Well, having read and reread the government guidance, I’ve reluctantly concluded that we can only entertain 6 members at a meeting at present.  If we have more than 6, we have to have 2 groups and they are not allowed … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – yes, no yes?

Posted on September 10, 2020 by snitchthebudgie

Plans were underway for the reopening of ESNG later this month.  We’d welcome a limited number of people to play trains, but make things as Covid-safe as possible. Then came yesterday’s government announcement limiting social gatherings again.  So, perhaps it’s … Continue reading →

Another good Zoom tonight.  Just the five of us, with apologies from a few members (especially the Chairman, who had been cornered for an early milkround.)  Good to see Martin this time around, too.  And Phil managed to master both … Continue reading →

A little progress with the wagons.  I’ve 10 Peco Lowfits well on the way to completion.  The bodies have had their bolster bases scraped off with a knife blade and fine sandpaper.  They’ve been primed and a first coat of … Continue reading →

Covid-19 diary #26

Posted on August 24, 2020 by snitchthebudgie

Back to the loft! A few days ago, I posted this picture of some Messerschmitt bubble cars on flat wagons parked near Brighton.  I suggested that if one could find a suitable bubble car (not easy), these would make an … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 19 August 2020

Posted on August 20, 2020 by snitchthebudgie

And yet another successful Zoom meeting tonight.  Once again, the usual suspects found nothing to talk about for 90 minutes or so, including a fascinating conversation about cat litters. Highlight of the evening was John having part of Alpenbahn up … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2020 by snitchthebudgie

Has it really been a month since I did a Covid diary entry?  I’m really not sure where the time has gone.  I think that I’ve spent too much time reading and doing odd jobs here and there.  The hot … Continue reading →

Much more than me, who has a loss of mojo at the moment.  Even with the cooler weather, I haven’t made it back to the railway room. So here are three contributions from Brian, hi-jacked from Facebook and his YouTube … Continue reading →
