Phil, was out at the local B na M plant in portlaoise yesterday and thought of your layout....
the locals appear to like a bit of shooting...level crossing signs seem to be a favourite target - try and model this!
copped 086 and a rake of autoballasters at rest in mullingar at the weekend. always loved watching trains go past this on this bank...
out with the old and in with the new logo - love the marks wgere the old one was!
was over at Lough Owel yesterday evening and visiting a spot where i spent many a day dossing as a nipper. never knew level crossings had letter boxes......
then saw this either side of the crossing...
the pyramid shapes are made of hard rubber - am i right in assuming that they are to keep animals or is it us humans from entering the area? and for you brainey lads out there...how would you model a mat like that?
finally a clip of a railcar on the way to sligo....
bring back the noisy diesels...very hard to hear these comming - would scare the crap out of you
