Agreed! All major preservation society’s are based north of Dublin. ma’am cross, RPSI, cultra, C&L, Donegal ect. Waterford has the Suir valley, Kerry has the lartigue railway, Clare has moyesta, Tipperary has ITG in carrick. The cost and time to get to and from any of these sites is a bit of an object. Meanwhile in the whole county of cork we have no.36 in Kent and 2 Park Royal coaches in the west cork model railway village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of aunts who had a friend who was as geographically-challenged as they were - she got on a train in Bristol to go the few miles to Wellington (in Somerset) and got off it in Wellington in Shropshire.

murphaph Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Lol, reminds me of my pal back when I lived in Berlin. We had a party and he got well oiled. Took the train to Potsdam instead of Potsdamer Platz. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 As I said on my own thread - go and see William Redpath's model of Portadown at Bangor this weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I managed to get a few photos of some of the layouts at the exhibition. i posted my T Trak layout photos on the T trak thread. Four views of Feneghy an OO scale layout of a fictional NCC line set in the Ballymoney area. A closeup of therec NCC liveried 6 wheel coaches Rush hour perhaps? Two new layouts from the Glenabby club First an OO scale layout Second a compact N gauge layout. the stone buildings are Metcalfe card kits Four views of the large Portadown layout. A spectacular layout. How railways started? MikeO 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I love that Portadown layout - saw it somewhere a few years ago (Blackrock?). And the Fenaghy one is a gem too. Well done to all concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARNE CABIN Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Growing up in the village of Gilford, and going to school in Portadown, William Redpath's model of Poradown Station is so nostalgic. What an achievement to model such a large area so accurately. I remember seeing it a few years ago (probably at Cultra) when the roundhouse area was still being developed. There are so many areas along the length of the model brilliantly modelled. Hats off to you William, brilliant realism, terrific modelling. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
