jaysus i need me some of those.

Whilst i do agree ,I also think with such an abundance of RTR passenger stock on the horizon that it may eat into their "must have" status that they seem to have now.

One thing ive been wondering lately, will the upcoming park royals somewhat kill the demand for cravens when they land?

Add one more to that list, ba dum tish.

you were only just saying he has it way too easy, make up your mind

I heard you were in the market for a 5152, that would wrap things up nice and neatly

Can i take 5102? already have a pair of 5152 and want to add some variety to the rake

calm down chap they havent closed the doors yet

I think yous are correct, i dont see a hint of blue in the handbrake wheel when i zoom in.

Lately when i have having been issues finding things on google i have posed the question I am trying to find to chatGPT (no really), the amount of times it actually works is surprisingly high. ALL HAIL OUR FUTURE ROBOTIC OVERLORDS!

Found this the other night and thought it was very intriguing. this photo is dated 2008 or 2009. https://www.timdurham.ie/projects/650_1575-Images-Of-A-Mine

Looks like this will prove insanely useful for planning my goods shed, this particular shed is also situated within a carpark too so i can get in for a closer look

After recent successes with my micros the bug for something bigger and with continuous running had always been niggling in the back of my mind but after mulling on it for a while a tail chaser would not do as i had my mind set on bigger things and longer trains. So ive spent the last couple of weeks planning and building benchwork and this week ive managed to get some trackwork laid so now i finally feel like talking about what ive been doing the result is a 45cm wide bench going around my loft room totalling 12'x7' with a decent space for walkaround in the middle of the room. planning said track work was handy as I was just looking for one big country branchline type loop going around the room which would evolve more over time. Ideally i was thinking from the outset that eventually the layout will incorporate a station area, as well as a quarry area elsewhere in the room but the rest would be pure countryside running. the station would be built from the get go but the quarry area will be a later addition once i start to get a nice bit of a landscape down and have played with the layout for a while. Also finally decided to take the plunge with code 75 and a pair of tracksettas and a dremel tool and OMG why did i not do this years ago so whilst i had been laying the track loop around the room i had also been researching what kind of station I would like and ideally i wanted to make a replica of Gorey station, however upon measuring OSI maps and comparing them to the available space that i had I really was going to need a few more available feet to do it proper justice so I began looking for alternatives from the nearby stations on the map and in the end a very suitable compromise was found and i have quickly designed the station plan around this idea. the placeholder toy buildings have been added to give me an idea of what things are going to look like. I quickly came to the conclusion that Enniscorthy was a little bit too elaborate and Arklow actually worked but it still became space prohibitive as the old goods layout added a lot of required space. Eventually i stumbled upon Tinahely and it struck me as perfect as it followed a very similar layout to gorey whilst fitting into a much more compact space. So the station plan follows this station quite closely, I have had to shorten it slightly and one siding is missing and may or may not be added later depending on how lazy i get. the infrastructure and surrounding roads are going to be similar to the OS map however overall the station buildings are going to be based off of Gorey station and there will be 2 platforms with a footbridge with integrated signal box etc just like main line DSER stations. I can currently fit 4 coach trains at the platforms or 3 42 footers into the goods loop which seems like a decent setup to me although there definitely is some temptation to shorten the goods loop to give 5 coach platforms and a 2 flat goods loop, taking some time off from layout building to decompress and enjoy the nice weather for now however .. Still gotta wire the thing but we can leave that for a rainy day, ha

Jouef do/used to do a set track that was smaller than the first radius we know now.
