Noel Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Two intrepid modelling travellers made a pilgrimage to Wexford last week to receive a guided tour of four stunning layouts. We were treated to multiple stock operations on the layouts. A huge thank you to 'Irishrailwayman' for his hospitality and showing two visitors some of his wonderful layouts. Llangollen - N gauge - After seeing this stunning layout and its incredible detail I was won over to N gauge. Llangollen - N gauge - There is so much detail your eyes almost miss it. For example the kayakers in the river, the insides of buildings, drapes, curtains and roller blinds, the roof detail, weeds, weathering, it is a master class. The road traffic can changed to match the period of railway stock from 1930s right up to the 00s. Cynwyd - N gauge - West country BR scenes right up my street. Just reeking of the 1950s, and a GWR pannier tank to push me off my perch. Ballybeg - Stunning scene outside a country pub - the placement and use of figures makes it totally realistic and alive Ballybeg - Lock scene of a summers day - again this layout is alive with model humans doing real life. Amazing! Ballybeg - Signal box - wow, one working and one looking on as the kettle boils on the stove Ballybeg - Beautiful B101 running with stunning DCC sound chip (similar to BR class 24 engine) Thank you Gerry for your time and hospitality. Your work is totally inspiring. Edited July 21, 2017 by Noel 2

DiveController Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Beautiful layout, Gerry! Can't believe there have been only two replies to this thread in as many days Well done, Noel, for posting
Noel Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 Beautiful layout, Gerry! Can't believe there have been only two replies to this thread in as many days Well done, Noel, for posting Hi Kevin. It was a real privilege to see these layouts up close and operating. I understand Llangollen was recently exhibited in Wales. Noel
Barl Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks for posting the pictures of such great layouts Noel, they are a hive of activity even without the trains running
