after the rush of 071's some of you lads might be interested in this

 

 

Update: I have now 40+ tables taken and have two rooms in the Hotel booked. There will be a good range of Model Railway Stuff from private sellers and trade that includes Grahams Toymaster, Irish Model Baseboards, Brendan Curran Model Trains.

Update.

[Georgeconna]

Hi all

 

Update: Such is the interest in this I have now 40 tables taken and I will be taking on a second room in the hotel so there are very few tables left. There will be a good proportion of private sellers that are going to be railway related. There will be Model Railways N and OO Mainly, Plastic kits, Model Railway Baseboards Service, Brendan Currans American Railway Model Stall, James Dewar of Detail Matters, Max Decals, RB Productions (great tools BTW Check out his site) and many more private traders and a few small layouts, Space limitations do not allow for me to bring in some layouts unfortunately.

 

Come early for the Bargains:)

 

Regards

 

George

I hope everything goes well George and it leads to more fairs. How are things going,

I haven't seen you since April. I hope everyone is well and the new arrival isn't keeping you up all night.

 

Rich,

George,

 

The very best of luck with this venture in the "Real Capital", particularly in a great spot like D'Imperial. Sorry I can't be there due to other commitments.

[scahalane]

That's great news George, hope to see you there.

[Georgeconna]

Update, Interest in this has been immense so much so I have booked a Second room and have a potiential of over 40 tables.

 

If any one has interest in the West Cork Railway, Chris Larkin will be selling some Memoribilia at the show along with quite a number of Slides in both B&W and Colour.

 

College has finished now so I can concentrate on the models again thank god for that, If I can sell my kids at the fair I could be tempted!!

 

cheers

Enjoyed the show today, nice to meet up with George, Shinkansen , and heirflick. Did some serious damage to my wallet though.

[Georgeconna]

Ah but you got a great deal there Sean in that little bag of yours:confused:.

 

Over all it was a great success, Loads of footfall and loads of buying, selling and trading going on as well of lots of Fun and new friends. I did not have any compaints so far except for the stairs up to the venue. Once a few pics get loaded on the net up I'll let you know where to find them.

 

On a quick note thanks to all the guys n gals who supported us today, Without your support we could not have done this, From what I gather you might be back for the next one which is fantastic.

 

If any one has any feedback on improvement or would fancy taking part in the next one, drop us a PM.

 

cheers

 

George.
