SEM63A Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The layouts are good, the exhibition is good and the apple pie is just as good! Unfortunately, I have been double booked with a holiday in Tenerife but I have passed on my high recommendations of this show to my colleagues at Perth & District MRC who will be bringing Aldbury along for the weekend. Have a great show! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc435 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Joe, the nearest station is Greenock West. The Kirk is about 15min walk from the station. If you Google Lyle Kirk Union Street, the church website has a good map attached. Legend, Glad to hear we're "Friendly", be sure and point yourself out. I'll be in the hall somewhere. Andy.

Have a great show! Stan Just returned from another most enjoyable weekend at Scotland's friendly show , well done to all the Greenock mrc members and the Ladies and Gents who provided the catering . Should have a vote for the APPLE PIE , definitely 10/10 Thanks again . Bob Perth Mrc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted October 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2014 I go to many model railway exhibitions on the Scottish Circuit. Off to Pollockshaws next week, but you know what, I can go round these shows and never utter a word to anyone. This simply doesn't happen at Greenock. Simply the friendliest show around. They take the opportunity to chat all the time. Loved the show ,I thought this year there was a bit of everything , from big roundy roundy to Hornby Dublo and Perceton, and Greenocks own one based on Banff, sorry name escapes me. No sign of digital gravity shunting this time though, obviously Andy off eating the apple pies instead! Well done Greenock. A nice morning out!
