Model railway enthusiasts have descended on Glasgow to see the biggest model railway layout in Britain this weekend.
Model Rail Scotland is back at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) from Friday to Sunday (February 23-25).
Star of the show is a "colossal" 70 x 40ft Eastfield layout, based on the depot in the city, which is the largest layout ever displayed at the exhibition.

Thousands of people are expected to turn out for the event, one of the most popular annual exhibitions in the country, as it returns for its 57th year.
Scotland's "premier model rail show" is showcasing more than 50 miniature railway layouts and has around 145 exhibitors stands.
Organisers say a large number of layouts will be making either their first ever appearance at Model Rail Scotland or visiting a Scottish exhibition for the first time. While eight model layouts are on their first ever outing to a public show.
It is open between 10.30am and 6pm each day at Hall 3 of the SEC, except on Sunday when it closes at 5pm.
Ticket prices are £15 for adults, £5 for children and £35 for families (two adults and two children).
A courtesy vintage Glasgow Corporation bus service will take visitors from George Square to the SEC, while making stops at Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central stations.
The exhibition is supported by Hornby Hobbies, Bachmann Europe, Peco and Accurascale.
