ESNG exhibition 2018 #3

Posted on April 20, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

On the Wednesday night after the show, we thought that there might be a low turn out of members.  Correct, just the six of us.  However, we had thought ahead and asked Paul to bring some Kato track along.  We … Continue reading →

ESNG exhibition 2018 #2

Posted on April 18, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

We were fortunate to get into the school early, at 4pm, as Derek’s influence remained, despite retiring as caretaker, and he was entrusted with the keys.  The rooms that we were using quickly took shape thanks to the good number … Continue reading →

ESNG exhibition 2018 #1

Posted on April 16, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Well, that’s another exhibition done and dusted.  I’ll report more fully through the week, but here are my initial thoughts. Numbers were a little down on last year.  This was probably due to it being the last weekend of the … Continue reading →

Getting very close!

Posted on April 12, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

It’s getting very close now. All seem to be organised (barring an outbreak of plague in Redhill, or WWIII due to world leaders with dodgy haircuts). The home made cakes are getting made, and I’m off to buy the (real) … Continue reading →

Dates for your diary….

Posted on April 1, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

If you fancy a day out in the Kent countryside, the Bredgar & Wormshill Railway open day is recommended.  A little railway in a big garden, and some model railways too.  Kerry & Vernon of Invicta are involved, and Cha(I)rman … Continue reading →

East Anglian Model Railway Exhibition 2018 #2

Posted on March 16, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Some layouts capture their location perfectly.  I’ve just taken the single shot of ‘Sidmouth’ in P4, as I’ve captured it in detail elsewhere, but this is one of the best layouts around, modelling the Southern West Country station to scale. … Continue reading →

East Anglian Model Railway Exhibition 2018 #1

Posted on March 14, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Last Saturday, on the road again with Mr Atfield.  We started off at Brentwood toy fair, that was a disappointment – last visit had lots of ‘N’ gauge, this time next to nothing.  We then continued north to Huntingdon for … Continue reading →

Reigate Model Railway Exhibition 2018

Posted on February 20, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

I walked over to Woodhatch on Sunday afternoon for a quick look at Dakota Dibben’s Reigate exhibition.  I wasn’t going to go, but a model railway exhibition in walking distance of home was worth the effort, and Sean and Allan … Continue reading →

Chiltern Model Railway Exhibition 2018 #2

Posted on January 21, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

How did the show match up with last year?  There was a lot more ‘N’ and 2mm modelling on show, but overall I felt that there were less ‘inspirational’ layouts than last year.  But this is of course a subjective … Continue reading →

Chiltern Model Railway Exhibition 2018 #1

Posted on January 17, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Time out with Mr Atfield on Saturday, visiting two shows north of the river (Thames).  We started at the Brentwood toy fair.  These things are a real lottery for ‘N’ gauge – it’s OK if you want to buy Hornby … Continue reading →
