Pictures at an (ESNG) exhibition #1

Another year, another exhibition negotiated.  And another moderate success, though I say so myself.  We cleared over 200 through the doors, and received plenty of positive comments from the visitors.  Perhaps the best complement was the length of time people … Continue reading

What’s at the ESNG show?

With just three days to go, and with a number of last minute changes to the line-up, here’s what there is to see on Saturday.  Despite the changes, I think it will be a good show! Layouts N-Mod (x3) From … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 2 April 2015

Last meeting before the show!  And a good turnout, with 11 people at the meet.  We obviously all preferred running trains to watching politicians go head-to-head on television – what a no-brainer.  Had the Hon. Treasurer had stayed in to watch the debate?  Then … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 18 March 2015

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

ESNG PlayDay – 8 March 2015 #2

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

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

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

‘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
