ESNG meeting – 19 June 2024

Rother Valley Railway show #2

After a slight diversion to the ESNG meeting, back to Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge.  Today we have the other layouts on show.  There was no show guide, so I have been unable to identify a couple … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 9 June 2024

Back again on Sunday afternoon, and again 10 members turned out.  Surely it can’t last?  I’m considering a Class 59 themed evening, as so many members seem to have got one or more.  But there was some variety on the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 26 May 2024

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

Maxine and I have just had a pleasant week on the south coast at Poole, so I missed two meetings.  But here are a couple of photos from Allan, and Brian’s video….. Brian also spotted the magnificent ‘Clan Line’ passing … Continue reading
