ESNG meeting – 18 October 2023

Another non-meeting.  Few members were available due to illness, work and other things.  So we cancelled the meeting – probably a good thing, as it was a foul night.  We’ll have another go on Sunday. Between all other activities, I’ve … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 8 October 2023

We were away for the weekend, so I missed Sunday’s meeting.  I gather that there were 6.5 members present, plus a couple of visitors from West Sussex to talk about Stuttgart.  But Brian faithfully recorded some of the action. I … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 4 October 2023

ESNG meeting – 17 September 2023

A very busy afternoon, and a delighted Treasurer with 12 members and one small friend attending.  And this meant that there was no shortage of trains on show. Little, little and large.  Sean’s O8 and Allan’s Toby…. And Simon’s Challenger… … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 6 September 2023

A slightly odd month, as usual, in September, as our first Sunday meeting will be put back a week due to TINGS.  On Wednesday, nine members turned out on a boiling hot day to play trains.  We started with an … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 27 August 2023

It’s been a busy railway week.  The KESR on Wednesday, then on Saturday Allan, Richard, Derek and myself had an NCI testing day, to see if our N-club modules would connect to each other.  A little fettling to do, but … Continue reading

Modelling the KESR

After Wednesday’s trip on the Kent & East Sussex Light Railway, I was reminded what a lovely prototype it is for branch line or light railway modelling.  So here are the station plans, taken from the National Library of Scotland … Continue reading
