Dorking MRC Exhibition 2019
I was going to visit the Folkstone or Fareham shows today, but a heavy cold meant a slow start to the day. So I watched the rugby World Cup, then slipped over to Oddfellows’ Hall, Dorking (what an appropriate location … 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
Mid Essex MRC exhibition 2019 – 2
Shelvington (P4) is set in the Hampshire/Surrey borders. This section of line has seen better days… But around the corner there is a fine selection of SR DEMU’s, and a relatively modern BR terminus. Fen End Pit (16mm narrow gauge) … Continue reading
Mid Essex MRC exhibition 2019 – 1

ESNG PlayDay – 8 September 2019
It’s been a busy railway week – Hollycombe, then club night, and now a PlayDay. As ever, we started with a curry. As I took the underpass next to Earlswood station, this large Colas track machine was sitting in the … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 05 September 2019
I expected a quiet evening on Thursday, after we had such a busy weekend at Hollycombe. But 5 out of the 7 exhibitors turned up keen to run trains. (And no. 6, the Cha(I)rman, was working earlies again.) So we … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 21 August 2019
A busy club night – 13 attending, including Sean’s two lads. We were missing Mr Atfield, who had the lurgi, and Graham after an eye procedure. Lucas was providing all the sound effects, and was much better (and cheaper to … Continue reading
Off my trolley – an excellent little layout
Recently, I came across this rather fine little trolley layout. Unfortunately, there are no sizes or track plan given. The plan is pretty obvious, though I’m not sure what happens around the back of the layout. As for size, it’s … Continue reading
