I had lost track of our members’ holidays, and was pleasantly surprised by a positive sighting of Mr Atfield, who brought along his Royal Train for a test run. The fiddle yard looked a little bare – at least it … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 19 July 2017

Posted on July 25, 2017 by snitchthebudgie

A bit of a holiday atmosphere tonight.  We were missing one of the Derek’s, off on holiday somewhere, and Allan, with yet another early milk round.  We were wondering whether to bother running trains, but persevered, and it was worthwhile as … Continue reading →

Posted on July 15, 2017 by snitchthebudgie

Well, the ESNG AGM went off very well.  11 hardy souls tolerated an evening without running trains, and we had some excellent discussion as to how to take things forward.  Unfortunately the Cha(I)rman was missing, due to the yet another milk round … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 22 June 2017

Posted on July 3, 2017 by snitchthebudgie

I’d missed too many club meetings with travels and holidays, and was missing the chance to meet with friends and watch the trains go by. Early June we had a working party, where two workers were supervised by two others.  … Continue reading →

I’m back!  I’ve appreciated a month break from the blog, but have missed putting my railway thoughts and findings down on ‘paper’.  And a chance to offer modelling challenges like this one (picture picked up from a forum – trust … Continue reading →

ESNG Exhibition 2017 #3

Posted on April 19, 2017 by snitchthebudgie

Also in the corridor was Kuritu.  It’s unusual in three ways. It’s Japanese, it’s an inter-urban railway, and it has been designed to be viewed from both sides. A simple design, but it just ‘oozes’ Japan. Ian Lamkin lives just up … Continue reading →
