Yorkshire Wolds Railway's annual model show a success after being held over two days for the first time

The increasingly popular Yorkshire Wolds Railway's annual model show has been held over two days for the first time.

The fifth edition of the model railway show saw enthusiasts fill Driffield Showground's Rix Pavilion with their layouts over the weekend.

The event is organised by local heritage line the Yorkshire Wolds Railway's volunteers.

Katy Bowser said “We worked really hard to bring over 16 layouts together under one roof, ranging from Z to O gauge and from 1.5ft long to over 20ft long. Scarborough Trams and Settrington are just a few examples of the layouts that are based on locations near to us. When we planned the first show five years ago, we had no idea it would turn into such a popular event. Being able to extend the duration of the show to two days really gives people plenty of opportunity to visit and see the wonderful models on display.”
