Merc435 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Door prices held over from last year! Plus, children can gain free entry if they draw and bring along a railway related picture. Show the picture at the front door and gain free entry(with a paying adult) to the 2018 show. Your picture will be entered into a brilliant competition to win a prize kindly donated by our friends at "The Junction Box" model railways. A Family of 4 bring a picture from each child can save £4 on a family ticket. That's around the price of two slices of Apple pie!!

docting Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ah the secret is to reserve it when you go in and stick it in your pocket till you are ready to eat it! The buffet staff only bake 2 or 3 pies so you need to be quick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well done the boys from Greenock . As predicted I didn’t get out without having an extensive chat with a couple of members . Really it is a very friendly show. One of the smaller shows , but still had a reasonable number of layouts , very well operated . I liked Ddault . Don’t remember ever having seen it before, a delightful 009 layout . And of course the Hornby Dublo layout always superb. Nice seeing something different this year. A pleasant hour or so out even if it was a typical October dreich Greenock day.

He was using child labour when I was there. Seriously though, it is a very friendly show . Not all shows engage to the same extent, so you should be congratulated on that. It’s obviously part of the clubs ethos. A good layout to appeal to kids and Johns Hornby Dublo to appeal to us older kids!

That was probably my Son operating, either that or the Father and Son that took up a shunting challenge with the three wagon change using 2 sidings. It is part of our ethos Legend. has been for a few years now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
