Come along and say hello,just follow the sound of the Banjo (yepi i aye) and have a crack,there will be a translator present to help you out with the multitude of Northern accents (all passports stamped),also the "layout doctor" will be there giving out useless information, and not to mention one of the best scenic American layouts about. Ray OfficIal publicity officer for JG RAILROADS I presume you will be there by the sound of it. Dont forget the good beer scene in the parea either if you are.

Jon Grant 4472 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I only managed to take a few photos over the Glasgow weekend, it was that busy. The show was excellent and US outline layouts were much in evidence I don't appear to have taken any photos of Long Island Jack (non technical staff) Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durham light infantry Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Were there no patients for the layout doctor? He looks bored. Hope he warms his stethoscope for Birtley!!! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jack Think he's talking about himself,now he's joined the over 50's gang,also the blacks cats lost again,to look on the bright side we did have a good Chinese,so it might just be a bit of wind!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ray p.s the layout doctor was only needed once to sort out a derailment,it wasn't me govenor,honest,i was banished to the darkest corner,hence no photo's,though did manage a stint on the front Sunday,while they were all still asleep.
