ESNG meeting – 22 August 2021
Sunday afternoon, and a very pleasant time playing trains. Seven members in attendance, including Allan, despite having to be up and about again for night shift tonight. Paul’s usual summary is about right! Another ESNG meeting, a selection of trains … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 18 August 2021
There must be something about Wednesday’s! Rule of 6 yesterday, with the usual suspects in attendance….. The Treasurer is trying to extract Graham’s pocket money! We didn’t run that many trains, really. We miss Paul filling the circuit up with … Continue reading
Another project under way?
No. 1 (and only) son Michael dropped in on Thursday to do a little track planning. He’s got a couple of Peco Settrack boxes to run his trains on at home, and has now relieved Derek of one of his … Continue reading

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 – 25 July 2021
Back to the hall on Sunday for our afternoon meeting. Great to have nine members attending – enough to be busy and sociable, but not too crowded in the hall. Door and windows were open for ventilation, though we had … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 21 July 2021
First ‘open’ ESNG meeting, though the number of COVID cases locally has meant that we kept the hall well ventilated, and masks were welcomed, if optional. So of course we got exactly six members attending. And had a very pleasant … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 11 July 2021
This should be the last locked down meeting. Who knows what lies ahead, but I hope that we can have some relatively normal club nights for a while. We’ll keep windows and doors open, keep a little distance, and anyone … Continue reading
non-ESNG meeting – 7 July 2021
No club meeting on Wednesday, due to half of the six due to attend having football-related excuses. I declined to stand in for the missing members for obvious reasons. I commented after the event: Worth missing ESNG for! However, Derek, … Continue reading
