Gort Station layout had its first public outing last weekend at Ireland's now biggest model railway exhibition - Wexford MRC annual exhibition.
Enjoyed the two day show, superb organisation, great circulation space for the public. View looking east in Athenry direction
Looking west in Ennis direction.
As it was my first time ever exhibiting there were lots of practical new things to learn, and prepare for before the show (eg transport robust baseboard packing, stock boxes, tools, signage, pelmet, operating sequence). The two baseboard version in its current form is a shunting biased operation so interesting for modellers but dead boring for the general public who want to see lots of colourful movement and fast passing trains. The extension is already in construction so next outing she'll have lots of movement and passing trains that can pass on the main loop while shunting happened independently.
