Short answer: very.

Railway Modeller does have a 'Student Modeller' section, dedicated to those starting out or re-visiting the hobby.

It's horses for courses, you can make it as highly detailed and realistic as you want or run basic out of the box 00 or tinplate 0 gauge if you like that sort of thing. It's up to you. The magazines wouldn't want to feature articles with a whole load of carbon copy layouts with bog standard Hornby items. People just wouldn't find them interesting.

Are they supposed to be patterns/template for making something.....? Cos they look a bit like a leaf spring.

I'm planning a steam-to-diesel era layout at the moment, not that I remember it or anything, just for variety. However I do think the uk 'death of steam' layout has been flogged, well...to death, in modelling circles. I take my hat off to folks who go pre-CIE/GSR or uk pre Grouping or go with making broad gauge trackwork. Would never have the patience for that.

Well, almost.

Think all the Shannon Scheme ones were temporary 600mm or 800mm or sumat, and a more permanent 5'3'' branch.

I won't do well at this without my 'bibles'! The Marconi railway? And maybe those ones on Achill Island that whatshisname wrote about???

As an aside, the ironwork for Cork loco shed I have heard, was originally supposed to go to somewhere on the North British Railway. Trying to get confirmation for this.

The current D&CDR station was a gasworks manager's house.

Could have been...but the one I have in mind you would have passed through...quite often...

Spot on, Cahir was a hunting lodge in a former life.

Name two railway station buildings (i.e. booking offices/stationhouses) that didn't start life as railway stations?
-
Think that was built by Budd, might be on to something. The W&LR had the first bogie coaches in these islands, described as 'American style', don't know if they were American built though. Doubt it.

Hence the inverted commas.

That Riverstown 'preservation' effort up in Louth?

jhb has had his Weetibix this morning.

You meant CB&SCR, so top marks. The original whistles annoyed residents so much that they got replaced by regular ones.

1. What system was re-gauged TWICE. Started life as 3', regauged to 3'6'' and regauged again to 5'3''? 2. Where could you have once found US-built steam locos with chime whistles in operation in this country?

here's another few Deutz's around Europe... http://www.rail-pictures.com/1024/the-shunter-locomotive-1024-pictured-10782.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2368/5803438321_90b5febf13_o.jpg presume locos all produced around the same era had identical or similar components or at least a 'family' resemblance. -
That neck of the woods, but not Kilmeadan.

Where could you have once found a railway owned toll bridge?
