Dún Laoghaire Exhibition

[josefstadt]

Last year there was a model railway exhibition in Dún Laoghaire Town Hall at the start of August. Does anybody know if this is to be repeated this year?

[BosKonay]

I was there last year - was perfect day for it (light rain )

[WRENNEIRE]

The event will be there again this year

 

Check out the MRSI website for details

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it is two weeks later than last year and I'll be on holidays and I'll also miss the October show! Ah well, better luck next year.

A project coming to fruition

A lot more work to be done but a really good looking model all the same

 

 

 

[WRENNEIRE]

Anyone recognise this kidnapper?

Loads of really interesting accessories

Well worth a visit if you manage to make it tomorrow.

Fantastic layout I thought

The amount of detail was stunning

Fort Camden.

 

 

 

 

[Broithe]

There was an article on it in Railway Modeller, I think, a while back..

[BabyGM]

The exhibition was very good today ,well worth a visit tomorrow

For me the best layout was the one in Boskonays picture, just the rolling stock and the scenery did it for me ,even though O gauge isn't my cup of tea

The 071's looked excellent and hearing them go by with a tara mines train every evening makes me think even more it would be a crime no to fit them with a sound decoder

It was a great day at Dun Laoghaire yesterday,

Anyone who can should head there today,

It was a pleasure meeting up with Anthony,Fran and Paul R along with many others,

Highlight for me of course was the 071/112 at Paddy Murphy's stand,Paddy being his usual helpful and courteous gentleman that he is,

Layouts were top class-Dorset Jctn being my favourite,

Well done to all concerned-roll on October....

I'm raging that I've missed this, I couldn't make it due to ill health

[DartStation]

Great to meet up again and a fantatic two days, must say having a show at this time of year brings out all the families which is great to see.

 

Well done to Ron and the teeam for organising for the second year running.

 

Most enjoyable

Your price lists were much discussed and distributed nonetheless!

 

Quick raft of snaps from the show. Really well organised, good location and a few yummy mummies to boot.

A swiss N gauge layout from South Dublin Club, a very tidy bit of work, with two levels of running lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dorset Street Junction - from the MRSI - O gauge layout with some tasty cream and brown coaches and locos too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An idyllic single line country scene running different stock from the 50's/60's period.

hi lads, i have to admit that i went to get a close lok at fort camden- a fantastic piece of modelling! here's some closeups

 

 

 

this was a clear winner in my humble view for best layout!

[Dave]

Your price lists were much discussed and distributed nonetheless!

 

Good to hear:D

 

Some cracking layouts there. I'll be at the next one.

[BosKonay]

Stunning photos lads!

[RedRich]

Some lovely military modelling Seamus on Fort Camden, lovely photos also. The Sea and Air models photographed be Richie also look amazing. I couldn't make it myself unfortunately but well done to all concerned and congratulations on what looks to have been a great success.

 

Rich,

[enniscorthyman]

I have to agree that it was a very enjoyable show and well

done to all concerned.Had a great chat with Paddy Murphy

and his 071s were worth the trip alone.Nice to meet a few

faces-Ciaran(eiretrains)and Ed not to mention Mr Bracken

in flying form.

[heirflick]

with all the lads posting you would emagine that we would have ran into each other at some part of the afternoon. i knew that enniscorthyman was there cos i got lost and rang him for directions! thought i saw wrenneire but couldnt be sure as its a year since i saw him at another dublin show:o next show we should post when we were going so we could meet and mabe have a scoup...even if its tea!

[Glenderg]

I spent most of the day out there Saturday, and met up with quite a few heads - Dartstation, GM071, Warbonnet, Anthony and of course, Wrenneire. Even got to [nearly] finish a model for Anthony, then forgot to take photos of it:((. Craic was had indeed, and I wondered why there wasn't a poster up for this forum!

[heirflick]

I wondered why there wasn't a poster up for this forum!

 

yes..and we could all stick our ugly mugs on it beside our avitars!

[Broithe]

I would suggest the wearing of badges when attending gatherings where there may be others from the Forum present - with the appropriate avatar showing - it would make identification easier..

[heirflick]

good thought...

[Dave]

That's a good idea, I will have a trade stand in Raheny next month. I would like to put some faces to the names.
