A little more track laying

More work on Michael’s layout
A visit from Michael today, and we continued to lay track on his little layout. The main circuit is complete, and we just have to finalise, and lay, sidings on both sides of the layout. Nothing wired up yet, though, … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 5 September 2021
A very small meeting on Sunday, with just the four members. Perhaps the rest were confused by us moving the meeting forward a week, or just enjoying the late summer weather? But the four of us had a very sociable … Continue reading
