ESNG meeting – 15 April 2015
There was a distinct post-exhibition lethargy amongst the members tonight. We didn’t much feel like putting up the N-mod. But then young Bruno arrived with trains to run, together with Paul and Peter, so we quickly got a small circuit together. … Continue reading
Pictures at an (ESNG) exhibition #2
Today, a few picture of the non-modular, stand-alone, layouts…. Kuritu Writing this post, I was surprised to realise that Kuritu was the only non-modular, non-ESNG layout – due to three layouts dropping out of the show (all for very good … Continue reading

Pictures at an (ESNG) exhibition #1

Jon’s modules – ‘Earl’s Wood’ progress

ESNG meeting – 2 April 2015
Last meeting before the show! And a good turnout, with 11 people at the meet. We obviously all preferred running trains to watching politicians go head-to-head on television – what a no-brainer. Had the Hon. Treasurer had stayed in to watch the debate? Then … Continue reading
