A pleasant Sunday afternoon with six members present and sometimes correct.  The usual layout was quickly set up, and trains running. Plenty of variety today.  Swiss trains from Allan and Richard…. Colourful American steam from Simon…. Phil ran a mail … Continue reading →

Posted on March 26, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

We return to the bubblecars, and I make no apology for repeating this atmospheric picture of the approach to Brighton.  Must admit, I wouldn’t mind a model of that EMU in the background. Research at the time (for research read … Continue reading →

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2023

Posted on March 22, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

I bottled out of fighting my way to Ally Pally last weekend.  I gather that it was a very successful show and very well attended – Allan described Saturday as a scrum, and it was difficult to get near anything.  … Continue reading →

Looking at all the projects that I have started, and need to finish, I’ve decided to have a few weeks of trying to finish a few things – before returning to the Minories.  Of course, I may decide to build … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 15 March 2023

Posted on March 16, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

Seven members again tonight, and a relaxed evening playing trains.  The treasurer returned after a touch of covid, but it must have affected him as he forgot to collect the subs from two members. It doesn’t take long to set … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 12 March 2023

Posted on March 14, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

A reasonable turnout of seven members on Sunday, especially considering that a number of people dropped out from illness and other problems.  We soon had a circuit up and running, and having Neil, Sean and Lucas attending meant that there … Continue reading →

ESNG Open Day 2023 – a month to go

Posted on March 8, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

The modelling mojo has been rather low recently.  And as regulars here will notice, I’ve been a bit short on ideas for posts.  I need to rearrange the railway room, I think, so I can find things. But I have … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 1 March 2023

Posted on March 2, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

We met for another pre-meeting work party, and the five of us sorted out a number of odds and ends on the fiddle yard.  In particular, we think that we have fixed the microswitches that were playing up, and added … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 26 February 2023

Posted on February 28, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

A quiet but sociable last meeting for February – 6 members present.  We knew that several people were otherwise engaged, so we settled for a quick 2×0 layout, and got down to running trains. Long and sometimes fast trains passing … Continue reading →

Random thoughts

Posted on February 26, 2023 by snitchthebudgie

All sorts of odds and ends today. I was amused by these cartoons.  All too true! Mojo has been a bit low for railways this week.  So I did a bit more on my German WWII command vehicle for a … Continue reading →
