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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →
