ESNG meeting – 21 March 2018
A good social evening with 10 members present – and welcome to Paul, who dropped in and for some reason made Mr Apps’ evening by immediately joining. There seemed to be plenty of trains running, so many that I didn’t … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – PlayDay 11 March 2018
Another successful PlayDay, despite missing one or two regulars due to Mother’s Day. Apologies to those who couldn’t make it, but it there wasn’t another Sunday this month when the hall was free. Still, 10 members wasn’t a bad turnout. … Continue reading

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

ESNG turns 21 – the evidence?
East Surrey N Gauge is 21 this year, and we thought this auspicious date should be marked in some way. So this week Derek delivered a large cardboard box to me…. The contents were a 100 off for a Dapol … Continue reading

I’d hoped to report more workbench progress today, but work has been delayed by the timber yard losing my order, and my plastic filler going solid (well, it probably was 10 years old.) So a couple of links from Model … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 1 February 2018
A busy evening with a round dozen members attending (some more round than others.)Unfortunately we were still missing the Cha(I)rman’s tea making expertise. But the usual suspects were soon filling the fiddleyard. Derek brought along his Kato Kowloon Canton Railway … Continue reading
