First layout in 25 years

[richrua]

Hello all. I finally made a little bit of scenery in the corner. I have no irish stock yet so my 30 year old br stuff is enjoying a run around. !

Looks great can't wait to see more. You are in front of me by a fare way. I haven't even laid track.

Can't wait to see more progress. Best of luck and keep the photos coming.

The trains finally get some exercise after being in a box for about 25 years. These were my first trains. Santa got me the little 0-4-0 when I was a[video=youtube_share;_T80QP5XWdc]http://youtu.be/_T80QP5XWdc bout 7.

This will be tasty as it develop,s, At least after 25 years you have

a huge variety of irish rolling stock now to choose from!!

Thanks everyone. My younger son is also enjoying this new (for him) hobby.

 

I know, there is an amazing range of Irish railway stock now. It is actually what is spurring me on I think! I do still have plenty of old Hornby buildings, platforms and some nice BR locos from my young fella days, but I dont want to get rid of them so I am just going to blend them in!

 

I got three BR mark 2 coaches from ebay for a song with the intention of spraying orange and black, but I am not sure if they are the right type of mark 2 ... didn't realise there were 2a 2b 2c 2d ... oh well

just trying to figure out how to get the photos from my phone the right way up !

Hi Richrua, import the pictures to your pc then edit them and post them up from your pc.

Apples can be 'wierd' about orientation, I find if you put the phone sideways / landscape mode, then the pics come out the right way up

A multicultural variety of rolling stock, but sometimes you just have to watch the trains go by... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znwLx64k_2M&feature=youtube_gdata_playerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znwLx64k_2M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Coming on great!! Lovely selection of stock too

[irishthump]

Wow! Really flying along now!

 

And remember run what you want, it's YOUR railway!

[richrua]

thanks lads. Apart from the Irish locos the stock is all years old. As are the buildings - cant reallly justify replacing them at the mo . Oh ... and that big tornado loco and pullmans were going cheap in argos and i just couldnt resist. . .

 

I am gradually replacing the steel track. The new track is such an improvement - seems to conduct so well.

 

I am nearly settled on the track layout now. . . trial and error.
