I have a soft spot for Irish Railways, my other half is from that fair Isle. Her home town has a long closed railway station and a long time ago I took some photos before the inevitable happened and it was redeveloped. However, it is still very easy to follow the route of this long closed branch and a lot of the infrastructure still exists.
I digress, this layout , Valencia Harbour by Andy Cundick, captures perfectly the bleakness of many Irish branch lines and also uses my much favoured Worsley Works products. One of the locos is a widened gauge Hornby Jinty.
This well thought out industrial siding captures real atmosphere and demonstrates that the same amount of room needed for O gauge can be fitted into an OO gauge space.
Thanks to the Swindon Club for an excellent show with a tasty Ploughmans Lunch and the coffee was also excellent.
