MikeO Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 While looking at some GNR covered wagon drawings I came across on for the grain wagon mentioned in the posts from jhb171achill and Lough Erne. This is similar to the Guinness wagon but with no large side doors but as well as the hatches on the roof there are 4 small doors on each side. There appears to be a ladder on the outside giving access to the middle hatch. The drawing mentions a ladder on the inside leading down from the centre hatch. MikeO Quote

Very enjoyable. 187 and the rolling stock looked the part. Love that layout. Quote
DiveController Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Great sense of satisfaction after completing the build and running them , Eamonn. Gerry's got a fab layout there:tumbsup: Quote

Irishrailwayman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 A reel of views around Ballybeg with Black n' Tan carriages and goods wagons. 2 Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 A couple more views. I have added an extension, a gents and a platform canopy to the Bachmann pre-cast Clonmel station for Ballybeg. Note the oil wagons: the Burmah are a Hornby offering included for colour/variety rather than historical accuracy; the black and the silver ESSO wagons appear in only one photograph I have seen them on Irish railways (page 56 - dated 1957 at Adelaide in NI - "Irish Railways in Colour - A second glance"). Perhaps Westie could be persuaded to do transfers for "Irish Shell" or "Mex" oil tankers which were more commonly recorded on Irish lines... 2 Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The changes to the carlow building look great! Is the canopy bashed from a kit? Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Final views and then I will try to upload a couple of videos watching the trains go by. 1 Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The changes to the carlow building look great! Is the canopy bashed from a kit? For the canopy I used some plastic sheeting of Slates from Wills and cut it to shape. The valencing is by Ratio. The extension used Wills Stone plastic sheet and Quoins (corner-stones) and window/door surrounds by Langley Models. For the gents, I used a Wills kit for interiour details. I added tile edges to roofs and "lead" to valleys using leftovers from some Metcalfe card models. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Looking absolutely superb. Fantastic modelling skills, scenes and atmosphere. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Absolutely stunning, more detail than you can even notice on first glance! Quote
richrua Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 it is a super job. love what you did to the carlow station. Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) it is a super job. love what you did to the carlow station. Thanks for that. A couple of shots of that Gents! I used detail from the Wills kit. Edited February 10, 2016 by Irishrailwayman 1 Quote

GSR 800 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 The flux capacitator must be on the blink...(kicks) The layout looks EPIC Quote

Irishrailwayman Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Absolutely superb, it's the details that really bring a layout to life. Love it, great work well done All are invited to see Ballybeg "in the flesh" at the St Joseph's Easter Show! I have remodelled it such that the backscenes will not hinder viewing. I will be showing late steam (1950s) and early diesels (1960s)on the Sunday then Black&Tan and Supertrain liveries on the Monday. Also I will be showing my Llangollen in N gauge layout. Much more at the show (see http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5326-St-Joseph-s-Hobby-and-Model-Show-Easter-2016?p=86794#post86794 ) Quote

Well done Gerry it is totally realistic. Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 How much better does this layout get? The people of Ballybeg, it has to be said are very industrious! Such background activity is always a good (and often neglected area) of layouts. How many (including my former one pre-first-house-moves) have nice trains rattling round sizeable stations with not a sinner about! Quote
craven1508 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 what a setting!!, amazing work and artistry. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 I am looking forward to Easter and getting a chance to see Ballybeg and the New Macmine layout. Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 A few atmospheric shots of Ballybeg with an Autumnal sunrise. First, early diesel days B101 waits for the road while 2-6-0 Mogul 383 rests on the turntable. Lastly in a much later era, a shot of 220 getting the road by Ballybeg West signal cabin... 1 Quote
Kirley Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 It's atmospheric alright, great pictures of a great layout. Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Fantastic! Superb stuff - love the green 101.... Quote
