G-Mac Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Falkirk MRC will be attending with their new layout Fleckenkirk. The layout is a 24 foot N gauge located in an imaginary location in the Rhine valley. Trains depart from the station of Fleckenkirk Bahnhof before either continuing along the valley floor on one main line or starting their long climb on the second main line. Watch trains tunnel under vast hills and scale huge gorges as they meander along their route. An enclosed spiral allows trains to move between levels. In the town there is plenty of character with a mix of old and new buildings, each fantastically detailed. A selection of German trains will run along with some cross border connections from France.

Brush47337 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Shameless "bump" to get this back up the list. Show starts this Friday I am now taking the day off work Friday for "solo" wander round then going back with some pals on Saturday - that way they don't think I am too geeky. Little do they know Thanks to Craig for all his efforts on this link. I even spotted him plugging the show on the excellent urban Glasgow.co.uk website - an archive of old Glasgow photos, buildings and stories. Also a good old train line and station site Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry J Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Shortliner et al, the proposed strike days are 1st & 13th March so I wouldn't worry about being effected if travelling to Model Rail. The first strike day was last Saturday and appeared to have little effect on services. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
59004 ( was Shedcombe....) Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm now off to Amsterdam Airport ( Schiphol ) for the flight to Edinburgh. Flying back on the 2nd, with the 1st a spotting day. Looking at empty platforms and stabled trains ?!?!?! Regards, Michel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'll be there manning my demonstration stand. I'll be building my german narrow gauge stuff again. You'll find me sandwiched between the GRS and Austrian stands. Do drop by n say hello. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, It has snowed ALL day here in the Highlands - The A9 and several other roads are closed - I went to Inverness this afternoon to see my lady who is in Raigmore hospital having had an op, and the return journey over the Black Isle was quite exciting, driving-wise - with the car "tramlining" along the ruts - somehow I think this year is going to be a miss ( have the ticket s for exhibish and train - but travelling to Inverness at zero dark hundred to catch the first train out, and returning to find the weather had worsened might be foolhardy. Especially since the nice weather lady on Radio4 at lunchime was talking about places having "accumulations of several METRES!!!!!"

60B Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm having the same problems as Jack. Weather isn't getting any better and the roads are horrendous with a severe weather warning still in place for tommorow. Dagworth and a few others hve made across the border at least.

Hammer Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Looks like I'm going to be heading there on the Sunday rather then the Saturday. Hope there aren't too many people packing it in early because of the weather. Also hope there are a few bargains left. Well, It has snowed ALL day here in the Highlands - The A9 and several other roads are closed - I went to Inverness this afternoon to see my lady who is in Raigmore hospital having had an op, and the return journey over the Black Isle was quite exciting, driving-wise - with the car "tramlining" along the ruts - somehow I think this year is going to be a miss ( have the ticket s for exhibish and train - but travelling to Inverness at zero dark hundred to catch the first train out, and returning to find the weather had worsened might be foolhardy. Especially since the nice weather lady on Radio4 at lunchime was talking about places having "accumulations of several METRES!!!!!" If anyone would like to post photos - they would be very welcome Aye, conditions up north seem pretty hairy. My mum's been off work because the diesel in her car froze, then both routes out of the village were closed (and remain so). Heard there's been a good few fatal crashes and one of the local snow plows caught fire in the back of beyond. 1.5m of snow in 48 hours or so. Definitely a case of essential travel only. Funny how the amount of snow makes what London got at Christmas look like a light fall, but there's no media panic eh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
