Hi All,

Happy Friday:) When I was living in rented accommodation and had no space I built this for fun and took it to a fews show. Would love to get some Irish N gauge to run on it.

To see one in motion check out #688 http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/524-Kirley-junction/page69. I know Flying Scotsman has also done one.

Thanks for that. Looks great in green!.

Hi All,

If this topic has been covered before please forgive me. I've always loved the K class because of its oddness. I've repainted a Roco V65 to represent one. I'm sure someone else out there has done a much better job than me. Would love to see some pictures.

Hi Guys, thanks gain for your comments. The layout is analogue. I have no plans yet to switch to DCC, but maybe in the future sometime. The black steam loco is a hornby dean goods repainted. I have a green woolwich, buts its a poor runner. Does anyone have any ideas on improving its performance?

The black guinness bus a guinness collectable and I think is still widely available.

Thanks for your encouraging comments:)

Hi again, thanks for your comments. As a child of the eighties I gre up looking at hornby layouts and track plans thinking that they were the bees knees, this probably effected my decision to build a roundie roundie. I can operate 4 locos at once, analogue control. I've quickly realised the limitations of a layout like this, I probably would have been better of with two lanes of track, rather than 4, and decent fiddle yard with better operational potential. That said, Im enjoying running stuff that's been in boxes for years. For now I'll probably finish the layout off and enjoy for a few years before rethinking the whole thing. Here are some more pics. Looking forward to contributing to the forum.

Hi All,

Im a long time on looker of this forum and have enjoyed viewing other peoples creations. I have recently bought a house and have had the opportunity to put together a small permanent layout. Its a basic 7 x4 roundie-roundie with a small fiddle yard. Needs more work, back scenes and detailing. The state of the layout matches my skill level (basic). Rolling stock consists of all the usual suspects.
