Excellent - good show which I was lucky enough to hit on a rare home visit to NI a few years ago. Great trade support especially.

I enjoyed these years back but driving now from Cork to Dublin first, Parking in Connolly, Train up then is now massively expensive.

Agreed! All major preservation society’s are based north of Dublin. ma’am cross, RPSI, cultra, C&L, Donegal ect. Waterford has the Suir valley, Kerry has the lartigue railway, Clare has moyesta, Tipperary has ITG in carrick. The cost and time to get to and from any of these sites is a bit of an object. Meanwhile in the whole county of cork we have no.36 in Kent and 2 Park Royal coaches in the west cork model railway village.

[Warbonnet]

IRM will be there with models for sale and we should have decorated samples of our Enterprise coaches too, which will be of great interest to the locals especially! 

See you there! 

[jhb171achill]

So we can now get both RPSI liveries - the Craven blue & cream and the Whitehead green!

[Warbonnet]

Hi everyone,

Look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers!

I've never associated the two places as having the same name, despite knowing of both of them. Isn't that strange?!

Could be worse.

I had a couple of aunts who had a friend who was as geographically-challenged as they were - she got on a train in Bristol to go the few miles to Wellington (in Somerset) and got off it in Wellington in Shropshire.

 

"I thought it was taking a long time."

[murphaph]

Lol, reminds me of my pal back when I lived in Berlin. We had a party and he got well oiled. Took the train to Potsdam instead of Potsdamer Platz.

Will be there with Chris Dyer, tells me he has a van full of Irish models, he has sold off most of his UK stock
I wont say there will be many "bargains" but if you are looking for a particular piece.........

As I said on my own thread - go and see William Redpath's model of Portadown at Bangor this weekend!

[MikeO]

I managed to get a few photos of some of the layouts at the exhibition. i posted my T Trak layout photos on the T trak thread.

 

Four views of  Feneghy  an OO scale layout of a fictional NCC line set in the Ballymoney area.

 

 

A closeup of therec NCC liveried 6 wheel coaches

Rush hour perhaps?

 

Two new layouts from the Glenabby club

First an OO scale layout

 

Second a compact N gauge layout. the stone buildings are Metcalfe card kits

Four views of the large Portadown layout. A spectacular layout.

 

 

 

How railways started?

[jhb171achill]

I love that Portadown layout - saw it somewhere a few years ago (Blackrock?). And the Fenaghy one is a gem too. Well done to all concerned.

[LARNE CABIN]

Growing up in the village of Gilford, and going to school in Portadown, William Redpath's model of Poradown Station is so nostalgic. What an achievement to model such a large area so accurately. I remember seeing it a few years ago (probably at Cultra) when the roundhouse area was still being developed. There are so many areas along the length of the model brilliantly modelled. Hats off to you William, brilliant realism, terrific modelling.

Found some on youtube.
