7 March 2010, Romsey Model Railway Exhibition

I made a flying morning visit to Romsey on 7 March in order to take the first opportunity of seeing Howard Coulson's new HOe Belgian layout "Beaulieu les Mines". Like his previous well known East African "Eitomo", which clocked up over 100 exhibition attendances before passing to a new owner, the new layout is full of colour and once Howard has populated the busy and narrow streets of the town with figures, it will be a bustling scene that is full of life. Lots of potential and it was a pleasure to see the new layout "in the flesh" after the long months for Howard of getting it to an exhibitable state. A further opportunity to see this new layout will occur on 10 April at Narrow Gauge South.

An added bonus was another brief encounter with Graham Lindley's popular and also very colourful 009 "Lyddbridge", which I have photographed on numerous previous occasions, but there are always new angles to find and new items of stock to capture in the lens!
