ESNG exhibition 2022 – the rest

Posted on April 14, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

And so to the other, non-modular layouts. We had an interesting variety on show. Nick Falconer brought along Bahnbetriebswerk Königshafen for its first show.  The layout represents a small German locomotive service depot (Bahnbetriebswerk or Bw for short) with facilities … Continue reading →

ESNG exhibition 2022 – Nmod

Posted on April 12, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

I didn’t take many photos of the show, as my phone spent the day connected to our e-commerce terminal.  But I did sneak a few shots just before opening time.  So today it’s the N-mod layout, next time the other … Continue reading →

We survived! – ESNG exhibition 2022

Posted on April 10, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Well, it’s all done and dusted.  A few tables to return to the church I borrowed them off, and I need to return my bits of railway to the loft room.  That might wait a couple of days whilst I … Continue reading →

Saturday – ESNG exhibition 2022

Posted on April 6, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Not many posts in recent days.  Maxine and I had the weekend away, and now its the final countdown to the ESNG show on Saturday.  The usual pre-show glitches do, of course, occur – we’ve had a layout drop out … Continue reading →

Good enough for the show….

Posted on March 30, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

A little more progress on the new modules.  I’ve completed the ground cover and trees and bushes. I’m pleased with the final scenic addition.  I wanted to model a pair of, albeit short, carriage sidings, and model the cleaning platforms.  … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 27 March 2022

Posted on March 28, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

A brief report of today’s meeting, as I wasn’t there due to a non-covid cold.  With the treasurer also missing from covid, there were just the four members present.  But it looks like they had a good time, as recorded … Continue reading →

And some ground cover….

Posted on March 24, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Suddenly there’s less than three weeks to the show, and I was intending to get these modules finished, or at least nearly finished.  So I’ve been at work with the ModRoc and brown paint and multicolour flock. The factory buildings … Continue reading →

I could have gone to Ally Pally….

Posted on March 22, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

But I didn’t.  I often visit this excellent show with an old work colleague, but he decided not to go this year.  I didn’t want to fight the Saturday crowds, and Sunday not only were there loads of railway engineering … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 16 March 2022

Posted on March 18, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Another non-meeting on Wednesday.  A couple of people had to drop out, so I decided to cancel the meeting.  And then forgot to tell one of the people who was still coming.  Another fine mess by the club secretary…… However, … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 13 March 2022

Posted on March 14, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

Six hardy members turned up for Sunday afternoon’s running session.  This was an interesting meeting, as (1) there were no dashboards – the circuit was entirely made up of real modules, and (2) we’d almost brought enough trains to compensate … Continue reading →
