25 October 2008 - Expo Narrow Gauge, Swanley

ExpoNG is always a special event in the NG modelling calendar, but this year it was more so than usual - the 40th anniversary of the Greenwich & District NG Society, who organise the event, plus the 25th ExpoNG, and a particularly poignant event due to the recent tragic loss of long-term G&DNGS Chairman, Dave Brewer. Dave was a larger than life character who was at the forefront of both narrow gauge modelling and involvement with the full sized versions, in this country and in France. Everyone who has anything to do with the hobby will at least know of Dave even if they did not know him personally, his presence will be sadly missed.


The show this year marked a special effort by all who participated to pay tribute to the memory of Dave and to support Hazel and Stuart, who courageously decided to continue fully in the organisation of this special show. I certainly thought that the event this year was a very good one, and everybody that I know who attended had the same feelings. If you didn't manage to be there, hopefully my selection of photos will provide a glimpse of the range of top quality modelling in a wide spread of scales that was present.
