Midland MRC Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Midlands Model Railway Club will be holding their Annual Exhibition on Sunday 14th September 2014. This year we are moving to a new venue, The Killeshin Hotel on the Dublin Road in Portlaoise. The show will run from 11am until 5pm. A full list of layouts and traders will follow closer to the event. However we do still have some space left, so if anyone has a layout that they would be interested in exhibiting or trader who would like a table, please get in contact with Craig at the club or send a PM.

heirflick Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 heres a few pics lads...excuse the quality as the old cameras lens was not focussing correctly half the time, so heres the best i have - ...on entering the main room i saw this suspicious looking gents.... ..thought they were recruiting agents for the Taliban, but on closer inspection it was only Baseboard Dave and Dartman Owen. really enjoyed the chat and the banter there lads! Owen was so good at his salesmanship that he got a deposit for one of his dart units from me without even opening his mouth!! anyhu, on to the layouts.. Tyworld Monastery Line Quote

Broithe Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Right, finally sorted out a few pics from a couple of weeks ago... Dave, Heirflick and Murrayec. Eoin's development stages - possibly to emerge in 1/76th, also.. Last minute adjustments.... The lovely, though slightly risqué, quarry layout - if you've ever wondered where track rubbers come from, or where they go when they're worn out.... Quote
Kirley Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks for the pictures, nice to see some new layouts Quote
Broithe Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 And the last few.. I don't think that anybody has ever closed those bottom gates and filled the lock up.... Quote
