MODEL railway enthusiasts from across the UK arrived in Glasgow yesterday for the annual Model Rail Scotland event.
Thousands of modelling fans packed the SECC for this year's event, which is the biggest ever held north of the Border.
More than 50 different layouts are featured in the show, including a scale recreation of Paisley Central Station, as well as a number of stalls selling everything from replica steam engines to miniature towns and villages.
Around 30 Scottish clubs from as far apart as Aberdeen and Dumfries are exhibiting at this year's exhibition, which runs until tomorrow across two halls.
As well as checking out the latest developments in their hobby, enthusiasts will also compete to produce the best model locomotive on show.
Trophies are also awarded for the best piece of model rolling stock, and the best overall scene or architectural model.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
