ESNG meeting – 16 March 2016
We thought that we were not going to run trains on Wednesday. At the PlayDay, the points had stopped working on the fiddle yard, and we feared that the CDU had failed. So Derek, Derek and Ian had the board … Continue reading
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

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

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
