@stevewalker I am in south Leitrim, so 70/80 miles from Ballyshannon. I don't know how well you know the area, but there are plenty of places round here to visit - Arigna Mining Museum, Lough Key Forest Park, Carrick-on-Shannon. Then in Enniskillen, there is a model shop, 'Modellers Corner', but he does not have a huge range of 'n' in stock.

Same applies at our local airport-Newquay.
Generally regarded as a rip off.

This stopped at Easter.

I have been charge fees for entering counties in the past.

Even third world countries like Wales!

EDIT: Just realised you said counties, not countries. Oh well.

"Even third world countries like Wales!"

Appreciate that last sentence is light hearted and said in jest, Trainfish.

But just wonder, as it could be construed by some as being provocative, whether it's something better said in your pub (whilst imbibing your favourite IPA) than commiting to print!

The whole post came across as condescending and rude.

Obviously said in jest and I won't lose any sleep over following comments.

EDIT: Just realised my edit of the Wales post was above the original post. Maybe that's what confused people. Now corrected.

We finally got around to visiting the Arigna Mining Experience on our latest trip over, last week. It is indeed an interesting place. Thanks for that.
