From our northern correspondent #2
More from the frozen north! Bron Hebog (OO9) was probably the best layout in the show (a difficult choice as there seemed to be such a fine selection.) An expansive layout captures trains in the landscape near Beddgelert station on … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 14 December
I seemed to have taken a week off from blogging – it’s been busy and I don’t seem to have had much to say. (At last he’s realised, I hear you say.) But it was a busy running day on … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 5 November
An auspicious day that probably caused the heated political discussion over fish and chips. Six members came along to the working party, and a seventh joined us for the running night. Allan was working on ERIC and repairing the roof. … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 26 October
October has been a funny five-week month with club meetings at odd intervals. The last Sunday of the month saw the clocks going back, and as many as nine ESNG members playing trains. I arrived very late due to a … Continue reading
