........started on BBC1 at 2pm today and there are 8 x ½hr daily episodes. I believe model railways will feature at some point but not to the extent we'd like. Still, it's presented by the lovely Sara Cox so I'd watch it anyway :heart2:
A remarkable model of the winding head at Silverwood Colliery in S.Yorkshire featured in today's episode
Thanks for the reminder, I meant to try and catch this series, but sincerely hope it doesn't major on the weepy-weepy back-stories that programs such as The Repair Shop suffer from. I love seeing the skills shown by the repairers but not the other bits.
[edit] Sadly it's as I feared. I skipped the first 6.5 minutes to get to the start of the modelling.
[more edit] Binge-watching more episodes on iPlayer :) Skipping about half of each program. The miniature modelling is very good and I can appreciate the skills. I have a former work colleague who's now taken to posting her models of fruit and veg, bread and cakes etc. on Facebook. They are extremely good, better than others I see in dolls house shops etc. :)
Wonder if I can get them to knock up a model of the old Wolverton station as I spent so much time there in my youth :hmmm:
