LNERandBR Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Looking good Alan, really hoping the change of venue works out and the show continues to grow from strength to strength. You've done a cracking job over the last few years. I'm looking forward to being there with Deeping Lane, been working out a new way of operating it recently and can't wait to try it in a proper show setting.

gr.king Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Leeds Central will appear once again on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th February, at the "Lincoln" model railway exhibition actually to be held this year at the NEWARK showground, just off the A1 at its junction with the A46 and A17.N.B. whilst it was previously suggested, incorrectly as it turns out, that Spalding, November 2015 might be this layout's last public appearance, the owner now tells me that the showing at Lincoln / Newark REALLY IS planned to be its last bow....

nigel gill Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 How much is the bus fare to/from the show?

nigel gill Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 First Bus departures are..... Newark North Gate 09:20 Newark Castle 09:35 Then same times past the hour upto 14:20/14.35 Return service leaves the showground at 10 past the hour, last service at 17:10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel gill Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 For those visitors travelling by car some route advise to avoid congestion on the SUNDAY on the A46 between Newark -A1-A17 junctions From the North and South heading along the A1, Come off at the Coddington turn off NOT the A46 turn off, head through Coddington to the A17 roundabout then follow the signs for the showground. From the west A46 maybe wise to travel through Newark itself and head towards Coddington/Beckingham joining the A17 as above Nige.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Never mind that, can you just have the ridiculously designed Lincoln "should be a by-pass but really a car park" cleared on the Friday afternoon please so that those of us unfortunate enough to live in East Lincolnshire, who now find that Lincoln show has moved 20 miles further away onto the "awkward side" of Lincoln (and out of the home county in the process), can actually get there for set up on Friday rather than die of old age on the outskirts of Lincoln...

Graham, If you live at the north east side of Lincoln why not use the A16 to Louth, the A153 to Sleaford and finally the A17 to Newark. Its a much more scenic and temper taming route.

gr.king Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 If only time and fuel budgets would allow, I could probably go round via Boston, Peterborough and Nottingham as well. Stuck with having to earn a living until mid afternoon on the Friday, and assuming that Lincoln club don't want to cover extravagant fuel claims, the quickest and shortest possible route is required. It's difficult to believe that the designers of the relatively recent Lincoln by-pass thought that it would be a good idea to narrow it down from dual carriageway to single carriageway in several places and leave it to intersect on the level with all of the major radial roads around the city! Then, given any relief road, what do all typical councils do, including the one relevant to this problem? Why, of course, they pass plans for loads of new developments requiring access off the relief road, guaranteeing that it fills up with traffic and becomes almost useless for its intended purpose. I have a choice of routes in mind, but if I told you about those I have to.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Highways Agency are responsible for the A46 round Lincoln and they decided it didn't all need dualling. In which decision they are clearly wrong as we see at least twice every weekday. But it wasn't the County Council's decision, so I'm told. Dava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just for clarity, though sadly of no relevance to the show (which ought to be the topic of discussion), you'll notice that I did not say that either the County or the City Council determined the design of the road, but most councils do seem to be masters in the business of ruining by-passes by allowing numerous adjoining cheap-build developments, accessible only by car, while leaving high streets to become derelict.

Graham, Can you please get back on to the exhibition, as you say it should be the main topic of discussion and its only 4 days away. No matter how much you moan and groan about by-passes etc they will still be built the same way and become a circular car park, but at least it does mean you can get through the middle of town without much difficulty now.

PenrithBeacon Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Will there be barriers? Just trying to decide whether to bring the tripod or not. If there are barriers then it fits nicely in between the layouts and barriers so it doesn't get in the way of the other folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERandBR Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Not long got back from setting Deeping Lane up and it's all ready for the punters tomorrow morning Also had time for a quick nose round whilst others were setting up and it's already looking like a good show. Really looking forward to the next few days Also I can confirm that there are barriers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayvid Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Evening everyone Unfortunately during the journey down to Newark we were involved in an RTA with a large lorry .Both Dianne and I are ok but the layout received what on first sight appears to be only cosmetic damage but will require a full test session to ascertain if this is the case. The car however may prove to be a write off ! We had only just changed it 8 weeks ago and all can say is thank god Skoda Yetis are built like tanks. We are really sorry not to make it to the show and hope everybody has an enjoyable and safe weekend Gary and Dianne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
