Look at http://www.bns.ie

I've seen the layout myself and it looks fantastic when it is being operated. I am sure it will create a huge amount of interest to the people that attend. Hopefully it may fuel or re-awaken interest and bring some new members to the hobby and the group. Best of luck with it.

Rich,

Lines of goods vans like that... A necessary but often missing detail in some layouts... Well done for capturing the atmosphere so well.

That is great news and just confirms the quality of build on these babies. Nice one.

I wonder what the expected life would be, out of interest? If you were running an automated display, for example, at what point would the locos 'keel over' barring routine maintenance and care... Wonder what 'special tweaks' the lads at the likes of Miniatur Wunderland use..

Hi everyone,

Had a very busy morning yesterday a group of special needs children visited Santa who were so interested in the train setup especially a young boy who lives close to the train station in Athenry and knew the Galway -Dublin timetable by heart and knew the various engines i.e.141,161,201,072,plus mk2+mk3 coaches what an impressive young chap he knows more than I do on Irish trains the visit ended with a rousing sing song of Christmas songs with Santa and Mrs Claus and even I joined in .A memorable Day:banana:

With pre Christmas Greetings

Walter
