ESNG Open Day 2023 (again)

Posted on April 18, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Three short videos from Allan, showing that trains did move (occasionally.)  I probably should have edited the sound off – I’m sure it wasn’t that noisy!!!! None of us could fill an ERIC style model of this facility – amazing! … Continue reading →

ESNG Open Day 2023

Posted on April 16, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Well, that’s the Open Day done and dusted.  As usual quite hard work, but a success and we had a lot of fun with a glorified running day.  We were unsure how many would turn up through the door, but … Continue reading →

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2023

Posted on March 22, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

I bottled out of fighting my way to Ally Pally last weekend.  I gather that it was a very successful show and very well attended – Allan described Saturday as a scrum, and it was difficult to get near anything.  … Continue reading →

ESNG Open Day 2023 – a month to go

Posted on March 8, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

The modelling mojo has been rather low recently.  And as regulars here will notice, I’ve been a bit short on ideas for posts.  I need to rearrange the railway room, I think, so I can find things. But I have … Continue reading →

Posted on February 20, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

I guess the last post had my favourites from Tonbridge.  But there were plenty of layouts to see, and here are most of the rest…. We’ll start with Feltham Road (OO).  Loco shed layouts are the current in-thing, I guess, … Continue reading →

Tonbridge MRC show 2023 #1

Posted on February 18, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Saturday morning and a visit to the Tonbridge show – by train.  I was going to do this in 2019, but there were engineering works and a replacement bus service, so I just didn’t bother.  Then came covid….  The trip … Continue reading →

Erith MRS exhibition 2023

Posted on January 30, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Saturday, and another morning in the company of Mr Dawes.  Collected early to have time for a breakfast – as a retired milkman, I’m convinced that Allan knows every cafe in the south-east…..  Even after a top-up of tea and … Continue reading →

Canterbury MRS exhibition 2023

Posted on January 24, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Last Saturday, I paid a visit to the Canterbury show with Messrs. Dawes and Atfield.  Visiting shows like this is also good for the drive there through the countryside.  Saturday was no exception, and a cold, sunny morning was best … Continue reading →

ESNG Open Day 2023 – publicity!

Posted on January 22, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Here’s the flyer for April.  Black and white so that I can run them off at home – though of course my laserjet cartridge gave up when I tried to print a batch. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s running session included a slight … Continue reading →

ESNG exhibition 2023 – what’s happening

Posted on January 18, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

We were (or rather, I was) a bit slow getting a show together for April, so we’ve moved our annual show to the end of September this year, and will hold an Open Day at our usual time around Easter.  … Continue reading →
