Expo Narrow Gauge® 2009

ExpoNG is the familiar name for ‘Expo Narrow Gauge’, the model railway exhibition dedicated to modelling narrow gauge railways in all their forms. Held annually at the end of October by the Greenwich and District Narrow Gauge Railway Society in Swanley, England, it is the largest specialist Narrow Gauge railway modelling event held in the UK and probably the biggest in Europe. It includes narrow gauge model railway layouts and models in all major scales, traders and manufacturers from the UK, Europe and the USA, modelling and prototype societies, as well as demonstrations of modelling techniques.
