PART 1
For the 12th biennial NGS at Sparsholt College,
near Winchester, Alan Rolfe and the hosting Wessex NG Modellers put on another
fantastic day that once again proved to be a challenge to get round everything
as well as fit in the 009 Society AGM within the available time! 27 layouts
plus a further 3 on trade and society stands, amongst a total of 54 stands,
there was a feast of top quality layouts and modelling on display, all set in
the friendly atmosphere that this do is renowned for. Another overload of
shutter clicking from me to the extent that, once again I have had to split my
report into 2 instalments in order to provide what I hope is a fair
representation of everything that there was to see on the day – I’ve even had
to omit the traditional food photos this time (except for one!). I hope you
enjoy the selection I have chosen!
PART 2
Part 2 continues in the same room that we completed Part 1
in, where we had just looked at a splendid American 0n30 layout. Immediately
opposite was another American narrow gauge layout, this time in HOn30,
providing a good contrast and comparison for anyone still confused about size
and scale nomenclature! Still only about half way through our tour of the
diverse and entertaining selection of narrow gauge layouts that Exhibition
Manager Alan Rolfe had invited from near and far, like many others who
attended, I found it quite a challenge to get round everything allowing
sufficient time to enjoy all that I saw, and like others reported, I very
nearly missed out on a couple of rooms, but, having double checked the show
programme, I am as confident as I can be that I got at least a glimpse of every
layout present !
