GMD Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thought it might be worthwhile to start a thread on next week’s MRS. Anyone heading up (or across or down) to Glasgow? Pictures and Posts of TT120 stuff etc, after the event. I expect to be there for the Friday, but not more than that I’m afraid. Be great to meet other TT120 folk if possible!

Moccasin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I’m also heading up for a few hours on Friday. ‘Twill be my first model railway exhibition visit in decades I think! I think the next Train Terminal was promised to show-off development samples of something. The article may have been published by then, so probably won’t be a surprise, but it wI’ll be good to see something in person.

Dave the Busker Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'll be there at some point over the weekend, not sure which day yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Just noticed the glaring error in “will” in my last post. I will now go and sit in a corner and reflect on my poor spelling/typing/proof-reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Gentle bump to this thread. Heading away tonight to Glasgow - only got Friday at the SEC - hope to catch Moccasin and Dave if you're both about. Anyone else venturing to the wilds of old Caledonia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moccasin Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 See if you can spot me from my avatar - should I wear a green shirt?🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Lol - if you see someone looking confused and dishevelled that'll be me! (Point of information - does anyone ever look 'shevelled'?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Point of information - does anyone ever look 'shevelled'?) Interesting etymology: Dishevel(l)ed comes from Middle English discheveled, meaning "bareheaded" or "with disordered hair." That word is partially based on Anglo-French deschevelé, a combination of the prefix des- ("dis-") and chevoil ("hair"). In English, disheveled describes things other than hair that have a messy or untidy appearance. I hope I won't get my knuckles rapped for going off topic (again!). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellocoloco Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 With a bit of luck I'll be through at the SECC on Friday. I'll try and be at the Hornby stand at 13:00. I'll probably be the only one looking at Electrotren models (if any get brought). I'll keep an eye out for an unfeasibly tall guy, someone confused, and someone in a green shirt, though that only rules out half of Glasgow!

Dave the Busker Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Ha! Aye, I'd be wary of wearing anything very green or blue around here... 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaffsTT Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Enjoy the show all and remember TT120 content for us.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Will do. Hope to take plenty of pics. First exhibition in years for me so looking forward to it. Eyes peeled for the unfeasibly tall man and the chap trying to avoid to offend one half of the city or the other…! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just wear a white shirt with a red rose & offend them all… or perhaps not! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moccasin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Am currently enjoying LNER hospitality just south of Edinburgh. I forget how much I enjoy travelling by train for leisure. That said, the exprerience isn’t quite up to the standards of Rocky Mountaineer that I enjoyed to Banff or to Moab in the US last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I've a quick conf call to discover what's planned at work this year and then jump on a South bound train to Q.St. Should be at the show around midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moccasin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Martyn (?) was saying that he’s booked a holiday that week (Easter) and is having to return to Kent for the day. Can’t be moved because of the Hornby Magazine tie in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
