enginelane Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Remember this year there is no change to the exhibition dates 28/29/30th Nov 2014 but please read the new joint Warley and Wakefield Thread for changes to dates in 2015 and onwards. As the new exhibition manager from 2015 I would like everyone to come on the right weekend and see a great show! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just a quick note to say that if you have one of our exhibition flyers and are travelling by train and bus, the Wakefield Westgate station entrance has now moved due to there being a new updated version of the station. When you come out of the shiny new station exit, turn right on the road outside, go down the road a couple of 100 yards (or metres if you prefer) to the junction with Westgate, turn right again and you will see the old station entrance/exit on your right. Ignore it, cross the road by the overbridge and there is the bus stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore it, cross the road by the overbridge and there is the bus stop. For those who like a picture- If you prefer to walk to the venue, carry on past the bus stop and under the railway overbridge. Follow the main road or fork left on the quieter Lawefield Lane as shown. About fifteen minutes. Edit: tweaked map. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2014 Roundhose has a show in a few days time so fingers crossed everything is OK. A good test before the Wakefield show!! A few new road vehicles and workers to add beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Roundhose has a show in a few days time so fingers crossed everything is OK. A good test before the Wakefield show!! A few new road vehicles and workers to add beforehand. Roundhouse is 1 of 6 American themed layouts in this year's exhibition. If you model American then it should be a layout fest for you. If you don't then do worry there are 15 none American layouts for you to view! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
