'Narrow Gauge in the Gardens', Exbury
Gardens, Hampshire.

The weekend of 19th and
20th June saw the second
'Narrow Gauge in the Gardens' Exhibition organised jointly by
the Wessex Narrow Gauge Modellers and the Exbury
Gardens Railway. The
exhibition was held in the engine / carriage shed
which is located at the main station on this very
attractive railway which runs through the beautiful
Exbury Gardens in the New Forest. A very
enjoyable weekend for both the visitors and
exhibitors alike. Well worth a visit to next year's
event - watch the diary for the dates. |
