Great work there and some very interesting photos.

Brilliant - I can't wait till Feb. Hope to see the pics sooner Anto!

Happy Birthday Fran and remember - Your as young as you feel. Tommy.

Thanks Blu Bianco - those locos certainly are worked hard! Expensive looking repairs needed in the last two vids.

Amazing layout and rolling stock.

Santa dropped in a Class 59 and the boys were happy to test her out.

Lovely looking model there Shinkansen, is it a GM or a GE? Very nice.

A few more clips - reflecting the modern scene as DMU'S rule.

Hi Kevin, I love this layout and the night shots are excellent. I will look forward very much to some more pics. The name is fantastic and I know this D.S.E.R. station well and it can be a bleak spot in the middle of the winter. Your layout is coming on great. Well done.

Hi again Broithe - I got two live wires onto the picku-ups under bogies and still not a kick? no lights either. Eamonn had advised removing the chassis for a closer look. I got the handrails off but it was taking so much effort to squeeze the body at the recommended pressure points, I stopped as was afraid to force or break something. In the end I took Georgeconna's advice and dropped the loco into Marks for Jim to have a look. I will let you know how it turns out and thanks to all of you. Tommy.

Thanks Broithe and Georgeconna -advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Broithe, Yes I will give that a try that sounds a good way of getting directly to the problem. I'm only hoping that the motor is not burned out. She was running well up to a few days ago and would never have the loco running on full power, maybe 1/3 or 1/2 power. Thanks Broithe - if it is burned out what will I do next? Thanks in advance. Tommy.

Thanks again Broithe for your help and advice. I will check out those pick-ups again and try to determine if dirt has got on them and the back of the wheels. There isn't even a slight movement or a hint of a light coming on - she's completely dead. Many thanks. Tommy.

Hi Broithe - thanks for that. I did just as you advised and the good engine just towed the faulty one - I could not get a jolt out of it - no lights, no movement of any description. It is DC and I cleaned the wheels, track etc but no joy? Would appreciate any further suggestions Broithe. Tommy.

Hi lads, I think if have managed to short out a 141 class on DC track. She has ran well then suddenly stopped and will not run. Have tried her many times today and no luck. If I pop off the body is there anything I can do to test for this problem - also if it has been shorted can she be salvaged or repaired? Many thanks:( Tommy

Came across this and thought it very impressive.

No problem there Fitz and yes Seamus is sure to have a decent selection at very competitive prices.

Ah yes the sound really finishes them off as a top class model.

Steven it looks brilliant there. Great to see Thomas getting a run on the cement bogies. Love the maintenance shed and the modern prefab offices. The prize item for me has to be that weathered 141/181 - it is fantastic and adds hugely to the overall realism of this excellent layout. Tommy.

Fitz - don't know if you have seen this ad or even if it's still valid? Might be worth checking out even though it's a full set. http://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/graham-farish-370-251-by-bachmann-deisel-fuel-freight-train-set/2126568

Sorry to hear this sad news Anthony. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this difficult time. Tommy.

Well done roryon, great layout and I love the fencing, borders near the lines and the bus shelter.

Thanks Snapper that was a bit of a headache for operations. Given those circumstances the delay does not seem to have been too severe.
