ESNG meeting – 19 October 2016

The treasurer was beside himself this evening – 14 or was it 15 members present and all that money to collect.  Good numbers made for a very pleasant evening, with plenty of trains running, and time to talk to people – … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 6 October 2016

We had a slow start to the evening, with Derek the At sunning himself in Portugal, and the Cha(I)rman suffering from an overdose of early milk rounds.  The rails looked a bit empty, as Paul was also on holiday, so … Continue reading

ESNG PlayDay – 25 September 2016

What an excellent afternoon playing trains.  13 paying members, and the treasurer missed the excitement of collecting so much money.  Plus three guests, and with three separate railways set up the hall was getting rather full. We put a large N-mod … Continue reading
