Scalefour North

[leslie10646]

Richard McLachlan and I will be manning (personning in these PC days?) a Irish Railway Record Society stand at Wakefield this weekend. So, if you live "up North" in the Big Island, you might come along and have a look.

Focus will be on Richard's superb books of drawings - everything from Irish track standards, through buildings, wagons, coaches to enough information to build a 12 inches to the foot model of quite a few Irish locos. All carefully digitised from the Society's archive in Dublin.

We always have a screen going with photographs from the Society's collections - presently from the late Lance King and John Dewing and the very much alive Conrad Natzio.

I will have a selection of Provincial  Wagons kits in a box "under the table" in case you can be tempted!

Hope to see a few of you hardy Northerners there.

Good luck with the show,

Please thank Richard for the issue of brass sheet a few weeks back, though unfortunately I have not had a chance to cut something  out of it yet, but I do have a plan!.....

Just home from Wakefield and thanks, Eoin, we had a great show - signed up a new IRRS member (massive Brownie Points from our bosses in Dublin!); sold a fair few of Richard's ever more numerous and amazing drawings and had great craic with a load of friends in the modelling world. You'd be amazed at the folk with an interest in Irish railways who pop up all over the place.

Thanks to the good people of the Scale Four Society in the North, who ran a fine show and were very hospitable.

Just over two days now to pack up ready for the boat early on Thursday morning to Dublin, en route for The Black North. Haven't even had time to see if we're still in Europe, or whether Leo has erected a Wall yet!!!!
