ESNG meeting – 18 March 2015

Posted on March 20, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

A sort of routine evening – 9 members, plus a return visit from Graham – we obviously failed to scare him off last time when we had no trains running.  Also good to see Ian Carter, after missing the last … Continue reading →

Posted on March 16, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

A while back, I posted about planning the ESNG show and the room layout that I had come up with.  Indeed, I thought it was all set out nicely.  But over the past couple of weeks, and with four weeks … Continue reading →

ESNG PlayDay – 8 March 2015 #2

Posted on March 14, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

A few more views of our afternoon playing trains….. We were supposed to be working on the ‘gate’ ready for the show.  But it didn’t get far.  Talk is indeed cheap, and running trains was more interesting than laying track. … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 5 February 2015

Posted on March 6, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

I think this evening has been coming for some time.  At 7:30 there were only four members present, so we retreated to armchairs and waited for reinforcements.  Even the Cha(i)rman had cried off with a cold, so there was no … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 18 February 2015

Posted on February 20, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

A genuinely quiet evening.  Only seven members turned up, maybe the school-half term holidays cut numbers a bit?  However, we quickly got a small circuit up and running.  Derek and Allan were both running the new Dapol Maunsell coaches.  A … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 5 February 2015

Posted on February 6, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

‘Twas a cold and snowy night in Earlswood….  The faithful few got to the club night, and thought, surely we’re not putting the layout up tonight?  Then more and more people turned up with trains to run – 11 eventually.  … Continue reading →

Planning the exhibition

Posted on January 27, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

Putting a model railway exhibition together is a bit like a jigsaw.  You have the rooms, the traders needing tables, and most importantly the layouts themselves.  Some of these layouts will need a fixed size; others may be modular, so … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 21 January 2015

Posted on January 23, 2015 by snitchthebudgie

Well I wasn’t at last night’s meeting, as I was being wined and dined by the company for my 38 year’s service.  What a difference six months makes.  Last year it was proposed redundancy; this year it’s too much overtime … Continue reading →

Here are four video clips from the PlayDay.  The first three show a few of the trains running this afternoon, including my Deltic Pullman rake. The last shows the start of Paul’s 102 wagon goods train.  It extends through three … Continue reading →
