We spent last Saturday at the nearby 17th Reigate Scouts Lego and model show. We took a small N-mod circuit, and Paul took one of his Kato layouts, now pre-mounted on baseboards to speed setup. We arrived early at 8am, … Continue reading

Beckenham & West Wickham MRC show 2019
Last weekend was another railway-rich weekend. Have been out to breakfast with Maxine (at her Street Pastor’s meet) and completed the church ‘spring’ clean, I slipped over to Beckenham for the BWWMRC show. I haven’t made this show at its … Continue reading

Croydon MRS show 2019
Having visited the Farnham show, next stop was Warlingham School for the Croydon MRS show. It was an easy run, overshooting Redhill by a couple of junctions on the M25, then a quick drive up the A22. Strangely, Warlingham School … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 03 October 2019
Good to see 11 members running trains last night, including the Cha(I)rman, who had escaped from the dairy. Good job too, as I had forgotten to bring some milk with me, and the members would have got twitchy without their … Continue reading
Mid Essex MRC exhibition 2019 – 3
There seem to be a lot of pictures of this show. Although it wasn’t the largest, I think there was more to see as there were a lot of small layouts. I’d seen Abbey Street (S) before, but it was … Continue reading
