Excellent. Always good to be an exhibitor!

Quite proud of these two. It's so fun trying to make it look real- it's not a particularly difficult job in fairness as the layout is quite realistic. But the camera angle is everything, low angles really are magic.

Makes it seem like you’re standing lineside.

I had the privilege of seeing this wonderful little layout at Dunshaughlin, it is a wonderful example of how a layout can be small, uncomplicated and still capture the atmosphere of the period, it's lovely.

Well, 1 month later and I'm heading to a much tougher crowd this weekend!

Be sure to say hi and point out what's wrong with the layout if your at the show!

That's my job?

Well thanks to the leaving cert it's been 9 months since I've posted here. But for once I do have a substantial update! 

Following the purchase of a bachmann 105 which is suitably prototypical-ish looking for me to represent an aec Railcar. (It's got the right face at least). I have been inspired to create a new sort Module/ layout/ photo plank of tramore station as it would've looked during the very last months of the Railcar years. Complete with a siding for the camping coaches. 

It's very small but I like that to be honest, nice to have a comparatively small amount of jobs to complete so they get done properly. This is going to be a more realistic representation of the line than the station in the foreground. (Tramore high level if you will!) 

This kit-built coach acquired from the East Lancashire railway years ago will have to be repainted into the blood & custard-esqe colour scheme. All this has to be done ideally before the Dunshaughlin harvest festival at the end of September so that I can have a train run between both stations but at least before the Mrsi exhibition in October. As always any tips or suggestions are welcome. 

Better be sooner than a month before I do more!
