That was  a member of South Dublin Club coaching stock that was on their Kildare layout and a fine version too.

The real reason for the log jam on barrow street was the installation of new presses under the fiddle yard with adjustable supports which also allows for access under the boards.

Shouldn't that be Alphabet City?

Not as laid back

I'm thinking of changing the name from Barrow Street to Googleville?

All change to Barrow Street. Say goodbye to the Boston Sidings and ongoing works to Grand Canal Quay

Few photos that might help showing the difference between wagons

It's great to see it reassembled in it's new home. Very interesting to see the steel frame used for the supports - when I go to build a layout of my own, this would be the way I would go about supporting it, after seeing it first on Barrow Street!

The idea for the layout supports was originally done 35 years ago by the Model Railway Society of Ireland for their exhibition layouts which provided ease of movement and strength.

New arrival on Barrow Street . Very nice indeed.

The reason for the traditional block rising walls was the building is beside a river and on that side stepped reinforced foundations were needed with approx. 5FT rising wall required on that side. Ground bearing reinforced floor slab just to be on the safe side.

Oh Dear Margate steam pressure rising. 31 cheap repaints on way.

I'm disappointed nobody's mentioned B*Witched. 

I remember the Marks kits on display there, I'm guessing the arrival of the Lima 201 shortly time would have had an impact on the 201? They had a 141 resin body on display for a while there, I never seen one painted.
