ESNG meeting – 8 October 2023
We were away for the weekend, so I missed Sunday’s meeting. I gather that there were 6.5 members present, plus a couple of visitors from West Sussex to talk about Stuttgart. But Brian faithfully recorded some of the action. I … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 4 October 2023
Perhaps it was a little optimistic having a club meeting four days after the show? One regular was away, and two more phoned in sick (not from exhibition-itis), so only three turned up for the meeting. We chatted for a … Continue reading
ESNG exhibition 2023
Another year, another show over. All went well on the whole. We were a little down on the usual numbers, perhaps partly due to the train strike on the day. However, we did get a good number of local families … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 24 September 2023
Yet another club meeting…. Although we ended up with six members there, we had little energy to set up a layout and run trains. Especially with the show coming up on Saturday. So we drank tea and put the world … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 21 September 2023
An afternoon working party attracted six members, and mainly consisted of completing the droppers on the fiddle yard and the newest corners. The afternoon included plenty of conferences between Derek’s (you remember the Chuckle Brothers, don’t you?) After the fish … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 17 September 2023
A very busy afternoon, and a delighted Treasurer with 12 members and one small friend attending. And this meant that there was no shortage of trains on show. Little, little and large. Sean’s O8 and Allan’s Toby…. And Simon’s Challenger… … Continue reading
Seaboard Southern NMRA show, 16 September 2023
I usually try and get to this show – it’s local, there are often some good layouts, and excellent trade (if you want to buy more American trains.) But on Saturday, I had offered to do a hospital run to … Continue reading
