Popular Post enniscorthyman Posted April 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2019 Bog Road Level Crossing was the last LC before Youghal,on the Cobh Junction-Youghal line.This layout will be on show at the Wexford Model Railway clubs Easter show this Weekend.The layout is based on the photo in the background,taken in summer of 1978,just before the regular goods trains ceased.I plan to run sound chipped A and C class as well as a 141.Thanks to Richard Wall for the photo. 17 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan8056 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 It is a case of great minds think alike. I have just been finishing an article on how I modelled Bog Road, which I aim to send to New Irish Lines. A picture is attached. 13 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galteemore Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Love this! Was back in Ireland last week and showed my Dad the pics without telling him where the model was of. Straight away he said ‘Youghal branch ‘! Great model 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holman Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Love the black and white pictures too. Have often pondered the idea of doing a layout this way - for one thing the name would easy, it would have to be Monachrome. Even sounds Irish. On one level, it is merely a different case of 50 shades of grey (!); however, the biggest problem is foliage, as I've yet to find any source of static grass fibres or scenic foam. One day maybe and until then maybe we should follow Eamonn's lead and try photographing our own layouts in black and white? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Now, who has got twelve of our double beets? Ah, Mr R - and bought two years ago at Blackrock - nice work - it is gratifying to see the wagons in use - THANKS!! Like Noel, I loved the overall scene.

GNRi1959 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 My attic is a cut roof with tons of space but the previous owner thought it a good idea to relocate the trap door to the back bedroom and I've no plans to start climbing in and out of there. My next project, if I ever start, will be an n gauge layout! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I love that layout - a little cameo. It absolutely oozes atmosphere. The weathering on the tatty oul hut is very realistic and really adds atmosphere..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Man Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hi Enniscorthy man Class Layout. Are the level crossing gates sudeo scale model kits or are they scratch built and what is the length of the layout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi the LC gates are scratch built with parts from IFM kit.The layout is 8 x 3 roughly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi there lovely layout. just wondering what radius of curve you are using on this layout as I am also trying to build into very limited space and this isnt a million miles away from the space ive got available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sean,from memory I used a mixture of 3rd radius set track and Peco flex track.It was a problem as I have two bridges on either side of layout and it took some trial and error as eventuality I got a mk3 coach to fit with little to spare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind if it looked crap going around it as the curve would be mostly hidden as long as it did actually safely go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I could have used 1st radius but use whatever makes life easier for you.For the space I had to work with I wanted a nice gradual curve.As my layout was constructed to fit in my car,it was difficult enough to get everything to fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
