ESNG meeting – 8 August 2021

Sunday, and back to the hall for another running session.  The Rule of 6 seems to have returned.  Just the six members turned out, but we had a very pleasant afternoon running trains.  We were missing a few regulars, especially … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 4 August 2021

Seven members tonight.  Not too bad for a Wednesday.  It was easy enough to get a circuit up and running, more difficult to keep the trains on our appalling track!  Here we have the usual suspects in action….. Chris had … Continue reading

Extra Sunday meeting on the 27th, but I wasn’t there for long due to a lot of enthusiastic members and the Rule of 6.  But I’m sure they had fun!  Comments from Paul…. A pleasant afternoon playing trains in Earlswood. … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 17 June 2021
