IRISH RAILWAYS My particular interest in Irish Railway modelling centres around Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), with a few items of Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) and Bord na Móna. I built one layout sometime ago called Dunmore & Fidlin, which is a fiddle yard to station to fiddle yard layout, based around a fictitious station somewhere in north Dublin in the late 1970's. The layout is built to 'OO' gauge standards. Dunmore & Fidlin has attended a number of exhibitions and did appear as Railway of the Month in the December 1996 edition of Railway Modeller. I am now working on a second layout, but this time it is to a more accurate standard. The new layout is called Templeross and is being built to 21mm gauge P4 standards and will feature a small Bord na Móna 3ft gauge section . The best way to approach this rather large subject is to break it all down into sections, so just click on the link you are interested in.
