I entered the venue at 10:00 on Saturday morning-after purchasing a ticket and programme with ease from the ticket office, no queueing whatsoever, It got busy around the 12:30 mark until 15:30-I left at 16:30 after an enjoyable day meeting good friends, and viewing the various layouts- I will return

  19. Volume three of this popular title from Jim Edgar will shortly become available Again available from the RPSI website shop This volume covers Dublin and the south east and has some real gems of photos and will be a useful asset to any modeller modelling the 1970-1990s period on CIE and IR.

  21. Love the correct prototypical Mk3 coach formation-and as the lads have said the last photo really captures the whole Heuston scene-well done Rob
  22. Yes it certainly is something special
  23. Just a thought….. Would it be worth the MRSI and SDMRC and possibly Wexford MRC and NDMRC pooling their resources and maybe use the RDS as a single venue for future events? With the increase in Irish railway modelling in this country surely an annual event similar to model rail Glasgow and Warley could be arranged and marketed with the potential of UK clubs being invited to exhibit their layouts etc, Maybe it is one to discuss for the future.
  24. The cattle bank siding has now been relaid with standard gauge track… More rolling stock is due to arrive hopefully before the Christmas. Note-the signal cabin has gained “new”windows and a name board.
  25. It’s the low rail adhesion season on Tara junction, we see the first of the 001 class locomotives-(054)-prepare to be moved onto the wheel lathe at the MPD.
