Breaking News! Cape Town will have a Model Train ONLY exhibition in 2015!!!
« on: December 02, 2014, 10:53:36 AM »
Wonderful news!

You might not know yet, but I got roped into the Cape Model and Toy club recently and straight into the committee for my trouble :biggrin:

One of the things Alan and Angus was striving for is a train only meet - this is now on!

Details:

Theo Marais Park Milnerton
20 / 21 February 2015

I think the Friday is for the setup only and the Saturday will be the "show" day.

I am so excited!!!

More info from Angus and Anita below. I have the forms if you want to sell or display - drop me an email or pm with your email address and I'll send you the form.

Please we need working layouts displayed.

Wesley, I think we need to see some of your work too. O scale is not common in SA.

Just a reminder, the closing date for entries to this show is this coming Monday, the 2nd of February.

I have 2 trade tables and a little modular layout (if I manage to finish the track laying  :P)...

I'll have a corner for our forum if you want to swing by and meet the faces. :biggrin:

So far I know of 3 N scale layouts, 1 HO Marklin and a live steam O scale (or bigger - its a sit on).

Then, Wesley's lovely O scale diorama...
