Welcome to my photo gallery, which contains selections of photos covering my visits to various narrow gauge modelling events over the past couple of years or so, showing the best that there is, in terms of narrow gauge model railway excellence.
I hope you enjoy viewing the photos, and look forward to meeting up with many of you at a narrow gauge show in the future.
HOUSEKEEPING TIME!
The collections have been steadily growing since I started this gallery in 2007, and the available space quota has been filling up, so in order to create some headroom for further additions, I have now removed all the collections dated prior to 31 Dec 2007.
The contents of these, and a great deal more, have been incorporated in my Roving Reporter Photo CD, Volume 4, which is an illustrated electronic book on CD with photos and written commentaries covering no less than 27 visits to events, meetings and individual layouts during 2006 and 2007. There are nearly 2500 photos of over 200 different layouts!
The CD was released at the 2009 009 Society AGM on 9 May and is still available by mail order. For ordering details, please visit the 009 Society website (there is an access link in the "links" panel on this page) and select the link on the opening page menu to the "Photo Collection CD" page. You do not have to be a member of the Society to access this site or to order one of the CDs!
NEW COLLECTION:
The end of October sees the clocks being put back, the start of the "SAD" (Seasonally Affected Disorder) season, dark wet nights, frost just around the corner and a general malaise descends upon everyone as they fortify themselves for the approaching Christmas shopping and spending "fun". One positive annual thing that keeps us all going through the winter however is Expong, traditionally held on the last Saturday of October. Another very well organised event and a grand day out was hosted by the Greenwich & District NGS and around 700 people braved the gridlock on the M25 approaching junction 3 and made their way to Swanley to take part, spend lots of money and generally enjoy each others company. I've tried to make my set of photos represent as much of the wide spectrum of Expong as possible and to hopefully capture some of the friendly atmosphere of the day. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them!
