THE famous Gainsborough model railway, a large 'O' gauge railway representing the East Coast Mainline from King's Cross to Leeds in the late 1950s, will be open over the August Bank Holiday.
The railway is run to a timetable with bells and signals representing the operation of the real railway.
There will be the usual selection of hand-built locos including models of Flying Scotsman, Mallard and City of Lincoln pulling such famous trains as the Yorkshire Pullman and the West RIding Ltd, plus numerous other locos and rolling stock including two new diesel locos of Class 37 and 47.
There is an information sheet explaining how the railway is operated.
Opening times are 1.30pm to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday and 10.30am to 6pm on Monday, and admission is adults £3.50, children/senior citizens £2.50, family (2+2) £10.
The venue is at the society's clubrooms on Florence Terrace near the Tesco car park.

This would be a great opportunity to see some o gauge trains over the bank holiday weekend. What's the best train to catch to get to Gainsborough?
