Posted on March 3, 2016 by snitchthebudgie

It’s a month to go to the 2016 ESNG show.  And it’s the usual time when I wonder what I’ve forgotten to organise!  I think it’s all there.  We have the layouts, the traders, the hall and the insurance.  Publicity … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 17 February 2016

Posted on February 18, 2016 by snitchthebudgie

No report for yesterday’s meeting, I’m afraid.  I have the poor excuse that I am sitting in Singapore for a week, having been asked to visit and do a presentation at rather short notice.  OK, it’s a hardship posting, but … Continue reading →

Another Thursday meeting, and despite the Chairman and Secretary being cream-crackered, and the Treasurer being sick and mental, we soon had a circuit up and running.  The usual suspects are seen hard at work playing trains….. A good turnout of … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 20 January 2016

Posted on January 23, 2016 by snitchthebudgie

Eight hardy members braved the sub-zero temperatures for Wednesday’s club night.  Fortunately the hall heating was working well, and I think it was warmer than my lounge at home.  Mainly the usual suspects, but it was good to see Roger, who seemed … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – PlayDay 10 January 2016

Posted on January 11, 2016 by snitchthebudgie

Another successful afternoon playing trains, with a reasonable turnout of 8 members.  The usual suspects were, of course, in evidence…. I brought along my 1960’s container train to run.  I still need to add all the chains and shackles to … Continue reading →

A new year – and a good meeting to start it.  9 members came out to run trains.  Derek brought along some modern RailTrack permanent way trains.  The specialised wagons used for ballast and the like are always interesting in any … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 16 December 2015

Posted on December 19, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

Another busy evening, and I again took home the Brighton Belle unopened.  We had 10 members present, plus a most excellent chocolate cake from Miles and Sue.  The cake went home smaller, and we went home larger.  It seemed to … Continue reading →

Last weekend ESNG spent two days exhibiting at the Garden of England Model Fest, at Cooling’s Garden Centre, located at the whimsically named Pratt’s Bottom, near Sevenoaks.  A new show, aiming to make some money for charity, it was held … Continue reading →

Plenty of trains running tonight, with 10 members present.  Allan cried off, as he was not feeling well – well, at least his knees were out of sorts.  Graham and Simon managed to both bring their Kato Santa Fe Super … Continue reading →

In between all the N-Club modules, there were a few interesting layouts to be found.  This HO empire is a regular, with plenty of good scenic work. It was interesting to see plenty of Nm narrow gauge on display, perhaps … Continue reading →
