Recreating Adelaide in miniature.

I believe I only have another 206 locomotives to go in order to recreate to the entire GNR(I) steam motive power roster.

Clogherhead this evening. The GNR staff have heard a rumour that a film crew might be in the area tomorrow.

I've just uploaded the 50th video to my YouTube channel, and it has a strong GNR(I) theme!!

Starring:
UG 060 No. 149
PP 440 No. 74

T2 442t No. 64

U 440 No. 205

 

Along with some new characters to add to the litany of lunacy, as well as a particularly bad pun…..

Very nice Patrick

Great stuff, Patrick! But Fr Ray Codd? Sandy Castles? The Kelp Line? Where's the "groan" emoji when you need it?  Seriously, though, this is such a great layout and the videos are such fun, so please keep 'em coming!

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks Mark - they take a bit of effort so I am always glad to hear that they go down well

And sorry about the puns

Back to the black & tan era for this short clip as A3r effortlessly lifts some Cravens and Park Royals, and a heating van, out of Clogherhead.  The seagulls must’ve been off that day.

Black & tan & white & maroon & yellow at Clogherhead.  As you can imagine, these two locos made quite a racket when they sat together.  Look out for a diesel-themed video coming soon……

Busy summer Saturdays during the early 1970s at Clogherhead.  Good times.

When's the next train back?, Never packed my togs. 

looks great Patrick.

A busy spot indeed. Looking very fine Patrick. We don’t often get a view of the road side of the station building.

Thanks Alan, I’ve just realised the final photo was flipped, here’s the correct version

Ah that’s a puzzle solved! I was struggling to make sense of the 2 pics together

Great videos Patrick, beautifully put together, love the "Kelp Line", very enjoyable to watch.

Some late evening views at CHD in September 1970 as Hunslet No. 102 ‘Falcon’ prepares to head back to Drogheda before returning north to Belfast Great Victoria Street.
