IRM Tours

[GNRi1959]

If you’re ever in the Omagh area anyone on this forum is welcome to visit for a cup if tea and tour of the new garden shed, home of everything Irish GNRi.

IRM tours?

Now that's an idea, after the successful visit by some of us to the Downs of Patrick a few years ago.

A visit to Tony, plus maybe Donegal Railway Museum?  Or Headhunters in Enniskillen?

Moderators - maybe something worth considering?

JB, I would probably wait until there something to see first! Today sees the finish of the landscaping around the shed while inside I have started to scratch build my wagons. I'm in no hurry to either build baseboards yet or lay track, that come in January I think.

We'd probably be thinking well ahead anyway, Tony! In any event, a tour of your area would be of great interest anyway, with those lovely bridges to explore on the Omagh - Strabane section.....

Its sounds like a good idea American modelers (Worldwide) and other "special interest" groups tend to stay in touch through conventions (hiring a hall and layout tours) rather than attending exhibitions. There seems to be enough good layouts and modelling interest to support IRN Conventions in the Ulster, Leinster & Cork. Conventions are aimed at the modeler rather than the general public and usually include trade stands, workshops,, layout tours and visits to preserved lines/railway workshops.
