ESNG meeting – 21 February 2018
We were missing both the Cha(I)rman on another anti-social milk round, and Mr Atfield dodging the rain (I think) in Cyprus. But with a number of visitors we had 12 people there and plenty of trains running. It was also … Continue reading

On my workbench #7
Delivery of a 450mm wide ‘half’ hollow door has provided a home for my new N-club modules – and indeed any other small layout in the future. After investing in a stud-wall detector, three large brackets support the door as … Continue reading

On my workbench #4
Progress! The second board for my N-club modules is wired and the three point motors fitted. The wiring looks neater in the photograph than in reality, but it is at least all held in place with hot glue, and the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 17 January 2018
A fairly quiet club evening – and sorely missing the Cha(I)rman’s tea making expertise. But there were some interesting trains on view. Derek ran this Peco Jubilee and Dapol Gresley coaches. A mismatch in both time and region, but a … Continue reading
