This year the South Dublin Model Model Railway Club is celebrating 50 years in existence. From humble beginnings of a few like minded individuals coming together in a members workshop in Rathmines to where we are today in our purpose built club rooms in Knocklyon in Dublin. Our Exhibition in Blackrock College this year will have added significance and we are planning on it being our biggest and best show yet. Dates of our show: October 25th,26th & 27th. Thank you The Organising team.

Mine arrived and I also got the lighting mechanisms for the coaches - easy to fit , the brake van was late to the party and was not allowed out to play earlier so including a picture for reference. Thanks PR

There have been similar issues with other magazines arriving from the UK - for example Irish Traction Magazine - they were refused entry by Irish Customs - I have had issues too with other items being returned to a sender twice - same item , labeling on the package was fine it had its CN22 label - the first one had an an post sticker that simply said - return to sender, the second attempt had nothing but was returned - no idea whats going on - other packages are arriving no problem - it just could be a similar issue with your magazine.

Leslie, You are very welcome, weekend went well and very positive comments have been received - a big thank you to our sponsors - Irish Railway Models , to all the trade and exhibitors and the general public for attending - all the traders were happy with the weekend which is good to hear. To Last Lap Cafe for feeding the public - this went down a storm. , as we were not able to provide refreshments to the public in previous years. I have made my list of improvements for the next show in 2025. Thank you to everyone who have supported our show over the years. Paul Reynolds Event Manager

yes - the add was filmed at our clubhouse (South Dublin Model Railways) over two days - you were not dreaming - for the short glimpse at the start of the add there was a huge entourage involved in the production. The production company wanted to make it as generic as possible.
