ESNG meeting – 9 February 2025
Another Sunday meeting, and to my surprise, nine members and our junior turned up. The usual suspects were filling the fiddle yard…. Sometimes words fail me (!!) No erudite/amusing/rude captions suggest themselves today, so here, in no particular order, are … Continue reading
Alton FEBEX 2025 #2

Southampton MR exhibition 2025 #2
Onward! I was going to write this up last night, but we were suddenly invited out for a curry by some old friends. You can guess my priority here…. Some fine O gauge modelling on Staindrop, picturing the ex-NER in … Continue reading

Another Saturday morning, and a slightly different five ESNG members again filled Allan’s van. This time we headed south for the Southampton exhibition. This is one of the larger club-run shows, and this year was as good as the last … Continue reading
