MODEL train enthusiasts are going loco over their new test track.
Members of Banbury and District Model Railway Club have unveiled a 22ft by 14ft layout for trains of various gauges.
Secretary Keith Bristow said: “It means the guys with the bigger engines who may not have any space at home can watch them go round rather than back and forwards.”
The former print worker, 76, said: “Everybody takes the mickey out of the hobby, but we’re like-minded people who just like trains.”
The club meets at Cherwell Business Village, in Southam Road, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
