    Some of Ballybeg's alternate railway buildings have been given a re-vamp/spruce up to keep them fresh:

    Worth checking for a full listing of CVs for that particular chip as these vary between makers. Also the MM model itself may be using different electronic set ups to make certain lights work together etc.

    Update on Little Siddington: work continues to develop more of the countryside areas around the layout with plaster contouring, painting, static grass application, wire fencing and telegraph pole installation, addition of extension to head-shunt to form a branch in the centre of the layout (which will be adaptable to take a variety of club/members' layouts) etc.

    "Buffers Lock" station building is now virtually complete apart from some weathering and details. Note extensive interiour detailing including toilet areas!
  5. Irishrailwayman
    Great project - best of luck.

    Buffers Lock signal box gets the dry brush treatment on its brickwork to match the station building:

    Started painting the station building using a base-coat and dry-brush technique with the base-coat showing through as the mortar!

    A couple of shots of the layout as it nears completion:

    Mark IIIs are heritage items now...

    Thanks Noel. These are laser-cut wood kits from Timber Tracks which are beautifully presented and straightforward to assemble with their fast-setting wood glue. They are amazingly strong when complete. These models are destined for my new O gauge steam outline layout "Buffers Lock" which is in planning - a cross between my "Shunters Yard" and "Diesel Depot"! The boards and wiring will be done to the same high standards as "Little Siddington". The idea is to have an interesting O gauge layout that can be set up quickly for play at home/clubroom and easily transported in two cars to exhibitions.

    Timber Tracks Cattle Dock gets a coat of primer: Roofing strips added to simulate tiling on the Timber Tracks Goods Shed now ready for primer:

    With the lock-down got time to undercoat some of the O gauge buildings underway: Also got time to start assembling and painting a Timber Tracks Goods Shed:

    Am I correct in saying that engines for some 121s were taken from obsolete C/201s (which had in their turn been re-engined when their Crossley engines were discarded)?

    Diesel Depot is now equipped with a colour light signal to control entry into the tunnel and fiddle-yard. IR Class 071 No 073 waits for the off. Note simple touch-screen control with a tablet using Z21 which controls both points and the signal:
  15. Irishrailwayman
    Shunters Yard is now equipped with two hand remote operated/lighted starter signals as well as dummy ground signals:

    So sorry to hear Anthony made a great contribution to the Wexford MRC's Exhibitions. He will be missed. Rest in peace.

    More work completed on the portacabins and fuel point including lights in O gauge:

    SY's 6407 shunter gets a helping hand now from diminutive 0-6-0 saddle tank loco 1363.
  19. Irishrailwayman
    SY gets a new "Express Parcels" railcar to augment the goods traffic handling capacity. Nice model from Dapol and I have fitted a MR Soundguy DCC sound decoder for added exhibition/play value!

    Some porta-cabins are in development for this layout:

    A neat GWR Pagoda Skytrex kit is in development for LS:

    "Shunters Yard" OO has had an upgrade on its wiring recently to bring it up to the standards set by Wexford MRC's "Little Siddington" in O gauge. A separate 12-volt DC supply has been wired in to the lighting circuit.

    These are John Walker's Rosslare Express set developed some years ago. The engine is most likely a Will's kit on a Hornby chassis afaik. John hasn't been around for a while but I will ask next time I see him to confirm.

    That's right - all of the South Wexford stations were built to the same plan including island platforms and basic station buildings.

    MM This layout is "Rathmichael" by John Walker a long-standing member of Wexford MRC who has produced many Award Winning OO Irish layouts some of which have been shown at Warley and elsewhere over the decades. "Rathmichael" is owned by the club and is slated for renovations/upgrades once the current restrictions are lifted. It is based on the now closed South Wexford line and is named in honour of a Founding Member of the club Michael Curran R.I.P. I only have a few photos on file but will get more soon. TotalLock.exe
