RAILWAY enthusiasts and their families enjoyed a day of steaming fun at a train exhibition.

The sports hall at North West Kent College, Lower Higham Road, Gravesend, was packed with 1,000 rail fans eager to see their favourite locomotive.

The train lovers were treated to exhibitions and model trains displays at the show, organised by the Gravesend Model Railway Association.

With many different types of trains on display and 24 stalls selling models, videos, postcards and books there was plenty to keep visitors entertained.

Event organiser Ella Marcar said: "It was the best event we have had in 32 years."
