This is my 7th year on Facebook as BMR! Thank you all for your continuing support. I felt so supported by your comments, advice and your feedback on my videos! I hope you like this one of a test run on the mid level station.🙏🤗🎉

Look , Santa. See what your efforts have accomplished! Well done Sir, well done!

We were delighted to be able to contribute €305 to North Tipperary Hospice

This was the proceeds of the donations from our families that visited Santa at the recent Ballinderry Christmas Markets.This great organisation provides a great service for cancer patients and their families.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2025 from all in Ballinderry Development Association🌲🙏

Friends, colleagues, Believers in Freedom and Liberty,

Let it not be said that we stood idle while a man who believed in the values he lived by and wanted for his country and its people died either directly or indirectly at the hands of a monster regime led by totalitarian mass murderer.
Please sign this petition so those Russians who stand against what Russia is doing to its citizens and those of Ukraine and elsewhere know that they are not alone in their struggle, which they must carry on themselves. Please click here and sign.

Your courage is beyond words. It is the courage that all dictators fear most, the courage that inspires people to rise up against tyranny.

We won't be able to open over the Christmas holiday as there is a major extension being added in the form of a new large station. However, the videowill give a flavour of the new night lighting effect which will also be ready for launch in 2020. Happy Christmas and New Year to all our supporters and visitors!

Well, summer holidays are nearing an end, so we will be changing our opening times to people to allow for more work to be done on the layout. Fixed time openings will end tomorrow, Saturday 24th August at 5pm. However, anyone who wishes to visit the layout may give me a call on 086 8385605 and I will try to accommodate visitors provided it is safe and depending on work ongoing at the time. Thanks for your support so far and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Very positive feedback from all who came to see us on Saturday as part of Ballinderry Beo day. It is very encouraging to see so many happy and curious faces enjoying the new home of BMR (and that was just the adults....). Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you here again as we continue to develop the model railway!

Well, it's getting on in the year and work continues with the model railway after the big move from Ballinderry village to its new home. So it seems that with school holidays upon us that the BDR should open its doors again even though there is lots still to be done to complete the project, I hope it will still be an enjoyable visit. It will be open 2 - 5pm Thursday to Sunday from 22nd June. Bear in mind it is a work in process so there is no charge for entry, but if you enjoy your visit, feel free to use the donation box to help maintain and grow the railway. Also, please note the new location is on the Borrisokane Road (still in Ballinderry!) with signs at the entrance. If you do visit, please park outside the gates on the gravelled area and walk up the driveway to the "shed".
