Progress continues in the loft.  From the original design…. I have built the British Finescale point and crossover.  I made a few minor changes to the point instructions that improved ease of construction.  I also mastered Code 40 fishplates, horribly … Continue reading →

Tricky decision this morning!  Drive up to Abingdon for what looks like a large and excellent show there, or Breakfast at Tiffany’s with Allan and Derek and a visit to the West Sussex open day?  Then I found out that … Continue reading →

Just a few photos today – I must have spent too much time talking!  Eight members came along and occupied the four running tracks. Chris’ lovely ‘Jaffa Cake’ EMU had some difficulty staying on the track.  It’s strange – some … Continue reading →

I was a few minutes late getting to open the hall, but it was open and people were getting the modules out to set up.  My excuse was simple – I sneaked up to Holmethorpe Industrial Estate to see a … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 28 January 2024

Posted on January 30, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

The Magnificent Seven gathered on Sunday afternoon, and had one of those running sessions where nothing would stay on the track or stay coupled.  Never mind, we ran a few trains, drank tea, and put the world to rights. My … Continue reading →

  A bitterly cold evening, but we saw eight members come in from the cold into the relatively warm clubroom.  Despite the good turnout, most members seemed happy to drink tea and chat.  However, Terry led the way and actually ran … Continue reading →

A healthy 10 members and a visitor today made for a busy Sunday afternoon.  We also managed to sell quite a lot of a old N gauge collection donated to the club.  Usual suspects…. Chris ran some interesting trains.  A … Continue reading →
