The world of model railways will be celebrated by Severn Valley Railway for a weekend, with 27 confirmed layouts on show.

On the weekend of May 4 and 5, the event will be held at The Engine House in Highley, and entry is included in the price of travel on the 16-mile heritage line.

Lewis Maddox, visitor engagement manager said: "We've got everything from 009 to O Gauge, including Welsh narrow gauge, American, and even a miniature version of the SVR’s hidden gem Eardington Station, which reopened late last year to passenger services for the first time in 40 years."
