MODEL railway enthusiasts flocked to the Maidstone Model Railway Exhibition at the weekend.

More than 1,200 people saw 25 different layouts at the show at Senacre Technology College in Sutton Road, Maidstone, on Saturday and Sunday.

Tiny replicas of British and American railways from as early as the 1930s were featured at the exhibition, which attracted people from all over the country.

Dave Tibbatts, of the Kent and East Sussex Railway, said: "The general feeling was it was one of the best we've had in a very long time."
