Posted on June 8, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

A couple of weeks old, but here is a bit of a photodump of Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge.  Our friends from the West Sussex Group contributed several exhibits, so today is rather monopolised by their layouts! … Continue reading →

Posted on June 6, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

It must be the arrival of summer – or the lack of it – as we had a whole 10 members along tonight.  Actually, it was pleasant enough in the evening sun, and windows were opened. Simon had added ‘passengers’ … Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Well, not that wild.  Just a visit to the Gauge O Guild Summer Show.  It was not far away at Kempton Park Racecourse, and although mainly a trade show, there were some layouts to look at as well.  Having bought … Continue reading →

New Forest MRS Exhibition 2024 #2

Posted on June 2, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Los Tanimals (geddit?) in N was conceived as a smaller layout than the ‘Solent Summit’ modular setup.  Even so, it’s pretty large.  I think Allan kept photographing the loops to persuade me to build another one for ESNG…. Mainly Southern … Continue reading →

New Forest MRS Exhibition 2024 #1

Posted on May 31, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

I turned down a day out with the lads to the Brockenhurst show.  My excuses were poor – I’d just been on holiday near there, possible Bank Holiday traffic, and I wanted to watch the Cup Final.  I gather it … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 26 May 2024

Posted on May 26, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Much as I enjoyed my holiday, it was good to be back running trains again this Sunday.  We had a generous 11 members attending, too, that meant that I could doze in a chair and natter rather than doing anything … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 1 May 2024

Posted on May 2, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

No trains tonight.  Five of us turned up, but no-one was very interested in running trains.  So we spent a pleasant couple of hours putting the world to rights, and went home. Here are the usual suspects.  (Graham is making … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 28 April 2024

Posted on April 30, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

I was a little concerned that we would be short of members today, with two regulars unavailable.  However, six of us turned out for a relaxed running session.  The only crisis was the lack of the teaboy Cha(i)rman, skiving off … Continue reading →
