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
