The layout with the most votes was Copper Wort, and the owner Peter Goss was able to add another trophy to his collection.

Mr Goss was the winner of the Railway Modeller Cup in 2022 and has won several awards at other model railway shows.

His layout depicts a scene based around the brewing industry in Burton on Trent and show part of the complex railway system that served its needs. Mr Goss was presented with the trophy by Trainshed Chairman Mike Brayshaw.

There were also several traders at the show offering model railway supplies and collector’s items for sale.
