MRDBLUE17 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Must say I am looking forward to this one, last year was my first time there and also my first show as part of DEMU and it was great to meet so many people from here there. I will be there both days this year helping out on the DEMU roadshow as needed and also helping on Griffin Dock Road as well so please come over and say hello - not much from Rannoch with me to show due to lack of progress of late but I will have my lorry that was in Model Rail on display and a modern waiting shelter that I have just finished today and is a little item for the DEMU area group layout. Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Mac Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I will be at Perth both days with Falkirk MRC’s impressive continental N gauge “Fleckenkirkâ€. I am very much looking forward to operating the layout and seeing the show. Cheers, Greig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
