Signal Post Posted October 23 Posted October 23 (edited) (Edited version in italics). Don't think so, that looks to be from Griffith Ave, as far as I know (and as stated above) the entrance to DFB Training Centre is on Malahide Road. Just looked at it there on Google Street View and it shows it clearly enough, (drove past this afternoon just to check). The entrance is directly opposite the gates to Mount Temple (the show venue) on Malahide Road. Be aware that Malahide Road is a dual carriageway so entry to the DFB Training Centre is only possible heading towards Malahide ie travelling away from the city centre, for those coming from M50 etc head down the M1 towards Whitehall, keep going until Griffith Avenue (a large tree lined road), turn left onto Griffith Ave and keep going straight, past large white church on left hand side until you come to a large chicane (s bend) (trees straight in front of you) and go left there onto Malahide Road and the entrance is a short distance up that road on left hand side. Hope this helps. Edited October 23 by Signal Post 1 1 Quote

Jack_Dunboyne Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Lads, just to inform you. Main hall was to small to accommodate our layout. We are in VIP section in canteen. It's a building next to main parking on the way to the main hall. Come around to see some proper scale there will be one of the most iconic polish passenger car on the track. 9 10 Quote
Broithe Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Surely the National Transport Authority should have to approve an infrastructure project on this scale? 2 1 9 Quote

How did you take that photo, the crowds of people were so large it was nearly impossible to see some of the layouts the large hall was so crammed with people. Fantastic visitor turnout. 2 hours ago, amdaley said: Buffers lock was extraordinarily interesting. Grand children very impressed with the visuals and micro scenes 4 1 Quote

Colin_McLeod Posted October 27 Posted October 27 I was very impressed with that Polish layout. The long run with buildings etc at realistic distances apart and the rolling stock. There is a very definite eastern European look about it. 6 1 Quote

The Fremo get-togethers are a great way of making the rolling stock clock up the mileage. 3 Quote
Kevin Sweeney Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I was at the exhibition yesterday morning, my first ever model railway show. Big crowd when I was there. On my way in I passed two teenage girls who were leaving the exhibition. One said to the other "that was really cool wasn't it", her friend agreed. It was great to hear, I can't think of any other hobby that is mainly the preserve of middle aged and elderly men, that teenage girls would describe as cool. 2 Quote

It would be a great customer base to tap into if that interest could be converted into sales. Trainsets for little girls anyone? Quote
