I just came across this. I don't know how many of you have seen this before but it's a great looking layout.

Wow that is lovely. great attention to detail like the canopy brackets and pats takeaway! i'm really taken by the bogie beet wagons with the little side door in the corner - what stable are they from? droolfest, watched it a few times....

Guy being interviewed was Wayne Thomas from the Wexford MRC, terrific modeler

The vid is from their trip to Warley some years ago

I think this layout has been scrapped

Lovely!

I always cry a little inside when I hear the phrase 'layout was scrapped'

The Wexford boys have been really good in capturing the character of the South East with several excellent layouts since the early 1980s.

 

Johnnie Walker was one of the first to model a railway in a distinctively Irish landscape complete with scratchbuilt buildings and Waterford area steam locos and rolling stock mainly in plasticard on Airfix (GMR) & Hornby chassis.

I was offered this layout when it was in the clubroom in an old church. By the time the club moved to the new clubroom

it seemed to have disappeared, terrible shame as it was one of the best Irish outline layouts at the time.

That is a class layout. What with the music at the start, I almost expected Michael Portillo to pop out all miniaturised a la Bernard Cribbins.

 

Very impressed by the embankment up the back of the station with posts and fencing and long grass (0:36). Great attention to detail, and even the road and surrounding houses look "right".

This was one of the first layouts I ever saw, used to be fascinated by it as a kid when it was shown at the Gorey Summer Fair during the late 90s.
