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 →

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 →

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 →
