I just hope that it won’t be too long before we can put this in the back of a car on the way to an exhibition.Ī modelling success this week. I found these graphs that sum up a year’s isolation rather well. I’m going to take my annual break from blogging next month, though the odd post will appear, especially reporting the club meetings. I’m waiting for Derek to model the man with the red flag in front of the Rocket.Īnd Allan was testing his ICE4 unit. I think they ought to be done up as Iron-Bru PO wagons – and the colour does rather clash with the loco….Īnd here we have the Redhill Trials. These orange scrap wagons started life as bits off printer cartridges. A year away has no doubt created a backlog of new trains to run:

Paul, as usual, contributed some interesting Japanese trains. Lineas is a large European freight operation in Benelux countries including The Netherlands.Īnd it time for another ESNG meeting – two in a row, without a lockdown!Ĭertainly good to see old friends again. I tried to obtain a Class E186 in Dutch livery, but they have sold out around the world, so I had one last option – a Lineas branded E186 from Scograil – an excellent model rail shop based in Ipswich, England. Most of what you see is from my imagination rather than an accurate film of the location, but I’ve tried to replicate some of the area in my designs. In 2012, Arriva, took over the rail services. In real life, Doetinchem is served by rail services from Arnhem to Winterswijk with two stations, one in the city centre – Doetinchem and Doetinchem De Huet lying to the west between the suburbs of De Huet and Dichteren. No doubt one of this afternoon will follow soon….ĭoetinchem – Bijna Maar Niet is a model railway layout in N Gauge. Ron has sent some snaps of a cream tea to me, and I shall have to post them over the next few days.Īnd to finish, another modelling video from Brian.

Sunday’s only for me until September owing to my early starts at work through the summer.Īnd we’re back on Wednesday for another meeting. Very enjoyable, nice to have regular club meetings again. Paul had his usual sage summing up on Facebook….Īn afternoon playing trains. Paul had his usual Japanese contribution….Īnd also filming my IOW Terrier, as Graham’s USA express passed in the background…. Dare I say, that it’s easier with less people….Ĭhris and I both ran a ‘real’ UK goods train…. It didn’t take long to set up the layout. Five of us had a rather more sedate afternoon running trains, and very pleasant it was too. A boiling hot Sunday afternoon, and England playing their first game in the Euros.
