Westcorkrailway Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Just a reminder. Cork model swap meet will be on in under a months time. General admission is free! it looks like there will be no Camden fort model show this year, due to politics for even opening the fort to visitors never mind the show. so the swap meet may be the premiere railway exhibition in the rebel county There think there is a few tables left so it may be worth sending a PM if interested. Last year most people sold most of what they had on sale, some sold 100 percent! So a tenner for the table is probobly good value I don’t know about the other contestants but I do know Chris Larkin with have a few copies of the new 2nd edition of his book and I will be there selling a few bits of memorabilia, models and books. So if ye have free time Sunday 28th of May, or a few models to get rid of. head down to the oriel house Ballincollig for this years swap meet One of the 3 rooms last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good time @Georgeconna if you asked a neutral to go to a look at model trains or go look at a MIG 15 I think I know what they would choose….

Westcorkrailway Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 I’m looking forward to it this year big time. And the list of people going suggest this year, it will move away from being exclusivly swapping and buying going on. But a more complete model show like the ones we have at Wexford and Dublin ect. Of course not in the same scale quite yet…. I’ve said this idk how many times. But even for a few hours of craic. Admission is free once you get of the bus! maybe grice ballincolligs old railway before the greenway is built! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
