LARNE CABIN Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Wonderful video, just love the interaction between model and reality! Well done both big and wee Tony. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your NCC Diorama at Whitehead on 9th Patrick. Loved your GNRI Waiting Shed and Signal Box, reminded me of my childhood days at Tandragee, and now an inspiration for getting me started on Larne Harbour, now that I am living in Larne! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debrawenlock Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Dave from Stradbally has built the baseboard for his new model railway layout. It will be inside this attache case. He plans to complete it and display it at RPSI Whitehead Model Railway Day on Saturday 9th November 2019. Get cracking Dave! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debrawenlock Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Guinness 3BG was built in 1919 for shunting Ireland's largest privately owned broad gauge industrial system, the world famous Dublin brewery. This locomotive became the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland's first preserved locomotive, being presented to the Society in 1965. The Dublin brewery operated an extensive 1'10" gauge system within the complex with broad gauge locos being used to transfer traffic from there to Kingsbridge (now Heuston) Station for onward transhipment. This 100 year old locomotive will be in steam and hauling train rides at Whitehead Railway Museum's Model Railway Day on Saturday 9th November 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm painting my new baseboards for my Tinplate Clockwork layout. Full size diesels and carriages are having the finishing touches applied too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debrawenlock Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Ian Sinclair takes a quick rest before setting up 'Dunster'- the OO gauge layout he built with his son. The layout will be on show along with over 30 others this Saturday 9th Nov 2019 at Whitehead Railway Museum, County Antrim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debrawenlock Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Whitehead Model Railway Day this Saturday will have layouts to appeal to all age groups. The wooden train is small. The tanker wagon is far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRi1959 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Very good day today at Whitehead, very wet and cold! Really enjoyed few minutes I had with Patrick, Gerry, Michael and Charles Friel. The wide range of models and various gauges inspired me. Glad I journeyed out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debrawenlock Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 A few snaps from yesterday's Whitehead Model Railway Day. I arrived with my clockwork engines but forgot to bring a key to wind them up! Luckily the RPSI sales stand had a Meccano clockwork motor and key which was swiftly purchased. Problem solved. A great fun show despite the terrible wet weather. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARNE CABIN Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Just one word to describe these layouts, 'awesome', truly inspirational! Arrived very late due to horrible weather so didn't get a chance to speak to a few people I wanted to speak to. Also, my CO who doesn't understand the fascination of 'trains' was waiting for me! Just loved Portadown. Saw it at Cultra last year and could have spent all day on that layout alone. Well done to all exhibitors. Just fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
