Model exhibition highlights age of steam

A new scale model and memorabilia exhibition commemorating the days of Great Western Steam railways in Pembrokeshire has opened in Pembroke Dock.

Staged by the Pembrokeshire Diecast Club, the show is now open at the Martello Gun Tower Museum and will remain on display daily to October.

Included in this, the club's third show, are not only colourful exact scale models of Great Western Railway locomotives and rolling stock, but also rare memorabilia items, including a station clock, a guard's whistle, an engine driver's hat and button and very rare tickets from local stations.

Backing the models and memorabilia items are colour photographs of restored GWR engines and carriages.

Local modellers involved in staging the show include Mick Hancock, Chris Tuston and Peter Mitchell.
