ttc0169 Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Congratulations to all involved,and well done on the all in one venue- looking forward to visiting and seeing Dundalk works again- all going well. 4 2 Quote
LNERW1 Posted May 6 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 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
LNERW1 Posted May 6 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
LNERW1 Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Only three layouts listed on the MRSI website… would anyone have a good idea of the number of layouts? Quote

leslie10646 Posted September 17 Posted September 17 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

Georgeconna Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Hopefully I might run up as usual for a day out. Mind you I thought this was a Cultra show at 1st glance when I seen the Maebh in the pic! 1 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted September 19 Posted September 19 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? 1 Quote

leslie10646 Posted September 19 Posted September 19 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

LNERW1 Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Well isn't that convenient. In fairness if you're coming in from the south or west as I think a lot of us are, bus is quicker anyway. Not denying it's a pain for loads of people though. Hopefully it doesn't spoil anyone's plans. 2 Quote
leslie10646 Posted October 12 Posted October 12 I'm coming to Ireland at the end of this week, as the RPSI is celebrating 60 years next Saturday. So, I'm packing already. This may be my last visit as a Trader (I'm getting a bit old for this - 78) and I've let stocks run down. So, if you want anything, now's the time to speak up! I have SOME of each of the kits here: https://provincialwagons.com/kits-available/ If you want to fill a gap in your collection, please contact me (e-mail preferred) and I'll hold the kit (s). No payment required up front, just what and when you're coming. Thanks I look forward to meeting many of you again at The Show. Leslie 5 Quote
