PLANS have been submitted for eye-catching new signs to be installed at the National Railway Museum.

A large fascia sign made from aluminium would be placed on the main entrance off Cinder Lane.

And a hanging sign would be installed on the entrance on Leeman Road.

Both signs would be illuminated.

A festival aimed at inspiring the engineers of the future will take place at the museum during the October half term, from October 27 to November 4.

The event will feature a programme of activities aimed at helping youngsters and their families learn more about engineering.

The venue is running a series of events as part of the government's national Year of Engineering campaign.
