Hello!
Some lovely images there, thank you! The Irish Lines would make for a good photographic contest (or just a joint gallery) sometime - I can't think of anyone on here who specifically models Irish stuff, but I think a lot of us have aspects of the atmosphere...
There's a great story behind it on this Wiki page, which also has the lyrics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_Ye_Ri ... re_Michael
Enjoy!
Andrew.

Lovely! I wonder if a similar song has been or will be composed about the Peckforton Light Railway?

Those lyrics bring to mind that wonderful film Oh! Mr Porter - Will Hay at his finest.Andrew wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 1:57 pm Hello!
