LNERW1 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Maybe this is just me, but I kind of prefer individual classrooms with corridors between. I feel like it kind of allows for better compartmentalization of layouts, as well as providing quieter spaces, which could be viewed as important as a growing number of railway modellers (myself included) are being diagnosed with autism, and so naturally quieter spaces could help provide a relief from louder areas. At the Great Electric Train Show 2023, in Milton Keynes, I remember much preferring the two upstairs balcony areas to the louder downstairs hall (apart from a high-pitched buzzing that I can only assume came from some rogue electrical component or speaker). I think I’ll start another thread about this as it’s kind of an important issue, but isn’t very relevant to this topic.

WRENNEIRE Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 In our old haunt is St Pauls in Raheny we had several complaints from both exhibitors and traders that they were not getting enough footfall in the smaller classrooms as opposed to the folk in the main hall. We will see what the reaction is to the new venue and then see what is best for everyone 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERW1 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Yeah, I do of course appreciate the needs of all involved with the exhibition, I'm just saying that quieter spaces need to be provided. At the Wexford show, which I have just left, there was an area just before you entered the main hall, where there was tea, cakes etc. I thought this functioned really well as a quieter space (although I didnt at any point feel the need to avail of it). Maybe classrooms aren't the way to go, but I feel they do provide a much more conversational and friendly atmosphere, apart from being a little more sensory-friendly. But then I suppose the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted Tuesday at 22:15 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:15 Folks As well as my wagons, I will have a selection of recently published Irish Railway books. I know that many are not easily available in Ireland, another "benefit" of Brexit, so I usually bring some with me. In particular the Tralee and Dingle Railway book which retails here at £60 sterling - I'll do pre-orders at 60 Euros - but please let me know. Profit goes to RPSI. Any other books - just ask. Thanks Leslie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted Thursday at 15:29 Share Posted Thursday at 15:29 I see Model Rail Baseboards listed as attending the show Strange as he posted some time back "It was always a poor venue.......Needless to say I won't be attending anymore" Has the new venue changed his mind?

leslie10646 Posted Thursday at 16:43 Share Posted Thursday at 16:43 Not listed in the MRSI site is the fact that Richard McLachlan will have a stand beside mine where he will be able to give you chapter and verse about the railway drawings (locomotives, rolling stock and buildings) which he has scanned for the IRRS; and he will share his considerable experience of brass coach building. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
