A REAL collectors item will be on sale at this year's Banbury and District Model Railway Club annual show.

The group commissioned model manufacturer West Wales Wagon Works to produce a local goods wagon similar to those seen at Banbury station in years gone by.

The wagon chosen for this year carries the name of former Banbury brewers Hunt Edmunds.

The artwork for the model was sketched out some years ago by an unknown rail enthusiast and sent recently to West Wales, who have made a limited edition of 166 models. Unfortunately the artist got the name wrong and the wagons are labelled Hunt EdmOnds.

The club's exhibition manager Rod Maguire said: "Hopefully this will not deter enthusiasts from buying a model at £7.99 each. They will be available at the club's annual show at Broughton Hall, Banbury School, on Sunday, October 29 from 10am.
