Is Richard Branson not on the list he must have the biggest train set in the country!

He doesn't own it though, nor did he build it

The thread refers to modellers - the only things he ever modelled are his teeth

I've heard of something called 00, but is there a DD gauge

I thought this was a family forum............

Komata · September 19, 2014, 05:17:58 PM

And there is of course '8' gauge (which can be very engauging BTW and is used extensively throughout New Zealand)

This is of course somewhat-wired of the mark, although it was used for rails in the very early days of the hobby...

But, so that no-one gets to railed-up, back to the topic...

Somewhat of a bump(!) and been discussed before but this popped up on Yahoo today.........

Love the way he says 7 hours can just disappear while he plays with his trains

Agrippa, that is a really patronising and unnecessary remark.

You're a bit late dude.......

Rod Stewart was on the One show tonight with Jimmy Carr and was asked the question is it true when you are on tour you also hire a room for your train set, To which I replied for my scale model railway not train set, Jimmy Carr started taking the mick so he said lets drop that subject now. Strange but someone in my local model shop had only just told me about hiring a room on Tuesday, I was a bit sceptical about it.
