A little snow in Earlswood meant a lot of modelling time….. I built the simple box that will represent the concourse end of the platforms. Easy to uncouple a locomotive, too, if it’s not under an overall roof. The boards … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 20 January 2021
A very good turnout tonight. We were missing Brian though…. Please accept my apologies. I’ve just woken up from a deep sleep – sadly not alcohol induced. Strikes me Brian may have had the better deal….. We started with the … Continue reading

First meeting of 2021, as we go into tier 5 or more, and lockdown once again. One day, we’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when. Oh dear, I feel a song coming on! No Mr Dawes this evening…. … Continue reading
A Minories of my own – 5 – a few tweaks?
