Fiat500 Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Final countdown to the NMRS's 4th exhibition, and 2nd show at the Grenoside Community Centre, taking place this coming weekend. For those driving to the show, there is a car park with approx. 60 spaces - if this is full, on-street parking is available on Main Street by St Mark's Church or further down towards the crossroads with Saltbox Lane. If you are making your way to the show by public transport, on Saturday the Stagecoach bus 86 runs approx. half-hourly from Sheffield City Centre (Angel Street) and Chapeltown (connecting with Northern services to/from Sheffield & Barnsley), and passes the venue on Grenoside Main Street. On Sunday however, the 86 runs hourly along the main A61 road, and as such you will need to alight at the first stop after the cross-roads with Saltbox Lane/Wheel Lane (if travelling from Sheffield City Centre), or the first stop after the Red Lion pub. After alighting from the bus, continue for another 50 yards then turn left onto Blacksmith Lane, with access into Grenoside Park directly across the road - the venue is a 10 minute walk away through the park. Hopefully see you there! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted May 20, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2023 I enjoyed my trip to the show today. A couple of the layouts were being exhibited by friends so I thought that I would visit to show my support. Not a big show but some nice quality layouts. It does seem to me that if you want small diesel or electric layouts then you get TMD/shed/depots and not much else. The TT (3mm not the new version) home made locos on Bluish stood out from the crowd as being quite unusual. Halifax King Cross and Bawdsey are always worth a view and both show how a relatively small layout can be interesting to watch from an operational point of view if the running is well thought out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiat500 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 On behalf of the Neepsend Model Railway Society, thank you to all those who visited the show this weekend - we hope you all enjoyed the exhibition. Also a big thank you to all the exhibitors and traders that made the show such a high quality offering - the feedback we received regarding the standard was overwhelmingly positive. Congratulations also to Chris & Adam Towers for winning the 'Best in Show' award with 'Queens Road Depot' (see pictures attached). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
