Hunslet 102 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 The best show in Scotland,even including Glasgow,with a good friendly atmosphere and more space to enjoy the layouts on show. Have been attending this show for many years and always come away from it with the modelling mojo back on a high. Looking forward to it.

Old Blarney Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Evening all, A wee report. Old Blarney was invited to The Cupar Model Railway Show this week end. We in the Perth Model Railway Club had a most enjoyable time there and Old Blarney came away with yet, another Trophy. We ran a general Irish Railways theme but for "Ye Bhoys in Nordern Irelund", I decided to run five Enterprise sets. GNR 206, (Colm Flanigan) with six coaches in Painted Teak, one reciprocal CIE set in Dark Green and Eau-de Nil livery, but had to cheat on the motive power and use a Woolwich at its head. These sets were followed three NIR sets. Hunslet Maroon, with matching coaches, Hunslet Blue, with Blue Grey coaches and last but not least a Light Blue 111, No 111 (Murphy Models) with the blue yellow and black coaches, (Murphy Models Lima Coaches). Each Diesel locomotive is fitted with sound decoders. I also ran my new LMS NCC Mogul, built by Colm Flanigan, this too has a sound decoder, and it along with its rake of LMS NCC coaches was a popular set, attracting many comments. Provincial Wagons were much in evidence too, mixed trains of Cattle Wagons and CIE and GSR Coaches. A long rake, 27 wagons of GNR, BCDR, Downshire, UTA, Bullied and GNR Guards Van. The RPSI were represented too by a set of Six Coaches pulled by my Colm Flanigan No 4. Should any Model Railway Club wish to Have Old Blarney, at their Show, Please contact me. David White.

Old Blarney Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Unfortunately you are a year too late. We exhibited Old Blarney at Falkirk last November and came away with two of their trophies. Better make sure we return them for their show this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
