The three-point trick
I’ve always appreciated Ian Futer’s layouts, and their underlying designs. Some of his best designs are his three-point specials. Very simple, but with enough operation built in to be reasonably interesting to operate. This month’s Railway Modeller brought these plans … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 21 October 2020
A record breaking evening on Zoom. We started with just the four of us. That included an impressive display with John and Alpenbahn, and five trains running around. Paul was on-line, but no trains running, due to some wiring issues … Continue reading
Covid-19 diary #29 – Planning failures!
Progress on the railway continues to be limited to say the least. I continue to try and plan my next railway with little success. So many ideas, and so few that really excite! But the last few weeks have been … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – probably no?
Well, having read and reread the government guidance, I’ve reluctantly concluded that we can only entertain 6 members at a meeting at present. If we have more than 6, we have to have 2 groups and they are not allowed … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – yes, no yes?
Plans were underway for the reopening of ESNG later this month. We’d welcome a limited number of people to play trains, but make things as Covid-safe as possible. Then came yesterday’s government announcement limiting social gatherings again. So, perhaps it’s … Continue reading
More ESNG modelling
Some more projects underway by ESNG (to cover up the lack of progress on my part.) Simon is getting the hang of 3D printing….. One I did earlier. Chair car interior. But this project looks far more useful. I rather … Continue reading
