ESNG modules

A few pictures today of our modules.  They will be familiar to regular readers!  As I’ve said, we took about 32′ of railway – I was surprised just how much there was when we linked it all together.  And generally speaking, it all worked very well, with just a few derailments along the line.  The section before us had a section of single track, so trains seemed to come along in waves.  Fortunately, the four-track N-mod section allowed us to store about six trains if we were unable to send them back down the line.

Our section started with Richard’s bridge and airfield.  He had left his excellent distribution depot at home, as it is in need of a few track repairs.  During the show, Richard added some youngsters having a kick-around to his football field.  They were extremely small and difficult to spot….

Next came my droned up airfield, complete with demonstrators….

The ESNG clubhouse (we wish), with cameos of past and present members in the car park, and a branch of our favourite curry house on site….

And my junction from N-club to N-mod standards.

Next, Derek’s ‘Dovercourt’.  This clever module has interchangeable scenic sections, allowing the tram depot to become a building site and new housing through the show.  As you can see, we have too many trains stuck in the station….

Round the corner with a club corner, also built by Derek.  The building on the module is a replica of the old NCI Stuttgart clubhouse.

And through Saggers Sidings (that had 4CEP EMUs, then Thomas and Friends) parked, and down to the return loop at the end of the line.

I think we were pleased at the appearance of our section.  I guess we’ll have to build a new module or two for next year, though.  Next time, I’ll post a few pictures of the many other modules on display.
