Yes, maybe some of the plans need 25% more space (or more) than drawn, but Freezer's plans are still interesting. They're from a different age, but increasingly I think a more fun one. 

Did Rice ever do any Irish plans? Actually, I picked up his Light Railway Design volume at an exhibition last weekend. For the grand total of two quid! Bargain of the year! 

 

Thanks Mol, that's fascinating. The use of the pilot would make for a very interesting model. Particularly if trains arrive and depart from a different platform.

Rice did, I posted his plan (image from David) of Westport Quay above!

Sorry, I missed the crucial word "other" out from my question. What an idiot I am

Not sure to be honest! But a great many of his plans could easily be utilised with a change here and there to represent an Irish scene

Iain Rice also drew up a version of Minories that I always thought looked slightly more rural so probably better suited to an Irish location.

That said opting for something based on Galway or Sligo would be better as you would have real trains to model and a working timetable to work from.

I did explore the possibility of building Sligo in 2mm scale a while ago. The idea still appeals.

The first page or so looks at the possibility Sligo offers.
