Model railway boom and alumni

[Gordon]

Two items in the same day in The Times newspaper the other day

1) report on Hornby doing very well out of the pandemic as people do more railway modelling (it included typical clichéd references to old people but at least avoided using 'chuff chuff' or 'choo choo' to illustrate a railway story

2) useful ammunition for sceptics - an 'up to date' list of 'cool' people who are railway modellers, includes Bruce Springsteen as well as Rod Stewart etc
