Yes, it's a big shame they have pulled out. That being said I would anticipate a somewhat lukewarm reception from many on this forum even if that's maybe not a fully representative cross section. Either way very excited and looking forward to attending on Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Locomotion No. 3 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The Locomotion Models team look forward to travelling north on Thursday to prepare for Model Rail Scotland in Glasgow this weekend. You will be able to see and purchase items from the National Collection in Miniature on stand A17. It will be great to cross the border again after a two year absence and to meet customers old and new. Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted February 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2022 I've been mulling over whether to attend this year for a few weeks. Model Rail is normally one of my regular yearly exhibitions. During a wakeful period very very early this morning I decided that I wasn't going to attend this year. Final decision! Fast forward a few hours and a day off from work has been arranged for Friday, a pass out from the wife agreed, train tickets bought and a plan of attack (which layouts and vendors to visit in which order) drafted. My wife is out for "lunch" with friends on Friday. I wonder who spends the most money. PJ10 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardean Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Just had a look at the Exhibitor Listings:- B29 listed twice, once for Great North of Scotland Rly Association & secondly the same stand number, B29 for the Transport Treasury Publishing. Apologies if this has been interpreted wrongly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Can anyone give me some advice please, I am clearing my late Father's house & he has a fair amount of 1970s to 1990s 00 gauge stock. I know nothing about 00, but appreciate that it is probably worth pennies. Would there be any traders at the show who it would be worth me speaking to regarding clearance ? Much appreciated Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this has been interpreted wrongly. I expect it’s a typo, the GNSR Assoc. is probably to be found at C29 around where the other Scottish Pre-Grouping associations are. Really looking forward to this show, I think this will be the first model railway show for many attendees since Model Rail Scotland 2020. I’ll be on Stand No B8 operating Loch Dubh (Falkirk MRC) on the days I’m there. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken.W Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 From what I've seen on the News this evening Covid Passports will still be required for the SEC this weekend as apparently they end on Monday?

Different countries, different rules, nothing new here to discuss, meet the rules for attending and have a great weekend. I’m more interested in the Layouts, Associations and Traders at MRS than finding reasons not to attend. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluff Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Sadly, for reasons outside my control, I have had to withdraw from attending with our layout, Humphrey Road Sidings.

He has come to a forum ( an information exchange bereau ?) To a thread dedicated to the MRS show to comment on the fact that rules may still apply here that no longer apply to his part of the world. A timely reminder to others traveling up to our fair show to check they have what info they need to attend. Someone simply posted up a link to the relavent site GIVING that information (Thank you !) Reading your comment it came across almost as b#@@£& you jack, stop clogging up the thread with irelevent information TO ME ? As you say, Enjoy the show 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 23, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yes I can imagine some people may get caught out because the regulations in Scotland are different from UK . Ironically up here the need for Covid passports will end the day after exhibition so you will still need one . You also need masks for public transport and inside shops , which I understand you may not need down South Just things to be aware of Got my FFP3 mask so I'm looking forward to a good exhibition 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted February 23, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2022 Is it still 30mins early admission for advance tickets this year, or just advertised times? Getting excited now, travelling tomorrow for prompt entry on Friday. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I could have found it myself it is great to have it here as it makes things easy, especially for those of us who live south of the border. The rules are clear and simple to follow. I'm considering dancing round the exhibition so I won't need a facemask. Looking forward to visiting the show over the weekend.
