Hello and welcome to my twice reinstated and updated photo reports of visits to narrow gauge model railway layouts and events! Following the sudden and untimely cessation of Fotopic in March 2011 and with it the loss of my photo galleries, I started this blog in order to try to keep my "Roving Reports" available to those who enjoy viewing them. I have linked this blogsite to the old galleries which I originally rebuilt and posted in albums in Picasaweb. Once all the old reports had been rebuilt, I have continued to add completely new ones to cover my visits to events from April 2011 onwards.

In August 2016 Google blocked access to Picasaweb in order to force everyone to use their "much better" Google Images, so I had to do the whole exercise again. Thanks! .

Meanwhile......Because of the way this Blogspot works, the most recent postings appear first and the oldest ones last. Each report contains a link to the Google photo album plus captions for that report. The link will take you to the front page of the Google Album for this report. Left click on the first photo and it will open into a manually operated slideshow. A panel should open alongside the image on the right showing the number of the photo and the caption text. If it does not appear, click on the small white disk top right of the photo panel and it will open. Move forward or backwards by clicking the right or left arrows on your keyboard. When you have finished viewing, click the back arrow showing top left of the photo panel and this will take you back to the album opening page.

Close it in the normal way by clicking on the "X" top right or click the return arrow top left of the Windows screen to return to the blog, depending on which browser you use. Once back in the blog, any report can be accessed sequentially from the blog by scrolling downwards and if required, click on the "older posts" link at the bottom of the list, or simply go to the Blog Archive on the right of the window and select any report by simply clicking on the title.

12 October 2019, Tarrant Valley Railway and other NG Layouts at the Christchurch MRC exhibition. Catching Up Report 11 of 15

As 2019 continued, my free time became very restricted, so after the visit to Exeter back in June, I was not able to get to any more events during the summer. However when I learned that the Wimborne Railway Society were bringing their famous Tarrant Valley Railway, which I had not seen for quite a while, in October to the Christchurch MRC exhibition in Bournemouth, just 20 miles or so from my home, I managed to free myself up for a couple of hours, knowing that I couldn’t get to ExpoNG this year and this might be the last opportunity to get to a show with a NG presence for quite a while. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that there were also 3 other 009 layouts at the show and although I only had time for a brief visit to each of them, I’ve managed to include a few photos of these as well as the Tarrant Valley. Click on the link below and enjoy!
