Train fans have model railway fun


TRAIN enthusiasts were on track for a fun time at a model railway exhibition.

Around 200 people went along to the event organised by the Gravesend Railway Enthusiasts Society at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Windmill Street, Gravesend.

The event, which also featured stalls selling model railway and train parts, raised more than £150 for the society, which was founded in 1970 and has around 50 members.

Chairman George Marcar said: "I really enjoyed the day and I know everyone who attended did as well.

"It is always a pleasure having events like this because people enjoy themselves and it is nice to put something back into the community."
