Two weeks ago long-time members Doreen and George Coles hosted a family gathering at NSME. Members of their tribe, from Cambridgeshire, Wiltshire and Worcstershire to celebrate four birthdays occuring over a three week period. The sun shone, the locos ran faultlessly, and a good time was had by all. |

More sad news has reached us of Pete Broughs passing. He was a member of NSME from after his retirement in 2008 until his stroke in early 2019. He greatly enjoyed his time with everyone here at the club, and made many friends. Below are a couple of pictures of Pete. One of Pete wearing his Guard's Hat and one when Chris kindly let Pete drive his loco with daughter and grandson as passengers. |

Last night was the anual bits and pieces night, where we have a chance to show off out winters efforts. A little thin on the ground, but a great selection of engineering skill on show! Well done to Gordon who's freelance battery loco built from an electric bike, was voted as best in show. Below is a link to a photo album with more photos of everything on show. A particular note to Richards GWR King tender, 1,536 rivets.... Photo Album HERE |

About 3 years ago, Tony did a presentation at NSME on the railways of Lincolnshire, focussing on the centre of his world, Spalding. Those attending may remember Tony featuring the Cross Keys Bridge at Sutton Bridge. This was once a dual road/rail (M&GN) bridge but became a road swing bridge when the railway closed in 1959. The bridge is still open and continues to be a swing bridge and glorious bottle-neck on the A17. Sit back, go full-screen, turn up the audio and see how it works - or not! HERE |

Howard has been tittivating Geoff's Polly V. Thus, a successful test on Wednesday and ready to burn. Having been flushed with success, we turned our attention to even more important needs. We had heard rumours that Santa has been present in the ticket office with presents. Thus we tiptoed up and knocked at the door. And knocked even harder. Great sadness - there was no answer. Just a cruel rumour after all! Or perhaps he was out? |

Swinging duo measure camber angle (some people have a different name for it, but it confuses cockneys) with new swingometer on Wednesday. Results have shown up some minor undesirables which we will fix soon. Just to put things in perspective, Richard's boys worked hard and renewed two support beams on Tuesday and one the week before - well done to them. |

After a gap of 4 years, the NSME stand at MMEE2024. We built the stand in the morning and members brought their models for display in the afternoon. The erection team posing. All smiling at once! Regret Alan was shy and not available for photographs - he transported the stand hardware in his van. A sign of the times, or at least our times - we now have seats by popular request. Always good to see the exhibition build on the day. Something which takes most of a day to build, gets demolished in half an hour on Sunday at 4pm |
