Despite the very hot afternoon, five intrepid ESNG members gathered to play trains. We’ll start with Brian’s video of the afternoon, as it includes the set up. We don’t really move that fast…. But where were the Hill’s Angels???? (Probably … Continue reading

Six members (and a visitor) turned up for the Wednesday meeting. We soon had a layout up and running, but did have a few electrical gremlins again – plugs removed and not put back fully. Some impressive American steam from … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 12 June 2022
