Georgeconna Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Hi Folks, Hope you don't mind me sticking up some info on the fair here. It was a great success last year and has given us the funding to get a few more layouts this year, We hope to have at least 7 on show all going well. We have some different traders from last year so it is quite different from the 1st one. We try to encompass quite a braod spectrum of modelling with railway, Plastic, diecast, Boats etc. The only problem we have it the Venue is too small as we have a massive response to the fair from other traders. Doors will be opening a bit earlier this year to alleviate the crowding we had last year. Heres a list of the main displays that are going to be there: Ed White Model Railway Accessories Diecastmodels4u http://www.diecastmodels4u.ie/ M&M Diecast Models: http://mandmdiecastmodels.com/crane-diecast-models.html Studio Scale Models: http://www.studio-scale-models.com/ Model Rail Baseboards: http://www.modelrailbaseboards.com/default.html Michael Morris Card Kits Dublin Model Shop AKA Walshies: http://www.dublinmodelshop.com/ Max Decals: http://maxdecals.com/ New IAC Decal Sheet out now RB Productions: http://www.radubstore.com/ Atlantic Model Boat Club Detail Matters http://detailmatters.co.uk/ 8Ft Flesichmann HO Model Railway 16ft US HO Model Railway Connaton N Gauge Model Railway Wellingtonbheag N Gauge Irish Model Railway or possible new n Scale layout on show.

Also many other private traders selling Railway, Plastic kits, Diecast, Circus etc will be on hand. Depending on the turnout I hope to be able to Donate some proceeds to the RPSI this year. Hope to see some of you boys and girls there Thanks George Edited October 26, 2013 by Georgeconna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinkansen Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Good show today, well done to all involved in putting it together. Top stuff lads:tumbsup: Sorry no pics I'm afraid... left the camera at home today. Only realised it when I arrived in Cork! Did manage to pick up a few bargains tough, chuffed with the Intermodal container wagons picked up from one of the traders. Also picked up some modelling tools from RB Productions. Looking forward to giving these a go on future projects. Good to catch up with Schalane, George and Weshty. Looking forward to getting stuck into those Oil Wagon detailing kits Des, plenty to keep busy with. Looking forward to seeing how your 42' container flats project turns out.... should be a craking model Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scahalane Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Great show yesterday George, well done. My own wallet took a fair old battering as well, but all for a good cause!! Lima Mk3 combi pack - €75 A pair of cravens - €25 each A bunch of signals and level crossing from Des. A glue applicator from RB productions looks like a handy yoke for applying glue with precision. Got a bunch of unboxed Oxford diecast 1:76 cars for a €1 each. There was a nice punch and die set for €70 that I wish I got but a lass ran the bank dry!! It was nice to catch up with a few of the site members Paul, Tom and Des as well. I'm already saving for next year!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
