More than 1,000 train enthusiasts made tracks to a model railway exhibition at the weekend.

People from across the country came to the town for Keighley Model Railway Club's 29th annual exhibition at Victoria Hall. Keighley town Mayor Councillor Nancy Holdsworth was also in attendance to show her support for the club.

There were more than ten layouts in various scales to choose from, plus modelling demonstrations and full trade support.

The club's flagship 7mm scale "Ravensbeck" was shown for the first time in its new extended form, and was voted the best layout of the show.

Tomorrow it will be displayed at Alexandra Palace, in London -- the third time in a row the club has had a layout at the palace.

Club secretary Mick McNamara said of the Keighley show: "It was a good atmosphere and I was really impressed with the turnout -- it was 30 per cent up on last year's attendance."

All money raised during the weekend will go towards the running of the club.
