Apparently there will be a 'Great Virtual Model Railway Show 2020' on Facebook this weekend.
I don't fully understand it and I don't know how well narrow gauge will be represented and I make no warranty, but here is the link:

It will effectively be a whole pile of posts from people showing pictures and texts about their layouts, and adverts from traders. It is one of those things that you scroll through and look at the bits that interest you and skip the others.
If you want to join in just sign up and upload some pictures. FB has a huge budget so just drag and drop pictures directly onto your post, it is easier than using most other forums.
There are quite a few 009 layouts there; you do have to scroll through to find them...
I am disappointed to see a lot of posts appearing on the show site that are not directly to do with layouts or traders. It is degenerating into bad jokes, comments about the public - body odour etc, and the catering. This is NOT what the public (and it is a public show) expect.
I have messaged the admins with my concerns and suggested they start a post for exhibitors to put this sort of thing. We don't behave like this at real shows (at least not in the public's hearing!) We should not do it there.
And yes there are a few of "us" exhibiting in this show...
Sadly it is being taken down due to abusive comments.
I didn't have a problem with some of the funny comments, but it did make it harder to find the good stuff. I have suggested that next time all posts need to be moderated so they only allow exhibitors to post.
