ESNG meeting – 19 April 2023
Not a bad turnout for the Wednesday after the Open Day – six members attended. We spent a little time sorting out the show cash balance, and paying members for sales from the club shop. Finances, to my amazement, look … Continue reading
ESNG Open Day 2023 (again)
Three short videos from Allan, showing that trains did move (occasionally.) I probably should have edited the sound off – I’m sure it wasn’t that noisy!!!! None of us could fill an ERIC style model of this facility – amazing! … Continue reading
