We’ll start today with a few shots of people.  It was good to see Kerry and Invicta there, and they seem to be selling a few things. John and NScaleCH didn’t do as well…. BH Enterprises must have had a … Continue reading →

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

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 →

Links whilst we play trains

Posted on April 14, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

A few links for today.  I’ll hope to get a first report of the ESNG show up on Monday. How about a model of Kim Jong-un’s armoured train?  You make have difficulty modelling his haircut in ‘N’, though.  Lots of … 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 →

The Treasurer was beside himself – 16 whole people to take money off!!  I’m not sure where they all came from, but it was good to see a club night buzzing, and the tracks full of trains. Peter has been … Continue reading →

The next project(s) #2

Posted on April 5, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Somehow, the mojo has been sorely missing over the past month.  I’ve had a rethink about my N-club modules – nothing major – and have been thinking this through.  And life has been a bit busy – too many days … 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 →
