Two-year-old Christopher Booth donned a train driver’s cap at the Abingdon Model Railway Club’s annual show at St Nicholas Church Hall.

Visitors viewed other station layouts built to the finest detail including a broken window pane and graffiti. During the last three years, members have built up a book club with a library of information on many railway topics.Two-year-old Christopher Booth donned a train driver’s cap at the Abingdon Model Railway Club’s annual show at St Nicholas Church Hall.
