We were missing both the Cha(I)rman on another anti-social milk round, and Mr Atfield dodging the rain (I think) in Cyprus. But with a number of visitors we had 12 people there and plenty of trains running. It was also … Continue reading

On my workbench #7
Delivery of a 450mm wide ‘half’ hollow door has provided a home for my new N-club modules – and indeed any other small layout in the future. After investing in a stud-wall detector, three large brackets support the door as … Continue reading

On my workbench #6
Some more progress with buildings for the first module. These two half-relief row houses are Walther’s kits. The left hand one was salvaged from Earl’s Wood. The right hand one is new, but the kit has been ‘in stock’ since … Continue reading

On my workbench #5
More gentle progress – the first two buildings for the modules. One a Walther’s plastic kit, the other a wood craftsman kit of an ice house. The photograph is, of course, cruel! A little touching up of the ice house … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 17 January 2018
A fairly quiet club evening – and sorely missing the Cha(I)rman’s tea making expertise. But there were some interesting trains on view. Derek ran this Peco Jubilee and Dapol Gresley coaches. A mismatch in both time and region, but a … Continue reading
