Back to the normality of a club night, with 9 attending.  A particular welcome to Paul, visiting for the first time. It was ‘Terrier’ night again.  Simon was running a second hand ‘Brighton Works’ and I test ran my three … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 15 May 2019

Posted on May 16, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

A rather quiet evening, with just the seven of us at club night.  We were missing both the Cha(I)rman (missing on a milk round) and the Chairman Elect (just missing), and a few others.  But we quickly set up some … Continue reading →

ESNG PlayDay – 12 May 2019

Posted on May 14, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Another pleasant afternoon running trains at the PlayDay.  We, of course, started with a curry, and were joined by Ron celebrating his 67th birthday.  And Miles, who demolished a large number of samosas after the Ruchita accidentally double up his … Continue reading →

On my workbench – one project complete

Posted on May 8, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

A while back I reported on me repainting Microtrains and Atlas coaches into Lehigh Valley colours.   These coaches are not exactly right for LV heavyweights, but they’ll do the job.  And I have finished the repaints – plus four … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 2 May 2019

Posted on May 4, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Busy couple of days, and didn’t get around to blogging – I did something useful instead! Thursday’s ESNG meeting didn’t really happen.  Our hall had become a polling station, so we moved into the church itself (of similar size) to … Continue reading →

NGSE and on my workbench

Posted on April 25, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Well, the dust has settled from NGSE.  Bad news is that the show went well and that means that I won’t get sacked as ESNG exhibition manager.  And I’ll have to start thinking about next year’s show. Perhaps the other … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 17 April 2019

Posted on April 19, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Maybe due to enthusiasm following the NGSE show, or perhaps the spring-like weather, about 14 turned up for Wednesday’s meeting.  Plenty of people and plenty of trains….   It was ‘Birdcage’ night, as both Neil and I tested our new … Continue reading →

NGSE – 2

Posted on April 11, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Feedback from the show has been very positive.  Our aim was to keep the friendly atmosphere of the usual ESNG show, and that is a feature (most of the time) of N Gauge Forum.  We achieved that, aided by our … Continue reading →

NGSE – 1

Posted on April 9, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

The show has been and gone, and I’ll admit to being very relieved.  And also delighted that it has been a great success.  The only problem with that is, everyone is already asking about 2020 – it’s too early to … Continue reading →

The day after the day before….

Posted on April 7, 2019 by snitchthebudgie

Well, we’ve survived.  The NGSE show went off very well, with no great crises.  If the worst that happens is that the school cash machine runs out of readies, and that the tea urn takes for ever to warm up, … Continue reading →
