The much-anticipated annual Corris Railway Society's Model Railway Exhibition is back again this coming August Bank Holiday Weekend.
The event will take place on August 24 and August 25 at Y Plas in Machynlleth.
The organiser, Bill Newton, is dedicated to providing a diverse range of activities at the event, with something to interest every visitor, regardless of their age.
This year's offerings include a Brio trains layout for hands-on experience for younger enthusiasts.
A trip down memory lane is planned, with a layout featuring items from the O gauge Hornby tinplate marque.

The exhibition will showcase a wide variety of model trains, including those that represent the Corris’ narrow-gauge railway.
Model ranges from the most famous 009 scale to larger 16mm models.
An interesting design to look for is the 009 set-up situated on a completely clean toilet bowl.
Additional standard gauge railway models in N, 00, and O scales will also be on display.
