First time riding my brompton and the chain has come off. I have put chains back on bikes but this one has a plastic block that I can't figure how to get the chain back in line with it.

Fold the rear wheel in to release some chain tension or pop the tensioner off and then try to ease the chain back on. If that doesn’t work the chain guide is held on by an Allen key just pop it off put the chain back on then bolt it back on, should take 5 minutes max.
I helped a dude outside Union Station today with the same issue. We loosed the guide and used fingers to get it back on to the chainring (with a gloved hand). Took minutes.
Ok so I found I could take that price off with 2mm hex. I need to keep one in my toolkit now, seemed impossible without remove and reinstalling that piece
