steventrain Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Make sure put in your dairy! North Down Model Railway Society annual Model Exhibition will be held on Saturday 12 April and Sunday 13 April 2014. The venue will change to the new Bangor Grammar School on Gransha Road Bangor. The exhibition will be held in the modern surroundings of the school's atrium and assembly Hall which will give approximately the same floor space of previous exhibitions. In house catering will also be available on both days of the exhibition. A large car park is available to cater for those visitors who come by car (the vast majority), but for those using public transport, the town bus service has a link from the station to the school.

iarnrod Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Any information on these rolling stock diagrams that Richard McLachlan has. Are they modern i.e. diesel era or historic i.e. steam era ? Any chance of more information on this please? Next door at Stand 16 is Richard McLachlan, who will be selling books of loco and rolling stock diagrams produced from information in the IRRSarchives. And showing off his considerable skills as a coach modeller. Do call around and say hallo, even if you don't buy anything! It's nice to put faces to names!

leslie10646 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Entirely steam era and GNR(I). His books of drawings cover Classes V, VS, U, UG plus the tenders. The rolling stock books are the first of five planned. The first covers vans etc which ran on passenger trains, including horseboxes; the second six wheel coaches (ie from about 100 years ago!).

tourneo123321 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Chris Dyer Toys & Trains will be there with a vast stock of Irish and UK models in "00". We now have the new Silver Fox Sulzer locos in five liveries as well as fresh supplies of the Mk3 Suburban 3-coach sets which we had previously sold out of. We have a LOT of Silver Fox, Murphy Models and our own production Mk2 and Mk3 coaches in IR/IE and NIR. We will also have our very first NIR 3000/4000 3-car DMU r.t.r sets (ex. Bachmann) and they are quite superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
