Is it just me, or does the lad holding the black bag look like he's had one too many. He's obviously spent the afternoon in Fitzgerald's.

Some improvements on the Docklands station including new station name plates and new station newsagents 📰 on the platform 🚂🚃🚃🚃 the intercity 22000 class DMU passengers will be happy 😂

 

Other bits made over past few weeks  for the layout too such as a detailed Garda station & post office along with some Irish street scene accessories 😁

Some additions and work on the layout 

Very impressed with Glenderg warning lamps and IRM container flats.. 

 

Some new C Rail 20ft containers too 

 

New CIE Railway Byelaw signage and added some improved level crossing signs I made too 🚥🛑20210128_144205.thumb.jpg.125f228880bd2af09af76f0f868ec371.jpg

That’s brilliant. Those Tangis screaming along the street are the sound track to much of my childhood. They were petrol rather than diesel, for obvious speed and acceleration purposes - goodness knows what the MPG was. Strictly speaking, of course, the RUC man should have his hands up by the shoulder gussets of the flak jacket, hooked on by the thumbs ;) That’s how I always remember them standing ! A few years ago at work, a retired British soldier who’d served in NI heard my accent and said ‘who’s this then’ and demonstrated the pose …I got it instantly ! He was ex-Royal Military Police and found the default RUC stance most amusing.image.thumb.jpeg.440f999a2a0e2eb36dc9d236783c670d.jpeg

Thanks I want to have one of the corners of my layout as a reflection on 1987 Northern Ireland with some hald relief buildings.

It's been a while. Always good to see an update from Fingal County. 036 is looking right at home. 

Thanks mate good to be missed :)  I'm currently building a new Train Room/Man Cave to move the layout out too so I have been focusing on that rather then adding to much to it ahead of the "big move" ;) the full layout will be a 8x7 loop.
