Having given a dishonourable mention to the ESNG representation, I’d better make a mention of the other layouts.  The show guide gave a list 0f 29 layouts.  When in the hall it maybe seemed like less, but (apart from the … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 3 September 2015

Posted on September 6, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

After a quiet summer, last night’s meeting was a lively one – even without the Chairman, who was suffering an overdose of early milk rounds.  It was good to see Simon back again, with the same Kato Santa Fe passenger … Continue reading →

Although tonight was a quiet evening, it was a good one.  Allan was back from his Swiss holiday.  No sun tan, but maybe a touch of rust.  I’m not sure the weather there was any better than our great British … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 6 August 2015

Posted on August 9, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

Another non-meeting tonight, I’m afraid.  With the Chairman and Treasurer on holiday, and Japanese Paul also missing, only 5 of us made the meeting.  So no trains running, just a good chat and home. Not much ESNG news, so here’s … Continue reading →
