Picked up a G Class kit for 50 quit on Fri, he has another one in stock, comes with the Boogie

This one is from Any Scale Models, I don't think it would put of place on an Irish layout.

The landscape is hiding one of two planned Helix leading to a subterranean fiddle yard, at least that's the plan, trains disappear into the tunnel down the helix and park up for a while and a different train appears at the station.

Looking forward to seeing this progress

Thank you all for the encouragement, but most of the credit must go to YouTube

I have been collecting bits and pieces and planning to build a layout for 40 years, I have finally started building it.

I have a full set of yellow flying snail decals, numbers etc for grey livery GM 121, I'm not going to use them, it is a shame to waste them, they are quite nice. Does anybody need them ?

Get yourself some cheap loco bodies on eBay and get some practice at it, when you have mastered some skills, then tackle some of your good stuff, but I agree it is addictive. The nice thing about Irish locos is that it is hard to overdo it, they were manky most of the time,

I got an IRM 121 kit, an sw1500 doner a couple of CIE lorries, a P&T lorry and a heap of other stuff, will somebody please buy up all his second hand Irish stock before I end up in the poor house, I even contemplated buying the old Jouef CIE loco for posterity, (my first train set) but better Council pervaled.

A lot of Cyril Fry's models were liveried with the correct paint which he got from Inchicore, but as somebody said earlier, correct colour may not scale down very well, I go with " paint what you see " but that doesn't work with b&w or poor quality photos.

I picked up a few nice bits and pieces.

I'm building a layout in Dunshaughlin, I would be interested if it is finished by then.

I think you and I are on the same mission.

Guys, Does anybody know where I could find one of these to help this lady out.
