Narrow Gauge Now 2024

Narrow Gauge Now 2024

.... was held at Portland College, on Saturday October 26th 2024. Attendance was significantly up on last year with a total of 350 narrow gauge modellers coming along. We would like to thank all the layout owners, demonstrators and trade stand staff for their support, the volunteers who organised the event, and particularly you for coming along and enjoying it!

The guide is shown below for you to download and print, along with a selection of photos from the day. There will be a show report in the December edition of the 009 News.

Just for fun, we held a visitors poll for the "best layout in the show", and the top three results were as follows:

1. Royd Moor 009 Peter Oates

2. Staines Barn 009 Richard Doe

3. (Joint) Glenties 00n3 Alastair Knox & Port William 009 David Wright
