ESNG meeting 17 October 2018 – and On my Workbench
A good turn out of 10 members at last week’s meeting – but missing the Cha(I)rman who is camping in Mayday Hospital (hopefully out now) with gall stones. They say they are just observing him – it’s a tough job … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 4 October 2018
Plenty of running at tonight’s meeting. Good to see John B up from the wilds of the Kent coast, as well as the usual suspects. Here we see some advanced electronics, wiggling the controller plug to make better contact…. Peter … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 6 September 2018
We’d just about recovered from Gaugemaster, and it was time to set up another layout for Thursday’s club night. A small circuit duly appeared, and eight members enjoyed running time. One or two of the weekend’s bargains were tested out….. … Continue reading
Gaugemaster show – 1-2 September 2018 #2
Next to us was the ‘OO’ modern image Oak Road. Based on Castle Cary station, the scenery captured the local Shepton Mallet hills very well. Lots of HST’s running by (but not photographed), and some fine modern diesels. We commented … Continue reading
Gaugemaster show – 1-2 September 2018 #1
We took a 3×1 modular layout to the Gaugemaster show. This really seems to be an optimum size, easy to transport and set up and large enough to impress at the show. The only drawbacks are the duck-under (crawl under … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 20 June 2018
A quiet evening with just the six punters, but everyone had brought some trains to run. Derek was having a Longmoor Military Railway evening, I had some new Dapol coaches, and Paul, surprisingly, had a number of bullet trains. Dereks’ … Continue reading

A couple up updates on club and blog…. Unfortunately we won’t be exhibiting at the Bluebell Railway model weekend in a couple of weeks time. They have overrunning building work and haven’t got room for us. Hopefully, it’s next year….. … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 08 June 2018
A good turn out tonight, and plenty of trains running – and the usual suspects! Trains included some period German railcars…. Allan’s milk train…. Paul’s usual long Japanese goods… And Simon’s USA superpower….

ESNG meeting – 16 May 2018
After Sunday’s monster N-mod layout, and lots of members, Wednesday was rather more restrained. But we still got trains running…. It was Terrier night, with my British Railways version (plus new Dapol Maunsell brake-composite.) Derek’s ‘Bodiam’…. And Derek’s ‘Earlswood’. Simon … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – PlayDay 13 May 2018
Another pleasant afternoon playing trains, with a bakers dozen or so of members and friends attending. Paul brought along part of his Kato Racetrack, with transition boards to change from Kato Unitrack to N-mod standards. 20′ of layout just about … Continue reading
