Memory fade 50 years on! Thanks for the correction. At least I got the George part right - not Dirty Daniel's or Mucky Mary's. St George's School is another story altogether...

Dungrange Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Yes, I understand that there were model railway exhibitions at George Herriot's many years ago but I don't think George Watson's College has been used before. I hope our prospective customers don't go to the wrong venue!!!😭 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim49 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hi Alex, long time no see. Well no-one can accuse you of attending the "wrong" school as yours was most definitely "approved" Jim (Another escapee from Cumbernauld MRC) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never attended any school in Edinburgh, I'm not sure which ones are 'right' and 'wrong'. Hopefully not too many consider GWC to be the 'wrong' school.

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted April 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17 Hi all, Please note the reference to The N Gauge Society isn't quite right! It is the NGS Forth & Clyde Area Group that are attending and providing a range of demonstrations of N Gauge modelling. A fair range of subjects will be covered! So far - Building NGS kits, Building Laser Cut buildings. Decal and weathering models. As usual we are quite happy to answer any queries on N Gauge subjects, not just the Society but general queries about N Gauge modelling. See you at the show! Phil H - NGS - F&C Area Group 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not too many consider GWC to be the 'wrong' school. As an outsider in Edinburgh I, too, am not sure which are 'right' and which are 'wrong' though it seems to matter for job interviews. It can be amusing to see the hierarchy at work amongst middle-aged men. Growing up in, the west of Scotland being asked what school I went to was for another, and rather unpleasant, reason. More importantly, I am looking forwrad to the show and have it in my diary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
