Model rail exhibition, Bury Art Gallery, 1986
Bury Art Gallery was home to an eight-day long celebration of the art of model making in February 1986.
One of the highlights was a model of Helmshore Station which had taken members of the Model Transportation Group from Accrington seven years to build and which featured 50 feet of O gauge layout.
Robbie Harrison of Bury, the group’s secretary, is pictured demonstrating the layout
