enniscorthyman Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I had posted some of these photos on the old site,so here is the full lot of photos of a friends layout based on Killurin Co Wexford.Some of the photos are a bit blurry and the running order is bit all over the place. Enjoy- Quote
Sulzer201 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Eamonn thanks for re-posting, you could never get tired of looking at layouts of this class and standard. I love the ballast train and ploughvan, the Generator on the craven set and the executive coaches. The scenery and the harbour are brilliantly detailed and add to an overall top rate layout. Your friend must be very proud of his work. Quote
BosKonay Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 This layout has such a warm, late summers glow to it - highly evocative, stunning attention to detail!! Thanks for the post Eamonn!! Gets the inspiration fires burning! Quote
Broithe Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks for the post Eamonn!! People say that to him all the time - except when he brings bills.... Quote

Thanks for the post Eamonn!! Gets the inspiration fires burning! It sure does inspire me,especially at some stage to have a layout as nice as this. Quote
Weshty Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Lovely, gentle layout. And great use of backdrops and trees to soften the corners. The bridge is a well selected centrepoint. Quote
jhb171achill Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Wow! Fantastic modelling, extremely atmospheric..... Now back to the holiday home in courttown harbour....! Quote
Kirley Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks Eamonn for posting and please thank your mystery friends for a view of his layout. At this level of standard he should be posting himself and giving us the benefit of his modelling skills. Quote
heirflick Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 a pure inspiration to us all...thanks eam for posting:tumbsup: Quote
Glenderg Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 What a fabulous layout Eamonn. Rural and urban no problem. I'm really impressed by the small detail all over the place, especially the two different types of ballast brake wagon on the PW train. It looks about 20' x 12' in size. Just for pig iron, what size is it? Love the incline joining the mainline, really well done all over the shop. Richie. Quote

I have no idea the size Richie,the owner is a member on this site,and I was onto him last night to take a bow.Some aspects of the layout were not shown,but can be seen on my YouTube Page.

enniscorthyman Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 I gave my Beet and Cement trains a run on The Deeps during the week and here are a few shots I took.The Beet wagons are Shapeways on modified prestwins,and the cements are Irish Freight Models kits on Dapol chassis. Quote
BosKonay Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Lively faded paintwork on the beets! Any chance of video? Great shots! Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Lovely modelling, I think this is my favourite irish themed layout. Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 That's got to be one of the "atmospheric" layouts I've ever seen. Truly excellent stuff. Even railway content apart (which, in itself is absolutely top class), the scenery and setting is a real work of art. Love the weathering on everything, very realistic. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Lively faded paintwork on the beets! Any chance of video? Great shots! I did take a short video,but cant seem to be able to upload to photobucket via phone. However a few years ago- And a bit in on this video there is more of The Deeps.

Kinvara-Train Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Hi , I love your Lake , the Water is very clear, thanks for the Pic,s Walter Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Very realistic looking well done Eamonn-looking great. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 This is one really lovely looking layout with superb scenery.The stock on show just compliments it totally,a real throwback to how our railways once were.Superb modelling Quote
enniscorthyman Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 I was down to run my 001 and 11 cement wagons on this nice layout last night. Here are a few photos- Quote
burnthebox Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Very, very nice, thanks for posting those pics, Quote
RedRich Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Excellent Eamonn, the models and the layout compliment each other perfectly. Nice job on the wagons BTW. Rich, Quote
Sulzer201 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Great stuff Eamonn, a fab train on a superb layout. Love the pic of 001 passing the level crossing the whole scene is just classic. Quote
Kirley Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Great pictures of the layout and models Eamonn. Quote
heirflick Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 001 is the dogs Eamonn - the working headlights make her look the part. were they hard to rig up? Quote
enniscorthyman Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 Glad ye like the photos guys. The headlights are not to bad to wire up Shem. You follow the standard wiring for directional lighting. The main problem I found is light bleed around the headlamp area.I built up a small box of plasticard around the headlamp area and painted it black.It is possible to do the pilot lights as working as well, however I have not gone down this road yet. Quote
BosKonay Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Absolutely brilliant! Those wagons look the business as does 001!! Quote
Dave Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 That 001 looks brilliant, the lights really set it off. Looks at home on the layout. Superb! Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Great shots of lovely models. The photies really capture the scene well. Quote
33lima Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 Great pics of a gorgeous layout. A little slice of Irish railways and countryside brought to life, and a fine model of 001 at the head of a good rake of authentic wagons rumbling through it; it's all there. Top notch stuff. This should be in a railway mag, if it hasn't already been. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 I am glad people like this layout so much.I enjoy my visits to see It every so often, and as my own layout is in bits at the moment I love giving my own rolling stock a run.The owner and builder Paddy -Well done. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Finally got a chance to upload a bit of video as well from my visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkZVDr4UTi4&list=UUoUgfyFH9GGyGyc10Go4nYA Quote
RedRich Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Eamonn as enjoyable and welcome as the photos always are, nothing beats a nice video clip showing the models doing their thing. I enjoyed that. Rich, Quote
