Train buffs are invited to visit an annual model railway exhibition.
The show at the National Slate Museum takes place daily until Sunday, March 2, from 10am to 4pm.
Visitors can enjoy free rides for children on miniature steam engines, daily demonstrations, talks and archive films.
Rides will be on the museum's own collection of trains and on the North Wales Model Engineering Society engines as well as on a larger engine which will circle the museum's diamond saw shed.
There will be numerous model railway layouts to marvel at including Gwynedd’s Penmorfa model railway club’s ‘0’ gauge Hornby range and Colwyn Bay and Caernarfonshire Model Railway Club’s ranges.
This year also sees the first display of Dinorwig quarry with a working incline and slate wagons.
Both tomorrow and Sunday families can enjoy storytelling sessions with local actor Iwan Charles in the atmospheric surroundings of a railway carriage engine.
And there will also be a patriotic touch on Saturday.
A spokesman said: “Anyone wearing a Welsh shirt or a leek or a daffodil can have a free Welsh cake or slice of bara brith in the museum café.”
