Tarabuses Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I see that Joe Duffy will be helping the men of Boyle to build a model railway in this week's programme. http://www.rte.ie/ten/listings/32179920_tv_Local_Heroes Quote
irishrail201 Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 will it really attract families on day trips to boyle? Me don't think so! Get the fry model railway back running again!!!! Quote
irishthump Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Was I imagining things or did I see Joe Duffy in the Stillorgan Park hotel a couple of weeks back. Quote
Blaine Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Was I imagining things or did I see Joe Duffy in the Stillorgan Park hotel a couple of weeks back. Doubtful, have seen him at most exhibitions over the last few years Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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. Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Was I imagining things or did I see Joe Duffy in the Stillorgan Park hotel a couple of weeks back. My PR email into Liveline must've worked then. Send the cheque on to me Dave... Known to have a diecast fire engine collection. Quote
Dave Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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. I am going up in August, I will be on holidays not too far away. Quote
Kirley Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks for the link Dave, great to see the project moving forward. Quote
jhb171achill Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Saw the programme - very good in fact; those guys have put in a major amount of effort and they are well worth supporting... Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Definitely deserves to be supported. Must get over to Boyle some time. Quote

Warbonnet Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 You mean up to Boyle Maybe get something organised to meet up and go up on the train some day Bud:tumbsup: 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! Quote

irishrail201 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I admire the enthusiasm and support But will they ever pay back the loans? I hope so....but Quote
Kirley Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 My only regret is they did not model "Irish Railways" that would have put it on a must see list for me. Quote
Dave Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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 Quote
Broithe Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 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... Quote
