Bungus the Fogeyman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Flawlessly Nicholas! The bit Clive broke was the wire from the tortoise up to the tie bar on the point! The top of it was biffing the cowcatcher on the shunter. Clive cut it down too far, not an insurmountable problem. Disgusting of Market Harborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting of Market Harborough It would have been hadn't Squires selling piano wire, they also helped with plastic card to adapt Dave's loco chassis to fit my loco bodies, and plastic cement so I could repair the wagon I dropped,.......... twice.

hoovernut Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I must congratulate the organisers for another cracking show, ,loved Aberdeen Kirkwall and even managed a bargain from rails. Managed to get a Waverley for a friend and one for myself. Just one obersvation and in no way an criticism was that model rail magazine were absent. But I’m guessing it’s a long way to come for them all. Already looking forward to next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted February 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26, 2018 Oh, Hornby Magazine, Rialway Modeller and Rail Express were all there. The first 2 had substantial stands (RM as part of a wider Peco stand). I thought Model Rail was going to be there (they have been for a number of years) but I realised after I left that I hadn't seen them, and they aren't listed in the show programme.

Flood Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well it's back to normality at work after 5 days away and 3 days in Scotland. I would just like to say that it was an absolute pleasure to attend Model Rail Scotland. There were a considerable number of people interested in the layout which, for the first time in the extended form, ran like a dream. I felt that there was a very good trade selection and also some very interesting layouts so, all in all, a great show to attend. Plus the fact that we got 2nd place for best non-affiliated layout, we will have to try harder next time. Finally there were some excellent meals to be had in Glasgow in the evening, a very enjoyable weekend all round. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad McCann Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Very much enjoyed Kirkhill and Canada Street. Had a good crack with one of the latter’s esteemed operators about the providence of the buildings and that rather superb drag of grains you were operating. Aye, Canada Street was the layout I was especially looking forward to seeing and it delivered inspiration in spades, gents. Thanks for bringing it.

As a result order placed yesterday ! Great that Hattons thought it was worthwhile making trip north. It looked to me as if it was as busy as ever , if not the busiest I've seen it , so hopefully its a financial success for AMRSS and proof that theres a lot of interest up here in Model Railways.

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted February 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2018 Plus the fact that we got 2nd place for best non-affiliated layout, we will have to try harder next time. Congratulations. It was a great layout. Is there a list somewhere of all the variouscompetition winners?. I've missed it if it's already been posted in this thread. Going back to the old McLellan Galleries days, there used to be a display cabinet up on the balcony with all the various trophies along with various competition entries of scratchbuilt models. Back in the early 80's I was once the proud winner of the McMillan Cup, awarded to the under 16 junior modeller, for my conversion of a Lima 33 to a Class 26. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm81 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Canada Street is something else, that cantilevered lighting board allowing you uninterrupted views of the corner, then I noticed some of the buildings had full detail on the rear where most people would probably not even look! Sadly I didn't really enjoy it as much as last year due to poor health but there was nothing the organisers could do about that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
