A little more progress on the club fiddleyard today.  We’ll get there eventually.  A brace of Derek’s carried on tracklaying. I got some wiring completed for the point frogs. This a most impressive layout.  Very realistic scenery, especially the forest. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 27, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

A very quiet afternoon, with just the four members present.  Plus Ron, the ESNG honorary auditor, lured south by the promise of a curry.  Excuses from other regulars ranged from the reasonable – I’ve a fence to fix – to … Continue reading →

Remembering Dreibruken

Posted on February 16, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Many moons ago, ESNG renovated Dreibruken, a 25 year old Swiss layout that was donated to the club. Dreibrucken was a firm exhibition favourite, but the old lady was finally a bit past it and retired.  In 2005, Dreibruken appeared … Continue reading →

ESNG fiddleyard progress

Posted on February 8, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

More progress on the club fiddleyard today.  Slow, but sure.  No Simon due to cat pee problems (don’t ask), but two Derek’s hard at work.  We tidied up the extra baseboard ready for a cover and tracklaying.  We then started … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 23 January 2022

Posted on January 24, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

What a difference a few days makes – ten-and-a-half members present this afternoon for a solid afternoon running trains and socialising.  It was a sad afternoon, as it (probably) was Paul’s last club meeting with us.  We shall miss him … Continue reading →
