No - not raising the Rod Stewart debate again.

Again a pic from Adelaide Rail Museum (hopefully Chris will post a link to his pics soon, so much better than my efforts)

A list showing Celebs who share our hobby (if not the scale)

Do you know of anymore ?

Can't see Roger Daltry there. He has actually contributed to the 00 Gresley Beat layout!

How on Earth did they miss out Pete Waterman? Owner of "Just Like The Real Thing" - O-gauge model manufacturers

Don't suppose Adelaide Museum would be aware of Ben A, very much a British thing being a journo on the BBC, same goes for Peter Snow also missed out


Paul

Peter Sellers had a model railway in his garage too

I don't think it was 'Kato' though


Paul

Aaaah Neddy...  nice piece of sacking you have there

Paul

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_transport_modellers - which has our Alan Cox listed too

The Goons, Paul

Paul

Didn't say it was a recent list - this is Oz mate, where laid back is really laid back. ie not up to date !

A while back Peter Snow was interviewed by John Humphrys about his layout.
There was some good natured banter from Humphrys. I think it was a large 00 setup
and the his lineside detail and buildings were a bit iffy, but he enjoyed having fun and
seeing his trains whizzing round, and that's the name of the game.

Okay, perhaps fairly obscure to some, but the German conductor Rudolph Kempe (perhaps the ultimate Richard Strauss interpreter) was also a model railway fiend - German H0 unsuprisingly.

Looking at the Wickedpedia list, the mind just boggles at the thought of Hermann Goering playing trains

Why though? Even German Luftwaffe Commanders need to do something to relax at the end of a hard day's ordering-about

And yes, I had to Google him too
