ENTHUSIASTS from across the region gathered for a two-day annual exhibition of model railways at the weekend. They included nine-year-old Gavin Dodsworth, of Darlington, above. The event, at Darlington College of Technology, was run by Darlington Model Railway Club. Displays on show included line layouts at Shildon, Crystal Lake and Whitby. Children were entertained by a special feature on television favourite Thomas the Tank Engine. Picture: SARAH NICHOLSON
