This group aims to be a clearing house for all sorts of information relating to any and all of the old Irish three foot gauge railways. Primarily aimed at modellers the group also welcomes non-modelling enthusiasts. There is absolutely no restriction relating to modelling scale or preferred prototype. Whether your interest lies in the West Clare in 1:20.3, the Tralee and Dingle in 1/4" scale, the Swilly in Nn3, or simply the Irish narrow gauge in general, this is the place. Locomotives, rolling stock, signalling, buildings, right-of-way, timetables, whatever - all are fair game for discussion!

Once an under-served area for the modeller and historian, there is now an increasing amount of information available on the various Irish narrow gauge lines – as can be seen by following some of the discussion posted in the couple of railway or scale specific groups that do exist. This forum, unrestricted by scale or company, offers a venue for enthusiasts reluctant to join a more specifically targeted group.

Those special interest groups that already exist do a terrific job. The goal of this group is to complement their efforts and neither compete with nor detract from their role.

If you are new to the group, in order that we can welcome you properly please feel free to post a quick 'Hello'!
