ESNG PlayDay – 13 March 2016
A fairly quiet PlayDay last Sunday afternoon. Only five members present, until Allan and Ron arrived mid-afternoon, back from the Swiss Railway Society AGM in Derby. However, we got a good circuit up and working, and had a pleasant afternoon … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – 3 March 2016
We had a very good turnout tonight, a dozen or so paying members. Good to see Paul back from Japan – with a suitcase of new Japanese goodies, including more bullet trains and Kato Uni-track. Also Sean and Martin – … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 17 February 2016
No report for yesterday’s meeting, I’m afraid. I have the poor excuse that I am sitting in Singapore for a week, having been asked to visit and do a presentation at rather short notice. OK, it’s a hardship posting, but … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 20 January 2016
Eight hardy members braved the sub-zero temperatures for Wednesday’s club night. Fortunately the hall heating was working well, and I think it was warmer than my lounge at home. Mainly the usual suspects, but it was good to see Roger, who seemed … Continue reading
ESNG meeting – PlayDay 10 January 2016
Another successful afternoon playing trains, with a reasonable turnout of 8 members. The usual suspects were, of course, in evidence…. I brought along my 1960’s container train to run. I still need to add all the chains and shackles to … Continue reading

A new year – and a good meeting to start it. 9 members came out to run trains. Derek brought along some modern RailTrack permanent way trains. The specialised wagons used for ballast and the like are always interesting in any … Continue reading
Off my trolley – North Hollywood revisited
A frequently-used phrase in railway modelling is ‘selective compression.’ Most usually it applies to station track layouts, shortening them and losing a few sidings to fit a reasonable representation of a piece of railway in our usually too small rooms. … Continue reading
