AN array of model railways went on display at the weekend.

The annual show staged at Ormesby Hall country house, in Middlesbrough, organised by the National Trust, featured nine beautifully crafted layouts.

Co-ordinator Paul Bolton was on hand to give demonstrations of how the models worked.

He also offered advice and information to visitors.

Mr Bolton said: "This event has always proved popular over the seven years it has been running. Each year, we try and bring out new models for the visitors, who vary in ages from children up to pensioners with a life-long hobby.

"This weekend's event was as popular as ever and saw streams of families from around the area coming to see our displays."

The show ran on Saturday and yesterday.
