NIR Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Compound off Alexandra Road, Dublin Port 400 feet long Inglenook with sector plate entry and 'piano line' exit, allows working through to some other facility Edited April 30, 2020 by NIR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIR Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) On Alexandra Road, Dublin Port 400 feet long Timesaver with 'piano line' exit from upper turnout, no kickback so no loop required... maybe reverse lower turnout to a kickback and mimic a loop offscene to the right using a traverser Edited September 14, 2020 by NIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbhin Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Youghal station and beach. On 400 feet you can depict the now closed old station of Youghal. ireland - Google Maps.pdf I hope this is a right way of doing this. Tried to add a picture to the post.

NIR Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Cork Albert Quay, as truncated headshunt Natural inglenook with the perfect scenic break, lots of back and forth with Cs and baby GMs, stock old and new ...or maybe a 'reverse inglenook', a scenic traverser leading more immediately onto a longer headshunt Michael H C Baker/The Railway Magazine, May 1975 Edited September 15, 2020 by NIR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) St John's Mill siding south of Enniscorthy would make a compact enough little layout... the IRRS journal did a feature on it a few issues back. Edit: issue in question is actually available here as a sample: http://irishrailarchives.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/IRRS_J192_2017_February_sample.pdf Edited September 14, 2020 by Niles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Baltimore, Co. Cork, Valentia Harbour, Co. Kerry and Westport Quay, Co Mayo are all perfect for a small terminus. There's even scope for a passenger train in all three - albeit a prototypically small one. And if the line leaves the station and disappears into an Albert Quay-like cutting........perfect. Two engines, half a dozen goods vans, an open wagon or two, a bogie coach and a tin van, and you're good to go!
