AROUND 400 people attended the eighth annual toy and train fair run by Exmoor Coast Railway Modellers at Richard Huish College, Taunton, on Saturday.

The event consisted of seve4ral stands selling various items as well as East Devon Slot Racing Club's track circuit and a Thomas the Tank Engine line for children to play with.

Representatives from the Great Western Society were on hand to explain the conservation work they undertake.

David Nelhams, of the Exmoor Coast Railway Modellers, said: "It is one of two events we run every year to raise funds for the club - the other one is in Minehead.

"It is getting bigger and better every year, but we pride ourselves in the fact that it's big enough to attract a lot of people, yet still small enough to create a friendly atmosphere."
