ESNG meeting – 15 March 2023
Seven members again tonight, and a relaxed evening playing trains. The treasurer returned after a touch of covid, but it must have affected him as he forgot to collect the subs from two members. It doesn’t take long to set … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 12 March 2023
A reasonable turnout of seven members on Sunday, especially considering that a number of people dropped out from illness and other problems. We soon had a circuit up and running, and having Neil, Sean and Lucas attending meant that there … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 29 January 2023
Not a good start to the afternoon when I received this photo from Allan & Derek, returning from the Eastleigh exhibition….. A car fire (seen in the distance) had held them up on the M3, but they rolled in to … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 18 January 2023
Another working afternoon trying to debug the fiddle yard. A few broken wires, a few dry solder joints, and some incorrectly wired plugs. We’d just about given up, then a plate of fish and chips gave new inspiration, and suddenly … Continue reading
