Posted on August 10, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

Sunday, and back to the hall for another running session.  The Rule of 6 seems to have returned.  Just the six members turned out, but we had a very pleasant afternoon running trains.  We were missing a few regulars, especially … Continue reading →

Posted on August 4, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

Seven members tonight.  Not too bad for a Wednesday.  It was easy enough to get a circuit up and running, more difficult to keep the trains on our appalling track!  Here we have the usual suspects in action….. Chris had … Continue reading →

Some smallish layout designs….

Back to the hall on Sunday for our afternoon meeting.  Great to have nine members attending – enough to be busy and sociable, but not too crowded in the hall.  Door and windows were open for ventilation, though we had … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 21 July 2021

First ‘open’ ESNG meeting, though the number of COVID cases locally has meant that we kept the hall well ventilated, and masks were welcomed, if optional.  So of course we got exactly six members attending.  And had a very pleasant … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 11 July 2021

Posted on July 12, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

This should be the last locked down meeting.  Who knows what lies ahead, but I hope that we can have some relatively normal club nights for a while.  We’ll keep windows and doors open, keep a little distance, and anyone … Continue reading →

non-ESNG meeting – 7 July 2021

Posted on July 10, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

No club meeting on Wednesday, due to half of the six due to attend having football-related excuses.  I declined to stand in for the missing members for obvious reasons.  I commented after the event: Worth missing ESNG for! However, Derek, … Continue reading →

Coming soon

Posted on July 4, 2021 by snitchthebudgie

Don’t forget to add this to the diary for July – the N Gauge Forum virtual exhibition.  I’ve got my American switching layout in the show.  Not as good as the real thing, but a lot safer than a real … Continue reading →

Extra Sunday meeting on the 27th, but I wasn’t there for long due to a lot of enthusiastic members and the Rule of 6.  But I’m sure they had fun!  Comments from Paul…. A pleasant afternoon playing trains in Earlswood. … Continue reading →
