You will have noted an easing off of blog posts, gentle reader.  I’m having a bit of a break, and for a while will only be posting on ESNG meetings, exhibitions and the occasional extra.  I say this most years, and then get a whole lot of photos to post.  We’ll see what happens….

Seven members gathered for yesterday’s ESNG meeting – not bad as one regular member has gone down with covid again (I blame the cat) and another was on family duties.  We soon had a good circuit set up, and there were plenty of trains in the fiddle yard.

Richard and Derek gave things a military flavour, from Switzerland and the UK.  Allan’s inspection coach was keeping a careful eye on procedings.

The inevitable Class 59 from Sean, with a good long train of wagons.

Sean’s venerable EMU – one of the first he built.

And Allan’s spoil wagons have acquired some loads.

The track was playing up a little, so we sent round the inspection unit.

Phil ran his usual variety of trains.

And Brian ran German passenger and goods trains.

As well as taking the usual excellent video of proceedings.
