Hi all 

Just found this on another railway forum so thought i would share the link 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01q9vhy

Wonder if there will be any N Gauge featured 

dave 

Well spotted, and thanks for posting. Seems like a "Must see!"

Why do I get the feeling it will only be the larger gauges that are featured 

However, I am sure it will be worth watching and thank you for bringing this programme to the forums attention.

cheers John.

Heard sometime last year that this was coming up, been waiting ever since!

Thanks for the link

If somebody starts yaking on about their old Triang 'Flying Scotsman' in the show i'll go nuts !!! 

Got a feeling this will be very similar to James May's 'Toy stories' and will probably feature a lot of Pete Watermans layout, although it's really amazing - almost every show that talks about models... and there's his layout 

Sorry to sound negative, but the media really don't have a clue about our hobby and every time i am shown these poorly researched and though out programs, my heart sinks...

I could be wrong of course, I'll will be watching tonight and will have a humble pie on standby, just in case ! 

Oooh something to look forward to.  I like Mr Waterman - always makes me smile.

Mike,

You might have a long wait, it's on next Wednesday 23rd January

Hi chaps and chappettes,having seen this I thought I'd set it for my sky + box to record it and found no mention of it on BBC 4 so I looked on their website and discovered its on next wednesday,the 23rd January and repeated the following night,not tonight as has been suggested.
Just thought I'd inform everyone just in case they made special arrangements to watch it.

May be worth watching on BBC4 at 9pm on Wednesday 23rd Jan.
"Examines the poularity of trainsets. What started out as an adult obsession with building model railways became the iconic passtime of the 1950s/60s".
No idea what it's like but may be worth watching.

Thanks but see also.............
