Mick Thornton, our
intrepid roving reporter, does not usually attend
mainstream model railway exhibitions, but was lured
to Chippenham due to the fact that there were no
less than 7 narrow gauge layouts in 009/HOe and HOm
on show. Apologies for photo quality due to
poor lighting conditions and huge metal barriers in
front of the layouts forcing Mick into snapshot mode
