How much train stuff is generally available here ? Is it worth making a trip from Cork ? Any good deals on DCC controllers

[burnthebox]

If previous years are anything to go by, there should be lots of model railway stalls, wrenneire should be able to confirm, you may be lucky regarding DCC controllers, have a look on ebay before you travel, best of luck,

Yip, gonna head early, all the decent gear is gone by lunch and all's left is doll's house stuff and postcards of busses!

I would travel to Dunmanway instead to see James Dewar of Details Matter fame at 023 55615.

Can't go wrong for a quid!

 

I've one of these for the kids - grand little yokes!

 

I was able to stick pictures of all the thomas locos on it (it has ten loco address buttons on the front) so it was a doddle for them to use!

Clontarf fair on again this Sunday

10 am - 3 pm

Most traders also accept part exchange, so if there are any bits lying about that you do not use , drag them along and

trade them for something that you do need!

[WRENNEIRE]

Sad day today for model railway fans

Clontarf Castle fair is no more!

The organiser, Brian Kelly, announced out of the blue today that it would be the last fair he was organising there and the fair would be no more!

[Weshty]

How come Dave, too much hassle, or lack of business?

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Now's your chance Dave you could organise some there

[WRENNEIRE]

Hassle really I think Des

He has been doing it for 16 or so years and he's getting no younger

It has been slowly winding down over the last few events and also I think the current times are not helping

[Weshty]

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
