    An exhibition at Chester Cathedral currently includes a 64ft long model of Milton Keynes Central Station.

    A huge model of Milton Keynes Central Station, built by music producer Pete Waterman and his team, is currently on display at Chester Cathedral.

    An interactive 64ft-long (19.5m) model railway based on a Buckinghamshire railway station is going on display at Chester Cathedral, in Cheshire.

    Waterman and fellow railway enthusiasts are at the Cheshire-based cathedral for the third year running with his group of model railway enthusiasts, raising money for the cathedral.

    The model railway is set to be on display until 2nd September.

    Waterman says he chose Milton Keynes Central Station due to it being the 'most modern and unique' on the network.

    The layout includes a 'scenic section' to capture the station in modern-day times and also has detailed replicas of surrounding buildings and locations. 

    It also has lights and sound to bring the scene to life. The exhibition features interactive elements including the chance to operate the trains using digital controls. 

    The music producer told the BBC that the estimated value of the model is about £250k.
