ESNG meeting – 3 July 2024 – The dreaded AGM!!

Posted on July 6, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Once again, the ESNG AGM has arrived – and gone again.  Amazingly, this is the 27th AGM of the club.  We’re getting quite aged – but nothing like as old as the club members. For the neutral observer, our AGM’s … Continue reading →

Posted on June 24, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Sunday afternoon, and a good turnout of nine members to run trains and talk. Long trains…. The inevitable 59’s…. Multiple units…. Derek’s Swiss railcar and train…. European goods…. Some interesting American stock from Dave… Sean’s small but noisy ‘Gronk’. Next … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 19 June 2024

Posted on June 19, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

A very pleasant afternoon and evening today.  Six of us turned up for the working party, and we got some useful work underway.  Electrical contact was poor in a number of places in the fiddle yard, due to someone (probably … Continue reading →

Rother Valley Railway show #2

Posted on June 12, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

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

Posted on June 10, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

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 →

Rother Valley Railway show #1

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 →

A walk on the wild side?

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 →
