"We’re just so pleased to bring the model railway show to St Neots, and it’s good to encourage other people interested in modelling railways to come along and meet us.”

The exhibition took place on October 15 back at the Priory Centre for the first time since 2007 and featured 10 railway layouts, three owned by members and seven provided by supporting clubs and individuals.
