Sean said: "“It’s amazing the following it has, and the different age groups too."

The club has a drag track and a model railway line that circles its mezzanine.

“There is nothing else like it, it’s unusual," Sean added.

Visitors to Daventry Miniature Race Cars will find a mezzanine packed with a range of race tracks suited to different levels of ability.

Along one side of the mezzanine is a 50ft drag track, equivalent in scale to a quarter mile, and a railway line runs all around the room which, when the locomotive chugs into gear, blasts out realistic sounds and moves just like the real thing.

Sean said there's another motivation behind Daventry Miniature Race Cars and Miniature World.

“I want to get the kids involved in modelling, get them off the Xbox, and the parents do too,” he said.

“I know we all have a go on the console but it’s destroying the imagination of the kids. I have to say when I start the locomotive up and the dads are up here racing they do stop and get their phones out.”
