TINGS 2015 – 2
Having given a dishonourable mention to the ESNG representation, I’d better make a mention of the other layouts. The show guide gave a list 0f 29 layouts. When in the hall it maybe seemed like less, but (apart from the … Continue reading

ESNG meeting – 3 September 2015
After a quiet summer, last night’s meeting was a lively one – even without the Chairman, who was suffering an overdose of early milk rounds. It was good to see Simon back again, with the same Kato Santa Fe passenger … Continue reading

July’s PlayDay was a successful afternoon. We had 10 punters in attendance, including a pleasant surprise in Sean. Sean had been able to leave work early from driving trains on Southern due to a convenient replacement bus service. (What, don’t they … Continue reading
Off my trolley – North Shore in ‘N’ gauge
I recently came across David Milburn’s layout on the web. His layout is unusual in that it: Is traction, a model of the North Shore (CNS&M) interurban out of Chicago. Is in ‘N’ gauge. Is British. It’s also very, very, … Continue reading
