  1. Well the layout is stripped and Ballyercall is officially closed. Thanks for all the positive feedback and comments over the years. Happy new year to everyone. Here’s a few images from the last couple of days of operation.
  2. Believe me I would be happy to flog it as layouts are a pain to store!
  3. Well the end has arrived. Here’s a rather long video of trains coming and going at Ballyercall. There might be one more video and then it’s box it up time.
  4. ESU sound decoders can have a current overload set to operate. I would remove the decoder, refit the blanking plate and try on standard DC. See if the motor runs hot or if the loco runs significantly slower than you would expect. It sounds more like a faulty motor than anything else.
  5. Happy Christmas to everyone
  6. Happy Christmas and thanks for a great modelling year.
  7. Back to the A Class. Great looking models with great lighting functions
  8. Great class of loco. Always looked at home on the SVR. Ideal for a preserved railway of its size.
  9. So we need twenty foot flats for them!
  10. All the best exciting times.
  11. Some more action from Ballyercall
  12. Please force me to sell the house to buy a fleet of 80's!!!
  13. The lads at IRM know my persistent requests for a NIR 80 Class! There is a vast quantity of colour schemes. Can I have 81 in Suburban Livery with "The Boys Brigade" nameplates!!! Although the sound chip of the hunting tick over it had for years could be a problem and the sparks out of the exhaust as it departs on full thrash could also be challenging!!!
  14. 017 arrives with a Tara working.
  15. That one was mine DJ. I decided to off load a couple as I have too many! That’s the last one now. Reinvested in IRM already!
  16. Baby GM’s lined up ready for service
  17. I know I am delighted with mine. The red marker lights not being independently switched is the only thing that requires modifying. Murphys even model the blanked foot steps on the cab front as modified in real life by IE.
  18. Can I just say thanks to everyone for their encouragement and kind remarks about my layout now and over the last four years. I have really enjoyed running Ballyercall. I don’t really enjoy the layout building process but I am a bit picky about running a layout as prototypical as possible. This model forum is possibly the best for positive comments on the internet. Another massive plus over the last four years is the freight stock over this period. It’s ok having all the locos in the world but it was the appearance of IRM and the different freight wagons that dragged me away from Canadian modelling after twenty years. Now I will get a few last photos taken and start saving for an IRM NIR 80 Class!
  19. You’ll have to help me here?
  20. The layout will be stored until it’s relocated although that could be months away. Then hopefully space permitting it will become a through station.
  21. Ballyercall has been issued with a closure notice in 28 days time. Looks like Boxing Day will be the end of the line for Ballyercall.
  22. No connection but just after seeing these. Best price I have seen yet. https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/65962/MM0121-Murphy-Models-Class-121-Diesel-Locomotive-B121-CIE-Grey
