Last Sunday in the month, and time for the ESNG to convene again. A fine turn out of 10 members today. Simon was running a series of American locos and a long passenger train. Action on the main line, British … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 17 August 2022
We pause our exploration of Manx trains for another ESNG meeting. It was an easy Wednesday, as we didn’t have to set up a layout – I realised on Sunday that with the summer holidays no one was using the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 20 July 2022
