ESNG meeting – 2 May 2019
Busy couple of days, and didn’t get around to blogging – I did something useful instead! Thursday’s ESNG meeting didn’t really happen. Our hall had become a polling station, so we moved into the church itself (of similar size) to … Continue reading
Epsom Show – 2019 #2
Herstmonceux in ‘OO’ models the LBSCR in Sussex. A rural location, but as with anywhere south of London, the opportunity to run plenty of trains up to the ‘smoke’. Fintonagh (O-16.5) models an imaginary terminus on the 3′ gauge Clogher … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 17 April 2019
Maybe due to enthusiasm following the NGSE show, or perhaps the spring-like weather, about 14 turned up for Wednesday’s meeting. Plenty of people and plenty of trains…. It was ‘Birdcage’ night, as both Neil and I tested our new … Continue reading

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2019 – #2
And on with the layouts! Ballyconnell Road is unusual – 3mm/ft scale is unusual in itself, but this layout is 15.75mm gauge, representing the Irish 5′ 3″ lines. I also really like the circular layout plan. And another road – … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 20 March 2019
With Ron back in England, it’s back to the relative normality of an ESNG meeting. We seemed to do more talking than running, but Simon had his (expensive) brass loco under test: Good to see Peter’s module in a layout: … Continue reading
ESNG PlayDay – 10 March 2019
A busy Sunday afternoon with 13 members and friends at the PlayDay. The curry house was rather busy for once, so Miles had some competition for his fourth helpings. And a pleasant surprise was Duncan and Davida joining us. Duncan … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 7 March 2019
A busy evening, with 11 members in attendance. Paul was testing some old Farish Class 50’s – perhaps to sell them before the new Dapol one appears? A couple of Mr Atfield’s bargains seemed to be running well…. ‘Tother Paul … Continue reading
