We would have been in Stuttgart :-( – 3

ESNG meeting – 21 October 2020
A record breaking evening on Zoom. We started with just the four of us. That included an impressive display with John and Alpenbahn, and five trains running around. Paul was on-line, but no trains running, due to some wiring issues … Continue reading
