    In two more days, it will be exactly 150 years since my maternal great-grandmother set foot on US soil. The family came here from County Wexford.

    Hi Cathal, Welcome. Happy to have you on board. I would be interested in seeing photos of your Irish Rail modeling. My son enjoyed living in Carrickfergus for 3-4 years, returning to the States in 2009.

    Welcome to the boards. I have no connection to Ireland other than I sailed past it once. :D

    Sure and welcome aboard, Cathal! With a last name like mine you can figure out where my ancestors came to America from.

    Greetings, welcome aboard, Cathal.
    Would love to see some photos of your layout sometime. Do you model modern settings, or steam era?

    The year when the famous Tehachapi Loop was completed, am I right? ;)

    ... And welcome Cathal.

    Never been yet in Rory Gallagher's country, but I'm still hoping one of these days... ;)

    1866? Not sure when Tehachapi was built, but this date is several years before the so-called "transcontinental" line was completed.
