It appears the Beast from the East is disrupting trains of all shapes and sizes as the bad weather has forced the cancellation of a popular annual model railway exhibition.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Narrow Gauge Modellers group planned to host its fourth annual open day at Blyburgate Hall, Beccles, on Saturday, March 3.

However the hazardous conditions caused by the Beast from the East means the event will no longer take place.

Organiser Ricahrd Doe said: “Unfortunately due to the weather we have had to cancel the show.”

A rescheduled date for the event is yet to be announced.
