Bray Train & Model Fair

[WRENNEIRE]

One of the regular lads who attend the Bray show bought a 1960's Hammant & Morgan catalogue

They were the Rolls Royce of the controller world back in the day

It also contained a 1661 pricelist and a list of suppliers for the "British Isles"

Low and behold there was Dublin listed with 3 suppliers

Heleys, spelt incorrectly, of Dame St

M Ascough of Lower Leeson St

And the bould Cyril L. Fry of Churchtown Rd

I never knew he was a retailer, I wonder what else he sold?

Seems to have been contagious. The last shop on the list posted by Wrenneire, George Smith of Elgin, closed many many years ago, and even the Toymaster store that succeeded Smiths has also disappeared.

Hi All. Bray Train & Model Fair coming up this Sunday, take a break from your holiday and drop in....

 

Will do if the weather is bad. Haven't been for many months, looking forward to getting to one again sooner or later.

Hi All

 

Sean is in the shop for a lower drive rod linkage replacement, if the prelims went OK today the procedure should have happened by now and he should be on the way to the steaming shed!

 

These linkages can be tricky, so some careful running in is required- so we will not see Gauge N at the Fair for possibly 2 months....

 

Speedy recovery Sean

I'm sure you will be glad to hear Gauge-N-Sean had a successful time in the shop, and is out on the rails running in the new linkage. All is going well for recovery and will soon be notched to full throttle....
