Title: The Biggest Little Railway in the World

New series starting on Channel 4 on 7th January. Wrong gauge, of course, but I don't think it would work with N!

What a shame that the only TV coverage that the hobby gets is like this. It would be nice to have a series, perhaps on daytime, covering the more usual type of modelling. Would make a welcome change to all those awful house hunting programmes...

I used to enjoy the Bob Symes Model World series from the mid 70s - it was repeated in the early 90s I think.

Me too. There's plenty of Bob on YouTube. Wonder what happened to his garden railways?
