Hi there, I'm not a fan but the wife watches it instead of going to church. Last night a guy on there was making a model of the Woodhead line.

Dear old Roy Cropper
The character has been a railway nut for years

Model railways on Coronation Street? Must get Mrs B to tune to UK TV! 

I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I was NOT having a layout as big as that in the living room! Thank goodness for N gauge.

Had to laugh tonight as Roy had the layout propped up on books, old radios etc while the corner of the room looked like a small branch of a DIY shop

He had power to the track, as a loco moved. What was he faffing about with that figure though?

He was running a blue pre TOPS class 24 (I think - it had a 4 digit number).
The figure was one his late wife had mended for him.

Wow guys you all seem well informed, I have been too busy constructing my river and bridge to watch corry,
In fact I would rather watch grass grow.

Well, I'm interested! Mrs B has UK TV on the pay channels, but I think we're a year or two behind the times, here though.

We could tell that, George, by the length of time it took you to get a BP

As this is on the open forum, I would like to assure any potential members that we have some very funny people on here.

I do sometimes have to watch Coronation Street, if only to get control of the remote, and ensure the following footy stays on! Am now interested to see the layout!
(That's my story, anyway)

Here's a bit of detail on Roy's railway:

Oh no... a Cornonation Street website... (how naive am I to not even think of that)...
