The trains to Knock

[spudfan]

For a new model idea, how about the pilgrimmage train to knock. This would allow IRM to fit a sound chip to relay the sound of the Rosary being said by the pilgrims on board. So with the GM yoke (or yokes) up the front fitted with a sound chip for the engine (or engines if double headed) and the carraiges fitted with speakers relaying the pilgrims reciting the rosary, it would be an interesting combination.....

Waste of time, West on Track already exists in 1/1 scale.

I think the IRM Rosary sound chip might take decades......

Is there nothing to be said for another Mass?

And there would need to be the right number of stations on the layout.

There needs to be a model priest with confessional “customer” with a soundtrack.

"How have you sinned, my son?"

"That is a mortal sin, for which you will burn in the fires of Hell for eternity. - but, at least you haven't posted photos upside down..."

Many years ago before IRM even, I travelled from Templemore to Knock on a "Special", cant remember the occasion but there were
loads of us marched down from the Training Centre
4 of us had bought some of Tipperary's finest flagons before our adventure and drank them on our journey
Needless to say we were in no state to march to the Basilica and we missed the service
Got confined to the centre for a fortnight for our troubles
Funny thing is I cant remember what coaches we were in or the loco that pulled them
