I have been to Leisureworld number of time.

In Summer 1978 trip to Belfast by ulsterbus with family and stopping by checkpoint patrols Three times - Old A4 road near dungannon, M1 moira and M1 at end at roundabout to city centre via Donegall Road (no westlink traffic until 1981). 

I went into leisureworld and I see large stock of Hornby stuff (too many red package!).

In early 1980s it stock large of Hornby and lima stuff, Some Peco, Airfix, Mainline, wrenn, fleischmann and Farish N gauge.

But in from 1989 it stock Hornby only, All other brands to clear out to half price. In later 1997 it no long stock trains but Model shop back selling model trains.

Internet begin from 1994 see leisureworld sales falling in the next few years and insurance and rates goes up but Owner David Crowe forced closed doors in April 1998 with 40 lost jobs after 22 years in business.

Do you remember Frederick and Thomas toy shop on North street and Great Victoria street opposite Europa hotel? It did sell triang to Hornby, Dinky toys  vehicles etc - I brought damage boxed diesel hymek from preowner told me and bomb damage up to half price sale trains in 1976,  F & T toys shop in belfast ceased trading in 1983.

On order with special price of £495.

November 12th wonder who from this  forum plans to attend with layouts and/or trade stands in 3 weeks time?

About 30 layouts attend included amongst the Irish layouts will be Tony Raggs 'Octavia Hill' layout depicting the Great Northern Railway Clones and Portadown depots, 'Fenaghy Junction' from the Northern Counties group, and a working Lego model of Lisburn train station.

No trade stand at Cultra .

But Many trade stands attend Cooke MRC Railway and model Vehicle Fair in Belfast 19th November 2022.

I was last visit last June and lots of trains most British modelling but few Irish stock.
