Irish Rail Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 New to the Docklands today is the iconic Fitzgeralds pub.. with direct lines straight from the Guiness brewery next door you wont find a pint of plain fresher then that.. "Assumpta" is looking forward to being open the bars doors once again once the lockdowns allows.. This is a alphagrahix kit I bought in 1997 in the old Dun Laoghaire toy & train fair as a wee modeller 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Rail Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Some ballasting upto the fence line & more scenery added today.. painted some of the excellent Faller roadway paint to create more tarmac and rearranged the ports buildings to form some of Dublin port company operation areas/depot for their essential workers More road markings to be added.. Pictures include Outlook from the oil terminal with traffic on the mainline. Ports new offices accommodation and depot building. Rearranged the fisheries centre location.
