Scenes my dad was familiar with but I never saw. Lovely stuff, Kirley.

Another vote of thanks from Drumkeeran Road. Great show.

Excellent. They are huge things - not exactly your 8 ton box van!

Very nice indeed. That station segment has a clear look of Omagh about it

This is brill stuff. Could I be a pain and ask which RM it was please ? Looks an ideal project for TTN3 - if I can turn out anything half as good as this!

That’s fantastic - thank you! I have scratch built in brass in 7mm but am now trying my hand at 3mm scale narrow gauge plastic locos so a big change. This is really helpful - thanks for taking time to give such a comprehensive reply. David

Hello - lovely work! Just picking up from another thread - what thickness of plasticard have you used when building in the past ? Thanks

The publishers are the sole distributor afaik. If they don’t have it, it’ll be waiting for s h copies on the likes of ABE Books I expect.

Looks great, having lived beside Larne line from 71-89. Can’t imagine what the inspiration for Whiterock is

Late to this party (remember social gatherings?) but this little loco is lovely. It’s almost as if Hudswell Clarke made the Lough Swilly a shunter out of spares from the big tanks !

Hello - I have three Peco 009 turnouts to lay. Normally a 7mm modeller, I know how to set up a switched frog. But I’m struggling here! Do I simply solder a wire to the frog and then add that to my SEEP PM1 micro switch? Is there anything else I need to do - I’m used to cutting gaps and soldering bridging wires etc but the Peco instructions are most vague! thank you in anticipation - David (ps visual aids much appreciated to bolster any explanation!)

Valve gear, coal and dirt added. Sorry about the cotton wool ‘steam’. I just couldn’t help myself.

I’m no good at computer smoke. Is old fashioned cotton wool allowed ?

Really really nice work. These are iconic things and you have got them just right .
