ESNG meeting – 3 July 2014

Of course, I forgot the camera this meeting.  Paul broke his previous records by running a Japanese push-pull train around a 9 x 9 circuit.  His next aim is the 100 wagon goods train.  Now we were doing that in the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 18 June 2014

I was a bit late getting to the meeting tonight.  Thank you SouthWest trains for stranding me at Kew Bridge Station for half-an-hour.  The problem – not just a broken down train at Mortlake but a dodgy level crossing at … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 5th June 2014

Not much to report on this meeting.  A good turnout and an interesting variety of trains running.  Pick of the bunch was the new Bachmann ‘Deltic’.  They have retooled this already good model into something special.  The end curves on … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 21 May 2014

A ‘normal’ club meeting – if there is such a thing and if the members qualify as ‘normal’.  That reminds me of doctor’s abbreviations for patients.  One of the better (and repeatable) ones was NFN or ‘normal for Norfolk’.  ‘Nuff … Continue reading

ESNG Exhibition 2015 !!?!!

An exhibition manager’s work is never done.  We’re still finalising the accounts from the 2014 show a month ago, and I am beginning to think about 2015.  This may be slightly presumptuous, as I won’t know whether I am still … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 01/05/2014

After the post-exhibition lethargy, back to a normal running night.  We got a circuit up and running, but seemed to have some problems here and there – a broken rail end just about holding together, and something wrong with the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 16/04/2014

This can best be described as a typical post-show meeting.  After a very, very, slow start, we did have 10 members turn up, but there was no move to put a circuit up, and we were very happy to sit … Continue reading

ERIC goes American

Also seen at the ESNG show this year was Eric the roundhouse full of my American locomotives.  We’ve had Eric full of (UK) Southern Railway Pacific’s, and full of Taurus electric’s.  But this year, it was full of REAL locomotives – mainly Alco’s and mainly … Continue reading

ESNG 2014 Exhibition – the day after!

Well, we’ve got through another exhibition, and it seems to have been a success.  At least, all the club members enjoyed it, and we received plenty of compliments from the exhibitors and the visitors.  Numbers were good.  Not quite as … Continue reading

Countdown to ESNGtacy (with apologies to Steely Dan)

We panic onwards towards the 12th April and the ESNG show.  Of course, it all happens at once doesn’t it.  My wife is due for a hip replacement on the same day (hi-op not to be confused with hip-hop), but luckily … Continue reading
