It was very good to see what they achieved in such a short time will definitely have to pay them a visit over the summer.

Thanks for the link Dave, great to see the project moving forward.

Saw the programme - very good in fact; those guys have put in a major amount of effort and they are well worth supporting...

[Broithe]

Most impressive.

[Warbonnet]

Definitely deserves to be supported. Must get over to Boyle some time.

Sounds too much like a Susan Boyle love making situation to me man, the horror!

 

Sounds like a plan. Need to get up to Downpatrick one of these days too!

[jhb171achill]

Good thinking, Warbonnet. You'll be made welcome at the Downs of Patrick.........

Cheers man, will you have the kettle on?

[irishrail201]

I admire the enthusiasm and support

 

But will they ever pay back the loans? I hope so....but

[Kirley]

My only regret is they did not model "Irish Railways" that would have put it on a must see list for me.

Yes its a pity its not in Irish

A glance at their Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boyle-Model-Railway/376416649140480 - suggests that it might currently only be open on Fridays - 10 until 4 - although other times may be possible by prior arrangement...

[WRENNEIRE]

Got this a week or so ago

Hopefully he will not mind me posting here

I can manage 6 in the car plus myself if anyone fancies a jant?

 

Hi Dave,

[Warbonnet]

Yep, Thursdays are good for me.

Well worth the watch - they did very well for 8 weeks!
