Who is the ESNG mole?
Who is the ESNG club ‘mole’? I read this article in our local free paper and its web site last week: Redhill model railway enthusiasts announce date of next annual show The group, whose members, working to N-gauge standards, take … Continue reading
The budgie has flown – for now
Off on a well-earned holiday for a week. So no computer, no Wi-Fi, no posts and probably withdrawal symptoms. But I’ve left a couple of articles that (I hope) will publish themselves. And I will return…….

ESNG AGM – 16 July 2014
It’s AGM time again. The chance for the members to rebel against the committee and stretch out the meeting for hours debating minor issues – then vote them back again to continue running the club. But tonight was different – … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 3 July 2014
Of course, I forgot the camera this meeting. Paul broke his previous records by running a Japanese push-pull train around a 9 x 9 circuit. His next aim is the 100 wagon goods train. Now we were doing that in the … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 18 June 2014
I was a bit late getting to the meeting tonight. Thank you SouthWest trains for stranding me at Kew Bridge Station for half-an-hour. The problem – not just a broken down train at Mortlake but a dodgy level crossing at … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 01/05/2014
After the post-exhibition lethargy, back to a normal running night. We got a circuit up and running, but seemed to have some problems here and there – a broken rail end just about holding together, and something wrong with the … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 16/04/2014
This can best be described as a typical post-show meeting. After a very, very, slow start, we did have 10 members turn up, but there was no move to put a circuit up, and we were very happy to sit … Continue reading
