That's a excellent layout and a credit to you. You have captured so much detail and so realistic

Latest update. I have finally finished the goods yard section of the layout. I have based it on the one at Arklow, and while space was at a premium, I have managed to squeeze in all the elements I had planned.

I love the weathering on the goods shed and the Esso silos!!

Such a super layout this. So well observed

Brilliant- great detail and looks great

On my.

When I saw the name and the first pictures, had to look back and then saw those fabulous bridge scenes, realising it was THAT layout and therefore the new stuff was also going to be something special.

 Beautifully observed, splendidly subtle and a very fine creation. Well done!

Thanks Flying Snail. This is how those Esso silos looked in a previous incarnation!

I know that putting sheets on a rake of wagons requires the purchase of several packs of Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, but it's good to learn that making a model fuel depot can justify consumption of several dozen cakes!

Magnificent!

No more layout progress to report. However, my brother was home for a few days, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to avail of his photography skills.

Super - some excellent viewpoints there that really capture the atmosphere of the layout. Great work by both modeller and photographer!

The attention to detail on the under bridge and street scene are superb-excellent work

[Patrick Davey]

Exceptional!!!!

[derek]

Superb.  Never get tired of looking at this. Send your brother round to my place please. Maybe he can make my layout look that well. Oh right, it doesn't work that way

[Bob229]

Outstanding layout, lots of fine detail and excellent photos 

[David Holman]

Lovely photos of an exceptional layout: so well observed.

This is absolutely stunning. Superb modelling. You have done a wonderful job in capturing the essence of of a small Irish town. The buildings and street scenes are incredible. As is the colour palette. It's just spot on and blends so well. If I could produce something with just a fraction of the atmosphere, I would be delighted.

Please keep on sharing!
