Here one I've found online.

I notice they're fairly close to Fitzgerald's. It was always handy back in the day, when you could nip across to the atm when indulging in the local watering hole. 

Your thinking is the same is the same as mine

Nice work on the signs. Sometimes the smallest of details make all the difference. 

Totally agree.. I like taken note of what I see in the real world to replicate what I'm trying to achieve in the modeling world or as my missus calls it.. day dreaming.. 

Added a little detail to the Harbours main Boozer today.. toasted sandwiches along with nice pint of the black stuff both on the menu too

Love the CD appliances out on a run.. they helping out at a gorse fire?

Great photos

Thanks mate really appreciate that

Some ballasting upto the fence line & more scenery added today..  painted some of the excellent Faller roadway paint to create more tarmac and rearranged the ports buildings to form some of Dublin port company operation areas/depot for their essential workers

More road markings to be added..

Pictures include

Outlook from the oil terminal with traffic on the mainline.

Ports new offices accommodation and depot building.

Rearranged the fisheries centre location. 

All in all I think the flow works better too with the changes.

New to the Docklands today is the iconic Fitzgeralds pub.. with direct lines straight from the Guiness brewery next door you wont find a pint of plain fresher then that..  

"Assumpta" is looking forward to being open the bars doors once again once the lockdowns allows..

This is a alphagrahix kit I bought in 1997 in the old Dun Laoghaire toy & train fair as a wee modeller

Your becoming a great modeler. How did you get OO figures to move and talk?

It's a little known modeling secret known as Pontypandy magic

Putting in the time to to research more life like incidents on the layout

A container fire in the port this evening by the fishery centre.. both the local Dublin Fire Brigade Dennis RS which fends off the road and the Ports Fire & Rescue Service Scania appliances attending the scene along the ports Ford F250 fire piquet jeep..
