I remember visit in 1978 brought Hornby 4-wheels blue coach. Then I visit every 3-6 months. Also the Model shop (upper queen street to Queen street) did selling trains as well (but not stock trains during leisureworld). Also two others toys dept/shop in Belfast do stock many trains. Frederick and Thomas 1950s-1983 stock triang trains to hornby, dinky, airfix and others makes. Anderson and McAuley dept stores selling trains in 1900s such as old O gauge makes to triang trains but stopping before leisureworld. I found video by NI Screen digital archive 'Anderson and McAuley' The years Christmas Toys 1964. Turn to 3.15 to see layout running and shelf full of triang trains and scalextric. https://digitalfilmarchive.net/media/this-years-christmas-toys-3695

From member of Marklin forum. Irish Train travel - Correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company. Gentlemen, I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago. Yours truly, Patrick Finnegan -------------------------------- Dear Mr. Finnegan, We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot. Sincerely, Irish Railway Company ----------------------------------- Gentlemen, I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass. That, Gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years! Yours truly, Patrick Finnegan.
