Lincoln & District MRC (Diesel & Electric Exhibition) 17th/18th October 2020 Now Cancelled.

Insulated joints on points only as electrofrog but not on the double and single slips as they are insulting.

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before. I've recently purchased the Dapol Biffa and Large Logo 66s but they keep short circuiting on single and double slips which are Peco ones. No issues with the Farish 66s....any ideas please? Thanks Chris.

The Lincoln & District MRC will again be using the Lady Eastwood Pavilion, Newark Showground NG24 2NY for our General Exhibition in 2020. The Showground has plenty of free parking, is disabled friendly and has a cafe on site for drinks & food. The dates are Saturday 29th February & Sunday 1st March. £8 Adult £4 Child £20 Family Ticket (2 Adults & up to 4 Children). The venue is easily accessible from the A1, A17, A46 and A617. As usual there will be a free vintage bus running between the Newark Showground and both Newark Northgate and Castle railway stations whihc have good train connections with L.N.E.R. and E.M.R. See the website for the bus timetable. www.ladmrc.co.uk There will be a good variety of layouts of most scales and gauges, traders, demonstrators and societies. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2020! Layouts/Traders/Demonstrators/Societies will be added soon. Again more details can be found on the clubs website.

I would personally like to thank all the traders, exhibitors, demonstrators and the societies for attending the show over the weekend....Obviously this goes for the members of the public who came along to see everything. I would also like to thank all club members and Sleaford MRC who helped out over the weekend and for our lovely ladies helping out in the mess room. There are some great videos from youtubers New Junction & Radford Junction which has personally given me chance to view some of the layouts as I did not really get the chance over the weekend. Keep an eye out on here and our website www.ladmrc.co.uk for more details regarding our general exhibition in February 2020 and the next Post Modernisation exhibition in October 2020. Thanks Chris - Post Modernisation Exhibition Manager.

How do I delete a post? The issue is now sorted. Thanks Chris.

WOW!! Just over a week to go now!! I really do not know where the time goes considering we started planning this around a year and a half ago. Please spread the word around as this is a new exhibition and if you want to see it return in 2020 it needs to be a success!! Say HI if you see me running around like a headless chicken over the weekend. (19th/20th October 2019).

As per phone call...list on other posting is for Feb 2020 all is well for Oct 2019. :-)

HI All, PLEASE NOTE: This is for the February 2020 show not this years October show. I have already had layout owners messaging me that they are no longer on the list above as this is for Feb 2020 and can confirm there are no issues with the October 2019 exhibition!!! Alan has taken over the February event as Sean has stepped down. (Our General Exhibition). I am still looking after our Post Modernisation events. Any issues please do not hesitate to contact myself or Alan. Thanks Chris.

Hi, The Lincoln and District Model Railway Club is looking for a replacement demonstrator at our October exhibition. At the Newark Showground on the 19th & 20th October 2019. To demonstrate the various techniques to weather locomotives, coaches and other items of rolling stock. We cant accommodate so needs to be reasonable close to Newark. If you can help please contact me at ladmrc@outlook.com Chris.
