Railer Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Wow, Really love the old Boston sidings and the Inspection car. You really captured the look of the place and surrounding area. Almost surreal, really amazing work. And the Trinity College new Bioscience building still a construction site. I actually worked in fitting out some of those floors haha.

iarnrod Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) That's pure class. Love it. Work close to there, and that's an amazingly good resemblance to that stretch of track alright. Edited April 20, 2018 by iarnrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 From an architectural point of view, the capture of the buildings is stonking good. The trackwork even could pass for 21mm. I'm only looking at this on mobile, but I'm goddamened looking forward to seeing it on the big screen when I get home. This is epic good, and deserves a spread in a magazine. Love the fart box too! 😆 Richie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iarnrod Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Love the photo of the blocks of flats. Such a Dublin design that you can't but identify where it is set. For me, this is the best Irish layout I've seen to date. The modelling is absolutely sublime. Be interested in finding out how long this took to build, considering its large size.

Mayner Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Wow! I heard rumors about the successor project to Greystones several years ago. If anything you have raised the standard of urban modelling even higher, its been well worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!

jhb171achill Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Warb, I am speechless. How has this one remained secret! Your layout is among the top masterpieces I've ever seen. An urban setting is rarely done with convincing scenery. Everything about that - the setting, proportions, atmosphere and accuracy is absolutely top class. Well done! Maybe more about your locos and stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 WOW! Would love to see a layout plan. Please tell us more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc0169 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Superb modelling-one of the best and most detailed layouts I have ever seen-a few of the ECM produced DART units would finish this scene off very well. Looking forward to more updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
