ESNG meeting – 1 November 2023
As Storm Ciarán approached just the five hardy members made it to club night. We’d brought trains so we set up the layout and got things moving. I had received my last Class 128 in that attractive Express Parcels livery. … Continue reading
Stuttgart approaching fast!
Just the three weeks to go before we set off for Stuttgart. Fortunately, I’m making progress on the ‘joker’ module (one that moves the main lines from one side of the board to the other) we need for the show. … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 22 October 2023

ESNG exhibition 2023
Another year, another show over. All went well on the whole. We were a little down on the usual numbers, perhaps partly due to the train strike on the day. However, we did get a good number of local families … Continue reading

Valley City Street & Interurban Railway

ESNG meeting – 24 September 2023
Yet another club meeting…. Although we ended up with six members there, we had little energy to set up a layout and run trains. Especially with the show coming up on Saturday. So we drank tea and put the world … Continue reading
