ESNG meeting – 23 March 2025
The warm weather must have brought the ESNG members out of hibernation, as there were ten of them around on Sunday afternoon. It’s always possible to find a Class 66 in a livery that you’ve never seen before…. USA goods…. … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 19 March 2025
A small working party today, as some couldn’t make it, and Chris and I were late. not much work was completed – we started off looking at improving one set of corners, then found that the other set were the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 9 March 2025
One more AbRail to come, but for now we return to the Sunday’s ESNG meeting. A lovely spring day outside, and eight members inside the hall. It was one of those days when everyone wanted to run trains, and the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 23 February 2025
Following Wednesday’s replacement bus service, Sunday was a very busy afternoon, with 11 members turning out. Was there a hint of spring, too? It was still light when we finished for the afternoon, and I forgot to put the hall … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 19 February 2025
Wednesday night, and although seven members trickled in, we didn’t quite get around to running trains. It was good to see Derek the Apps back in circulation. No.1 son Michael came down to run trains, after a long break, but … Continue reading
