Burkitt Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Does anyone know whether the Narrow Gauge South West exhibition in Shepton Mallet will be running this year? According to their website at http://www.ngsw.org.uk/html/exhibition_dates.html it will be on February 20th, but the site doesn't look as if it has been updated since before the 2008 exhibition. Only one layout is listed as invited to the 2010 show. I've tried emailing the exhibition secretary via the address on the contacts page, but have not received a reply. I enjoy my annual visit to Shepton Mallet, but don't really want to make the two hour bus journey only to find that no one else has turned up!

RMweb Premium cornelius Posted January 23, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yes it is on on the 20th February. There is an advert in the latest OO9 News - 27 layouts due to attend so it should be a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 29, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well I just got confirmation for Rhatia, getting a bit worried I'd imagined it as nothing from Howard turns out he missed me off the final mailing shot by mistake. Day after I get paid too so that's going to be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Looks like 009Matt's East Hants Light Railway and my Lynnbottom will be there as well (late entries!) Looking forward to seeing Rhatia and catching up with you, Burkitt! (You managed to avoid being photographed with me at Warley by taking the photo, IIRC!)

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 12, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2010 The S&DRG site has been updated with the confirmed layouts, there are also pages for 2011 & 12 labelled up with 2010 only the link button tells the true story if you hover over it. These are the 2010 pages http://www.ngsw.org.uk/html/2010_layouts_page_1.html http://www.ngsw.org.uk/html/2010_layouts_page_2.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkitt Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I had a great time at NGSW on Saturday. Pempoul was a particular highlight among the many impressive layouts, and I also really liked the "what if?" model of the electrified PB&SSR. I've put a video of a selection of the layouts on Youtube, and below are a few of the photos I took as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IahKJqU37ms Beddgelert 1910 Sand Point Rhaita Con-Go Bananas Latham's Brewery Picture This The locomotive of the Merioneth and Llantisilly Railway Traction Company Limited Blackwood Valley Railway Pempoul Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
