Bembridge, Isle of Wight

Posted on September 15, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

I keep returning to Bembridge, on the Isle of Wight, as a near perfect small branch line terminus.  A scale model fits within 4′ in ‘N’ gauge. And with the beach directly to the left, a sea backscene would be … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 6 September 2018

Posted on September 7, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

We’d just about recovered from Gaugemaster, and it was time to set up another layout for Thursday’s club night.  A small circuit duly appeared, and eight members enjoyed running time.  One or two of the weekend’s bargains were tested out….. … Continue reading →

Well worth the wait….

Posted on August 19, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

The postman delivered two parcels today – my Revolution Class B tankers.  I hadn’t realised that I’d ordered 14…. But I must have, as they arrived today and they all look wonderful. I’d started with the black liveries, so didn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on August 17, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

Good to see 12 persons at last night’s meeting – and the treasurer was delighted that some of them even paid up their annual subs! We got Raysden out of Derek’s garage for the evening.  We wanted to take it … Continue reading →

FOR SALE

Posted on August 11, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

ESNG still have some of their 21st birthday special commission wagon available.  It’s a Dapol Gunpowder Van, suitably lettered, and labelled ‘Return to Redhill’.  Just 100 were made for us, so I guess it’s a collector’s item – of sorts. … Continue reading →

ESNG meeting – 20 June 2018

A quiet evening with just the six punters, but everyone had brought some trains to run.  Derek was having a Longmoor Military Railway evening, I had some new Dapol coaches, and Paul, surprisingly, had a number of bullet trains. Dereks’ … Continue reading →

ESNG updates

Posted on June 10, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

A couple up updates on club and blog…. Unfortunately we won’t be exhibiting at the Bluebell Railway model weekend in a couple of weeks time.  They have overrunning building work and haven’t got room for us.  Hopefully, it’s next year….. … Continue reading →

A good turn out tonight, and plenty of trains running – and the usual suspects! Trains included some period German railcars…. Allan’s milk train…. Paul’s usual long Japanese goods… And Simon’s USA superpower….

ESNG meeting – 16 May 2018

Posted on May 20, 2018 by snitchthebudgie

After Sunday’s monster N-mod layout, and lots of members, Wednesday was rather more restrained.  But we still got trains running…. It was Terrier night, with my British Railways version (plus new Dapol Maunsell brake-composite.) Derek’s ‘Bodiam’…. And Derek’s ‘Earlswood’. Simon … Continue reading →
