    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

    Actually these belong to another WMRC member - I will check and get back to you on that!

    Wexford MRC hope to have an extended Wexford Festival Opera Open Day in October if this covid situation is resolved!

    In place of our annual exhibition Wexford MRC are putting on a Virtual Model Railway Exhibition instead! Click on the following link to our dedicated Facebook Group: Virtual Model Railway Exhibition and add pictures or videos of your exhibition layout.

    Looks well!

    That livery is all wrong - it should have a flying snail!

    Last bit of work done before the clubrooms closed last week:

    Some additional work completed prior to clubrooms closing down:

    Mr Soundguy (Keith Pearson) was the first person to record Irish DCC sounds and market them. He is still selling these as well as a huge range of other UK outline sounds on excellent Zimo soundchips.

    Usually not worth recycling as the rails form the very basis for well running trains (along with flat baseboard, electrics). You can develop the most sophisticated layout with every scenic feature but suffer from poor running because the rails are not good.

    The only word for this layout is.. awesome. The sheer scale and ambition of those buildings and their authenticity is just amazing!
  19. Irishrailwayman
    Very becoming Dave!

    It is with much regret that the Committee of Wexford Model Railway Club have decided to cancel their planned Exhibition in May 2020. This obviously in light of the ongoing Covid-19 situation. All invitees have been apprised of this by e-mail. Thank you to all those who agreed to participate and hopefully once this situation is resolved we can all meet at Exhibitions in the future.

    Work is ongoing on LS over the last few months with more boards being prepared for scenery and lights added to buildings and around the station area:
  22. Irishrailwayman
    More detail is being added including Yard Lamps, security fencing, oil tanks, inspection platform etc.
  23. Irishrailwayman
    No longer used once IFI Arklow closed in 2002. All cut up or perhaps chassis repurposed I would imagine!
  24. Irishrailwayman
    Probably worth noting that many a worker died of lung diseases from such practices! S&H was put in place for very good reasons.
  25. Irishrailwayman
    Correct, Wexford MRC use the equivalent in O for fixed rakes of coaches but use 3-link or screw-link couplings to the locomotives with a magnetic rod or fine tweezers to lift the links onto/off the hooks. Goods wagons in O tend to use 3-link couplings in the same way allowing hand assisted shunting.
