Nice job there.

Nice job on ye olde P&T era vans.

Alphagraphix do a nice card kit of this style of engine shed...

Still, the WMRC lads have their club fleeces in the high viz Wexford colours!

A local Wexford TV report on the Exhibition: http://www.irishtv.ie/wexford-matters-74

Many congratulations on your purchase. Have many hours of fun playing with, working on and exhibiting your layout. Loads of excellent N-gauge models to tempt you with Graham-Farish among the best upgrading their stock all the time with detail, lights etc. e.g. The Brighton Belle was issued in BR blue/grey...

Thanks George and to everyone who attended. We had a reasonable turnout given the weekend's competing celebrations and were very pleased with the interest shown by all in the layouts. Great to meet folks from IRM.com for a chat. Gerry

The first photo above has a locked symbol? Glad you enjoyed the show.

There is what looks like a 6-wheel clerestory coach grounded on farmland a mile beyond Kelly's Hotel in Rosslare Strand... Next time I'm near I'll get a photie.

Looking forward to meeting many of the IRM.com folks at the St Joseph's Easter Model Railway & Hobbies Exhibition this weekend.

Nice job. I must get around to assembling mine for Ballybeg...

Great stuff. I used Alphagraphix extensively for my Irish OO Ballybeg including their signal cabin, Glenfarne station and shops http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/109-Ballybeg/page16 . I have started working in plastic and may convert some of the railway buildings in time. I am exhibiting Ballybeg for the 10th time at Easter in Wexford. I admire your stamina in showing your wonderful layout in so many venues across the UK!. Incidently, I lived in Sligo during the 1990's and cycled all over Sligo/Leitrim coming across many artefacts and railway alignments relating to the SLNCR (Slow, Late, Never Comes) railway. What a shame it closed.

All are invited to see Ballybeg "in the flesh" at the St Joseph's Easter Show! I have remodelled it such that the backscenes will not hinder viewing. I will be showing late steam (1950s) and early diesels (1960s)on the Sunday then Black&Tan and Supertrain liveries on the Monday. Also I will be showing my Llangollen in N gauge layout. Much more at the show (see http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5326-St-Joseph-s-Hobby-and-Model-Show-Easter-2016?p=86794#post86794 )

Fantastic models! Are the buildings based on the Alphagraphix range?

Nice of collection of railway memorabilia there!

Tommy, Looks good. I have a spare set of 121 IE water-slide transfers and will drop them in the post to you. Gerry

I understand that the A's got as far as IR logos with tippex but not the IE logo...

Hear, hear, well said Sir! Always encourage, promote and respect our great hobby by your words and actions. We are a minority sport which needs careful nurturing lest it die away...

Down with this sort of thing!

I will try post those shots again here:

Not sure why these shots don't appear (they were fine on Preview)??

A couple of off-line views around Ballybeg for the record.
