The Society was originally formed in 1933 making it one of the oldest in the UK. It is understood that its first venue was at Hartsholme Park Lincoln, pre World War II. If any “fixed assets existed” they went for recycling during the conflict. In late 1945 the Society was re-established and a piece of land was leased from the City Council. A new railway was built in Boultham Park between the footpath and the cemetery wall which catered for one and a quarter, two and a half, three and a half and five inch gauges. A new track was started here in North Scarle in 1995 at ground level in five and seven and a quarter inch gauges. Over a period of time this was expanded around the outside of the field to give a track of some 2,000 feet in length. All sorts of people become members of the Society besides those who have an interest in railway and traction engines and we have many people, of all ages, who help assist us in running the society.
