Exhibition planning is well under way for the ESNG 2018 exhibition, and the first flyers are out….

Layouts on show will include:

• ESNG N-mod/N-club modular layout
• West Sussex group N-mod modular layout
• Forrestone (UK modern)
• Freshwater (2mm finescale IOW)
• City Basin Goods (BR Western Region)
• Maxwell (UK)
• St Elizabeth Street (UK modern)
• Berry Town (UK, BR era)
• Stoughton Road (UK)
• Fichtelbergbahn (Germany, Nm)
• Kato racetrack (Japan)

I’m pleased to have a 2mm finescale layout on show, and Duncan’s large Nm layout is also a new venture.  Both are part of the 2mm/N family, so I think they will add interest and variety to the show,

Trade will include:

• BH Enterprises
• NScaleCH
• Invicta
• JB Modelworld
• Ian Grace
• Club shop

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to use St Joseph’s School in 2019.  So we are going to hold a joint show with N Gauge Forum.  We’ve had initial discussions with Chris who runs the forum, and it looks a runner.  We’ll combine our experience of running a series of ‘N’ gauge shows, plus Chris’ contacts on NGF for access to layouts.  It should be a larger show than we have been able to hold to date, with more specialist ‘N’ gauge traders.  Perhaps the only down side is us having to leave our ancestral home of Redhill, plus access to Riddlesdown by public transport is not ideal.

But we’ve decided to give it a go.  To boldly go and all that jazz……
