ESNG meeting – 23 April 2023
Another meeting, but another six members (plus a guest) turned up. The usual layout was set up – this arrangement gives some interesting running, but is quick to put together. I have seen the future, and it is PINK (thank … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 9 April 2023
I wasn’t able to stay at Sunday’s meeting, but there were five or so members present, who had a quiet afternoon playing trains. Allan channelled his inner Brian, and took this short video…. I was rather taken by this photo, … Continue reading
