ESNG meeting – 19 July 2023

We started today’s meeting with a working afternoon.  Five members started off, to be joined by another later.  An afternoon of variable success.  I managed to get the last bits of railway out of the church office.  The last two old (25 years) corners went to the tip, and I salvaged the timber from the carrying frames.  The canal scene has always been the best corner scenically, so we managed to prise out the canal scene from the rest of the board.  I hope to use this in an NCI module.

The rest of the afternoon was less successful, as Derek and Derek tried to work out how to put the wheels on the carrying trolley for the new corners.  Next time, we hope to have the answer!

Come the evening, we were joined by yet another member, to run a few trains.  I put my new Ferry Wagons on the track.  Despite some fettling, they are still running stiffly, and could do with a little more weight.  But they do look good.
