i got jealous, all the layouts there had a class 111

[enterprise207]

Surprised no-one mentioned that loco depot layout... thought it was excellent! Old Blarney was probably my favourite though...

 

yes it goes to shoe that a layout doesn't have to be big to be great!

[BosKonay]

Wow! Any more photos?

 

We truly are in a golden age!

Great photographs of the layouts Kirley. There were some excellent looking layouts on display. It's good to see that everyone had a great day out. Well done to all concerned.

 

Rich,

Sorry I missed you yesterday. In regard to layouts, it's a matter of personal choice, what was the name of the Loco Depot Layout you admired?

Yeah it's a pity I don't even think it had a name, but it was beside the shunting puzzle layout. Mostly English locos but 112 was going back and forth as well.

Sorry about the quality of the pics as the lighting in Cultra was very poor for taking photographs.

Thanks for the photos Kirley and Anthony. It was a great show - my first time attending, but it won't be the last! Great to finally meet some of the people off this site - greetings to you all.

anto, what ha[ppened to the cab side of B113?

 

Seamus its a mixture of the way the light is reflecting off the cab and a little bit of buckling due to rust and a ton of isopon.

The fact it sat in the open for far too long allowing the weather to take its toll was no help , i had a close look at her yesterday there is a lot of rust and buckling at both ends i am really surprised she made it up here in one piece but for the fact the chassis is a very solid structure.A great day at Cultra and a pleasure to meet David (DK Modeller) and get a look at the lay-outs which were brilliant. Pics 3 to 6 cant do justice to the model of Inchicore shed complete with locos.The model is in a case surrounded by a very thick perspex and the light was,nt working which may or may not have helped as Anthony says about the general lighting its beyond pathetic its criminal. I had a long chat with an employee of the museum and he said he will talk to the curator as he had numerous comments and all negative about the lack of lighting . Any ways those who made it enjoyed it and those who did,nt should try the next time.
