Goods Yard

[GNRi1959]

Would anyone make a stab at the value of this model - I mean, if I were to sell to a local historical society, with all rolling stock and two OO Works locos?

Don't post here but please PM.

Suggest that the local Council or library might be interested in this superb model.

One potential buyer declined because they did not have the space to store it.

The local library are exhibing the model over the month of February, the 55th anniversary of closure of the GNRi at Omagh. They are currently sourcing a lockable glass display case from the various branches to secure it.

Omagh Goods Yard has been purchased by Headhunters Museum, Enniskillen and will be in permanent display there from Tuesday of this coming week. The model will be displayed with a range of GN rolling stock.

Congratulations and well done Tony. Persistence, vision and skill Paid off.

Just a pity that the Western Library services with their HQ in Omagh could not find the money to keep the model of Omagh station in Omagh.

The problem with Omagh library is that their exhibitions and displays run for a short period and are replaced throughout the year. Headhunters provide a permanent, safe home. This will kick-start my N-gauge(non-irish) layout plans.

Nice one. Well done Tony.

A very fine layout indeed. Sorry to see it go but glad it has a permanent home. Well done, sir!
