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. 3 Quote

jhb171achill Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 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? 1 Quote

David Holman Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Lockdown working well it seems? All clouds have silver linings and Barrow Street is one of them! Quote
Patrick Davey Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 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! 5 Quote
NIR Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Yep, before I knew where it was... I knew where it was. Quote
scahalane Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Looking Fab. The detail is really starting to bring it to life. Quote

David Holman Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Definitely worth a second, third, etc look. Just noticed the bilingual control panel. Class, 1 Quote

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 Quote
warb Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 Another small bit done adding detail to the layout 9 8 Quote
