A TOY fair in Rayleigh had record attendance.

The Rayleigh Toy and Model Train Collectors Show had a range of items on display, including model trains in popular scales, diecast road vehicles, toy soldiers and science fiction collectibles.

There were also two train layouts, as well as 100 stalls selling a variety of items.

Organiser Gerry Widdowson said: "It was one of the best in terms of the number of people who attended.

"We had 400 people.

"It was very good.

"There were two lay-outs on the stage, one was a live steam one.

"There were between 90 and 100 tables too, selling things like trains, buses and soldiers.

"It was a really good event."

The next one will take place on January 22, at The Sweyne Park School, Sir Walter Raleigh Drive, Rayleigh.
