Excellent job - ideal to reduce light pollution, with the Perseid meteor shower due in a fortnight.

Kayak is the way, as long as it's not too choppy. https://kayakfishinguk.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/p1000299.jpg

Opens today, I believe.

You don't see many people trainspotting from a boat.
-
Also depends upon your eyesight and dexterity - in the other direction.

Definitely! Top work, there. Even the 'modern-styled' site layout ones as you enter the platform area were in a complimentary form - very similar to what you see at stations today.

More rules coming in the UK - at some undetermined point in the future. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40684581 -
Winter on the Midland Line (New Zealand) July 2017

Members only, I'm afraid. And, of course, Laois is often assumed to have been heavily damaged during the Vietnam War... -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Alps I wonder how many people have booked accommodation in New Zealand, thinking they were going to Italy? -
Out now, I believe.
-
And, as we all know, the CI (Craggy Island) registration is actually Laois, the only county that does not border a county with a maritime coastline - spooky.

I've seen the pier in what passes for 'real life' with me - at the Sleaford Show - it is truly a special model.

You may find this and last year here - http://imgur.com/a/W6hDD

No. 2 will be in action on the Sunday and Monday.
-
They were quickly dealt with - with a minimum of fuss. Also, after the new water tower, I wonder if the coaling facilities may be on the list for improvement? Perhaps a coaling tower for next year?
-
The return trip went via the Russian Church... ...and Timahoe. Where I found this drawing, if anybody feels inclined to model it.
-
Stradbally has some fine parkland, ideal for the August Bank Holiday steam fair. And some marvellous trees. The gates have survived well, too.
-
The brake van was attached specially for me, I'm sure, having been made a mile from my house. It really does deserve the title "Woodland Railway".
-
If you ask nicely and have brought along somebody to lift you up, you may be allowed to sound the whistle. Beware of snipers. The station canopy is made from 100% unseasoned wood. A more manageable railway was also available. The view from the guard's van.

The military personnel seemed to generally get along fine, although there were instances of over-zralous ticket inspections.
-
The larger military hardware was interesting. A French 75mm. A 'pack' howitzer, dismantlable for mule trains. A variety of small arms.
-
Some details of No. 2. The Office. The view.
-
The main event, of course, was No. 2 in stem.
-
Well, having attempted to lure the recently released Heir Flick to this, it turned out that he was still under house arrest. It was a nice day and the attendance was quite steady, with quite a bit of variety and activity to keep all ages interested. The new water tower has appeared since my last visit. And new signs. And old ones. Future projects lie on the store yard. Current stock was on display.

In Dunamase Antiques, on Main Street, Port Laoise, is a curved brass plate, about 18" wide and 15" high, which looks like it was attached to a large pillar or column by screws around the edges. It bears the inscription - Irish Transport Manager I didn't see a price and I didn't want to seem too interested, in case anybody was about to hurry down the motorway for it.
