ESNG meeting – 10 October 2021
Eight members gathered this afternoon for the AGM and running day. It was good to see the Treasurer back after having a heart pacemaker fitted. There were, of course, the essential jokes that he had now gone DCC, and that … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 6 October 2021
Having laid the last siding on Michael’s layout, we headed off to a pleasant Wednesday evening ESNG meeting with seven members in attendance… Just a few photographs, as my phone ran out of juice. Here’s Simon’s lovely Santa Fe steamer… … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 26 September 2021

ESNG meeting – 1 September 2021
Paul’s assessment was, as usual, accurate…. Another East Surrey N Gauge Group meeting, the first Wednesday night get together I have been to for some months. A good turnout, nearly made double figures. A simple circuit sufficed for the trains … Continue reading

And Brian’s video of the afternoon…. ESNG Running Day – 22nd August 2021. Another opportunity to film some N gauge train action. Any era, any train – an interesting collection of small but perfectly formed models. Enjoy the film And … Continue reading
