A Honiton couple who have taken over 10 years and spent £4,000 on a model railway are hoping to raise money for Devon Air Ambulance when they open their doors to the public. These pictures show part of Roger and Barbara Stimpson's incredible model railway they've built at their Devon home. Roger has Parkinson's and Barbara motor neurone disease and their passion for model trains has taken 10 years of work at a cost of around £4,000. Mr and Mrs Stimpson, from Honiton, have been collecting model trains for around a decade and their home has been taken over by railway sets and accessories, many of which they have assembled and handcrafted themselves. Models include the Eurostar, First Great Western and a reproduction of Babbacombe Cliff Railway in Torquay. They have also turned their garden into a complete remote-controlled railway network , and they are hoping to raise thousands of pounds for the Devon Air Ambulance when they open their doors to visitors on June 15.
