Bengali, I presume. They don't waste time inventing words, just borrow them straight. Most 'Indian' radio stations here give phone numbers in English... .. and they haven't bothered making up a word for 'double-glazing' ..

I wondered if it might be pronounced Bally gun ge - but, no, it is Ballygunge. [video=youtube;-m2n4legqHk] Start at 1:24....

And, if you want to make a layout, this is Ballygunge Junction railway station.
-
If you make a layout for it, be careful what you call the station.

Day release.

Most certainly, it is, Sir. It's in Kolkata - what 'we' used to call Calcutta.

Rolf is currently residing "at Her Majesty's pleasure" about a quarter of a mile from where I am...

This restaurant appears to be real - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_Ballygunge_Place - even if it sounds like it might be run by Podge and Rodge. From today's Did You Know on Wikipedia...

I could imagine a Downton doll's house selling.

It would be really fiddly to put that tiny black square on the window....

If there was a Father Ted train set, I would buy it.

Indeed. Under their various names (Austin/BMC/Leyland...) the A-Series engine was used from 1951 to 2000. And look what happened....

Hornby exhibits many of the traits that we saw in British industry in general - traits that got rid of the motor industry, shipbuilding, motorcycles, most of the aircraft industry, etc. - even Tri-Ang and Chad Valley, that were once world leaders in toys. People often coast along with the belief that they "should exist", just because they do.

Where I live, we have what is officially Market Square, but is generally known as BTTF Square... The temptation to 'shop' Deloreans into pictures is too great for some - frequently... ..other, more technically adept versions also exist.

Or, if it doesn't, you can always try the magnetic path and increase the downforce onto the track without increasing (much) the weight to be raised. http://www.dccconcepts.com/resources/PDFs/030-Reviews/040-Hornby/HM-I95-05-Gradients-and-Powerbase-2015.pdf

It is - you may have been at one of the Barry Potter Fairs, perhaps - http://www.barrypotterfairs.com/fairs.php?fair=19 ? Still a Wrenn Boy that turns up at those, if you ever need a contact. I go to about 2/3 of them. I might go up tomorrow and see if anybody is still stuck in the mud. The HS2 is supposed to run at the bottom of the hill, if they ever build it.

Er, that's the only one that I took, apparently - all his layouts are named after local beers.... We did chat for a good while - but, not all about railways. http://sdrmweb.co.uk/Kozel_Cement.php

Saving my favourites for the end... An Underground station - where the Sweeney appear to be closing in on the blaggers in the Transit van.. And a Czech cement works - I know how you lot like the hard stuff.

And a few more...

And more...

General shots of layouts.

Right, pictures. Nothing specifically Irish in the layouts this year, but I did spot these on offer. Not all the layouts had engines in pristine condition. Some of the buildings were also less than pristine. And some of the visitors also showed signs of wear.... I do like a nice fiddle-yard.
