A model railway and toy fair held near Welshpool proved to be a hit with hundreds of visitors, organisers say.

THE first Offa’s Dyke Toy Fair and Model Railway exhibition was held at the Buttington and Trewern Community Centre on Sunday, June 9.

As well as a dazzling collection of model railways from members of the Buttington Trewern Model Railway Club, a toy fair took place in the hall alongside trade exhibitors, while George and Dorothy Morgan supplied music with Ruby the fair organ.

“We started the club this year and we’re hoping this event becomes a regular thing,” said organiser Ian Bradley.
