true layout "on a plank"! Well done.

    Over the holidays I have been painting some ModelU3d figures for a new GWR autocoach featuring a Crimson Lake/gold lined livery:

    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.

    Don't forget your toothbrush...

    Lovely to see pictures of "Ballinagee". It features in Railway Modeller back in the 1980's too. John's layouts including "Rathmichael", "MacMine Junction" and "Scully's Dock" have all garnered awards and plaudits over the years. They are now being carefully conserved by Wexford MRC and will feature in the exhibition circuit each year in rotation.

    "Rathmichael" was on the exhibition circuit last year after some refurbishment. WMRC plan to do some work on "MacMine Junction" for next year's round of exhibitions. We are almost ready with a revamp of "Scully's Dock" and this will be shown at the Wexford Autumn Exhibition and at the South Dublin MRC Exhibition in October. All three layouts were made by John Walker.
  22. Irishrailwayman
    "Rails through Wexford" was duly launched! A pleasure to offer Jonathan, Barry and guests some Wexford hospitality. See you all at the Wexford Autumn Exhibition (8th October 2023) and the South Dublin MRC Exhibition (October Bank Holiday weekend).
  23. Irishrailwayman
    Great modelling. Are you planning to exhibit this layout?
  24. Irishrailwayman
    JHB - I will be at the library before 10:30 - what time do you expect to get to Wexford? Gerry
  25. Irishrailwayman
    Looking forward to welcoming the distinguished authors and guests to Wexford Library for the launch of "Rails through Wexford"! To coincide with the launch, Wexford MRC will have on display at their clubhouse two Award-winning OO layouts: "MacMine Junction" and "Rathmichael" (a typical South Wexford station layout).
