ESNG PlayDay – 11 November 2018

Posted on November 12, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Puts our hobby into a little perspective on Remembrance Sunday….. Our family was, perhaps, fortunate – I had two grandfathers who fought in WW1, and my father was on the Normandy beaches in WW2 – and they all came home.  … Continue reading →

On my workbench – a little distraction

Posted on November 10, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

With Stuttgart two weeks away, I had to admit that my modules just weren’t going to get finished.  Actually, I was beginning to lose interest in them again.  But I wanted to take something new along, so I thought I’d … Continue reading →

Posted on November 8, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Last Saturday was spent locally, supporting the 17th Reigate Scouts in a new venture for them, a Lego and model show.  We were not sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a very pleasant and relaxed day … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 1 November 2018

Posted on November 4, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Another busy evening, with 13 members in attendance.  And it was particularly good to see the Cha(I)rman back in circulation. There were so many trains running that I didn’t get to test my bargain from the Dapol website – a … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting 17 October 2018 – and On my Workbench

Posted on October 19, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on October 5, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on September 7, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on September 5, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on September 3, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on June 22, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

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 →
