Ashford International Model Railway Excellence Centre (AIMREC)

[Railwaygun]

On 16 March, the audacious scheme hatched over several pints by the air-freshener factory owner and the rock star (Cliff Pardons & Roger Daltrey) took a giant leap forward when Ashford council gave planning approval for the world's largest model-railway exhibition centre. The 2.5-acre Ashford International Model Railway Education Centre (Aimrec) will display as many as 30 enormous model railway layouts, many of them worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
