Railway buffs will soon be able to take home their very own steam train - in their pocket.
Kent-based model maker Hornby has launched a new range of models powered entirely by miniature steam engines.

The firm, which has its headquarters in Margate, said the trains were a huge leap forward in miniature railway technology.

The engines - expected to be in the shops by the end of the year - are the culmination of three years' work, a Hornby spokesman said.
