C'est incredible. This should be on public display running trains somewhere like the Fry collection museum in Malahide. While on a different planet as regards scale realism compared to the old O gauge layout, it does have echos of the old castle layout with its elevated city sections. I don't know if this layout is transportable, but it would be a great shame if it could not be exhibited somewhere to the public one day. Words are not adequate to describe this layout's merits.

Final section completed of the overheads on barrow street.

[Midland Man]

looks class 

[warb]

Falling back on other jobs which required works to the rear extensions of island villa houses on barrow street

[Midland Man]

I use to live in Dublin in house like that reminded me of it so bad. Keep it going.

[popeye]

Fantastic, are you doing all of Dublin?  

[warb]

Feels like it at times

Working on the rest of rostrevor court/island villas and maken street flats

Yet again, this has me absolutely speechless. I've known this area well since the early 1960s. Your model - it seems inadequate to call it a "model" or a "layout" just sucks me (and others here, I know) right back to those days... pint in Becky Morgans, anyone?

[warb]

On My way

[warb]

Back in time

[JasonB]

Love it. Oozes mid 90's. 

[David Holman]

Fab.

[warb]

Detail slowly being added to barrow street.

[Warbonnet]

Most productive lockdown ever! Stunning man, just stunning! 

[Midland Man]

Looks exellent.

[David Holman]

Oh dear, seem to be dribbling again!

All about the Padraig Pearse now

More minor work to barrow street

[David Holman]

Lockdown working well it seems? All clouds have silver linings and Barrow Street is one of them!

[Patrick Davey]

Has to be 'Irish Layout of the Decade'.

Would love a video tour of this incredible creation, as well as cab rides on the trains!

Has to be a candidate for a magazine article - and interview with the creator!

 

[NIR]

Yep, before I knew where it was... I knew where it was.

[scahalane]

Looking Fab. The detail is really starting to bring it to life.

[popeye]

All the little details bring this to life, i could look at this for hours.

Stunning 

[David Holman]

Definitely worth a second, third, etc look. Just noticed the bilingual control panel. Class,

I worked in an office in the area for a year or two before departing for New Zealand and explored the area between Grand Canal Dock and Pearse Station during lunch time walks, the residential side streets between Pearse Street & Grand Canal Street tended to be eerily quiet with little pedestrian traffic during the daytime almost like todays lockdown. 

The authentic street signs, street furniture and billboards cry out Dublin City in the early 21st Century 

[warb]

Another small bit done adding detail to the layout

[David Holman]

Beautifully observed.

[burnthebox]

This layout puts a whole new meaning to the words: ATTENTION TO DETAIL maybe one day I’ll get a closer view, HERES wishing, TOTALLY AWSOME

[warb]

Still messing around with detailing
