ie 201 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, Im currently planning my new layout based on a number of locations in Munster, Glounthaune co.Cork for my main station, Waterford West yard for my fiddle yard and Cork kent's loco shed for the loco area. Ive approximately 5m x 4m in my loft for the layout. Currently im building up my stock thanks to murphys models although i ve sold of some my non era stock, i ll be basing my layout on the era from 2000 on loco wise but i ll be leaving out the railcars leaving the 141's & cravens to do most of the passenger work. Stock to date 10 x 141/181 10 x 201's 1 x 071 1 x 001 Passenger 2 x mk3 Intercity rakes 2 x Cravens rakes 1 x Rpsi mk 2 1 x mk 2 rake 1 x mk 2a/c rake Freight Cement bubbles Beet wagons Timber bogies Container rake oil rake In the next few months they ll be a few additions namely a few 071's, mk 3 suburban, weedsprayer,autoballaster and some scratchbuilt spoil wagons.

davep101 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sounds good, I'm currently planning an Irish n scale layout, sorting the stock is the biggest pain! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunslet 102 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Certainly sounds like a large undertaking IE201,it will certainly keep you busy over the coming months.I like the idea of incorporating real different locations into one working model,it is always good to copy the prototype into a model without trying to recreate it exactly.There are a couple of other Irish layouts based on a similar theme in the layout topics forum on here.One is Amiens Street by McC (Stephen from Dublin) and the other is my own Belfast Great Victoria Street.It is good to see more promotion of Irish layouts. Your stock fleet is impressive also,a good mix between freight and passenger. Look forward to progress updates and photos over the coming months.
