Stuttgart – 2022 #3
One of the pleasures of the Stuttgart meet is operating a section of track – without any complex junctions and other pointwork. You need to be alert enough to spot trains coming, and whether there is room down the line … Continue reading

Stuttgart – 2022 #2
For the rest of the week, I’ll post some of Allan’s photos from the N-Club International meet at the Stuttgart Messe. It will be a bit of a photo dump, as I wasn’t there, and I may confuse a few … Continue reading
