Sad, sad, news

Posted on May 20, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Like many of the UK model railway community, I have been shocked and saddened by the news about the Market Deeping MRC show in Stamford.  As you have probably read, it had to be cancelled after four teenagers broke into … Continue reading →

Dorking MRC Spring Exhibition 2019

Posted on May 12, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Dorking MRC held their Spring Show in Redhill, so I dropped in as it was within walking distance.  A small show, but some good layouts, and I saw a number of friends to talk to. Dorking had their new ‘N’ … Continue reading →

On my workbench – one project complete

Posted on May 8, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

A while back I reported on me repainting Microtrains and Atlas coaches into Lehigh Valley colours.   These coaches are not exactly right for LV heavyweights, but they’ll do the job.  And I have finished the repaints – plus four … Continue reading →

Epsom Show – 2019 #2

Posted on May 1, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Herstmonceux in ‘OO’ models the LBSCR in Sussex.  A rural location, but as with anywhere south of London, the opportunity to run plenty of trains up to the ‘smoke’. Fintonagh (O-16.5) models an imaginary terminus on the 3′ gauge Clogher … Continue reading →

Epsom Show – 2019 #1

Posted on April 29, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

I often miss the Epsom & Ewell MRC show at nearby Epsom.  Some years it has been the same weekend as our ESNG exhibition, and others the week after – and after our own show, I’ve had enough of model … Continue reading →

NGSE and on my workbench

Posted on April 25, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Posted on April 11, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Feedback from the show has been very positive.  Our aim was to keep the friendly atmosphere of the usual ESNG show, and that is a feature (most of the time) of N Gauge Forum.  We achieved that, aided by our … Continue reading →

NGSE – 1

Posted on April 9, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

The show has been and gone, and I’ll admit to being very relieved.  And also delighted that it has been a great success.  The only problem with that is, everyone is already asking about 2020 – it’s too early to … Continue reading →

The day after the day before….

Posted on April 7, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Well, we’ve survived.  The NGSE show went off very well, with no great crises.  If the worst that happens is that the school cash machine runs out of readies, and that the tea urn takes for ever to warm up, … Continue reading →
