It was full steam ahead for model train enthusiasts who gathered for the annual Temple Hill model railway fair.

More than 20 model train sets which included tracks and rare model trains were on show at the exhibition which took place at Temple Hill Community Primary School, in St Edmunds Road.

The show, which has attracted thousands of model train enthusiasts during its 21-year history, was visited by more than 2,000 people.

As well as the exhibition itself, there was a range of transport books, model trains and accessories on sale.

Exhibition manager Paul Plummer said: "The money raised will go towards future exhibitions to make them bigger and better than ever."
