Music mogul Pete Waterman is hoping to launch a new record this weekend, of the model railway variety.

He is attempting the Guinness World Record for the largest portable model railway, which will be on display at the NEC in Birmingham.

The 208ft x 14ft (63.4m x 4.3m) scale layout incorporates tracks built by Waterman and his Railnuts team over recent years for display at Chester Cathedral.

The layout will be displayed at Model World Live, a new exhibition combining model railways and scale modelling.
