Hi All,

Noted the comments in Blog re website, living in rural Ireland as I do, our web service is nothing short of awful and the site and MRL TV works fine with me, no complaints!

Anyway went to the local MRclub show here last Sunday, it was the Midlands clubs first show and it was very good with an overall surprising attendance, got chatting to some of the guys as one does and decided to give club membership a try.

Went along last Thursday to see what the club is into and got a very warm welcome, not a big outfit but has all the essentials. I have said before that , the model railways scene over here is not as big as UK by a long way and outside of Dublin, there are not that many clubs, as it is limited by population/interest etc.It is nice for me to have something within 30mins or so travel.

I'll be back again this week and we will see how it goes, they are guesting at a show in Dublin in a few weeks so, it will give me a better view of the modelling scene over here. It is a long time since I have been a member of a club, work/time has always got in the way so to speak!

Still on baseboards although, I have made a start on trackwork which reminds me I will have to do something about point motors, I have rod kit for the local stuff but will still need motors for the mainline etc

Will update as we go!!
