Hello together,
I would like to introduce you to my railway. Is there an introduction thread here? I haven't found it.
So briefly about me. I come from Germany, in the very south on the Swiss border. Married, 2 grown-up children, house, cars, ....  Click
I inherited a garden railway the year before last. I'm building my own little (Irish) world from it. Here are a few pictures of the construction so far. I still have hardly any original wagons and locomotives. I have built the Slieve Callan of the West Clare Railway and an Irish fantasy locomotive. And some freight wagons. Some of the inherited houses I have rebuilt in an Irish style - at least that's what I think. I am not rebuilding an original situation. I am building a model railway to play with and to recreate the atmosphere. this

Now a few pictures and Videos . This was a very short introduction - ask if you want to know more.

Now the last important building is ready. The pub. The building was created from Pola's "Hofladen" house. Of course it didn't look Irish ... So I rebuilt it. I removed the sloping framework. The filling of the frame is all done with tile glue. Removed the wall with the yard gate and built the wall with the door there. Built a new front for the pup out of styrofoam and plastic waste. The roof of course again with slate shingles and two big chimneys. The frame painted black, the pub striking red. The name of the pub is a tribute to my daughter's horse. She has an Irish Sporthorse called "King of Tullaghan" CLICK (at the bottom of the page)IMG_20210310_130107.thumb.jpg.253537f0c5ded3f19b992c4d9010a027.jpgIMG_20210529_160430.thumb.jpg.0bec12804523fd6e76e57547ad1abf03.jpgIMG_20210603_150837.thumb.jpg.ca6a59a4720deb047babb4d0b9b855b7.jpgIMG_20210603_150845.thumb.jpg.bf03d30f0a6807a0a43de46773a24810.jpgIMG_20210610_165642.thumb.jpg.c151881df2befd72de1f5947db7b69ca.jpg
