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 – #3
Last visit to Ally Pally – I guess that next week I shall be blogging about N Gauge Southeast. It’s been a busy few days working through the final details! Another favourite from the show was Eccleston (P4). In some … Continue reading

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2019 – #2

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 PlayDay – 13 January 2019
Eight of us made it to Sunday’s PlayDay. After the usual curry lunch, we resisted the temptation of an afternoon nap, and put the layout together. It was a bit smaller than recent meetings, as Paul couldn’t bring his Kato … Continue reading
