ESNG meeting – 3 August 2022
Back again for the Wednesday meet. A respectable seven members turned up to play trains. And good to see Allan and Derek back from their respective holidays. Some trains were tested ready for our visit to the Bredgar & Wormshill … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 31 July 2022
I wasn’t sure how many would turn up for the Sunday meeting – we’d moved it back a week to avoid a hall booking, and several regulars were away or sent apologies. But 6 members rolled in, and we managed … Continue reading
More retail therapy (and some trains)
Oh dear – another impulse buy of three rather expensive books. But they’re a brilliant read…. Three volumes of Peter Tatlow’s magnum opus on railway cranes, new and old, little and large. I’m never going to use this for modelling … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 15 June 2022
Six members (and a visitor) turned up for the Wednesday meeting. We soon had a layout up and running, but did have a few electrical gremlins again – plugs removed and not put back fully. Some impressive American steam from … Continue reading

The usual five suspects arrived for Wednesday’s running night. Another strong Southern representation. Derek’s Warship and Chris’ ‘N’ both headed green coaches….. I tested a ‘new’ Somerset and Dorset Jinty, pulling a train of PO wagons…. Breaking the Southern theme … Continue reading
