Give Your Man What He Wants - A Model Train
Do you know what Steven Spielberg, Neil Young, Pete Waterman and James May all have in common? They are all keen on their model trains.
Music industry mogul Pete Waterman has a magnificent system, housed in a 200 foot barn, reputed to be worth as much as half a million pounds sterling. He even owns his own train making company. And this isn't unusual amongst wealth model train enthusiasts. Steven Spielberg and Neil Young have their own model train company called Lionel trains.
And this group of well known personalities are not alone in their enthusiasm for model trains. Building model railway systems is no longer a hobby pursued by young boys. These days their dads and uncles, along with some old time rock musicians, who are more likely to be Hornby train enthusiasts.
Model train collecting has become big business. Obsessive model train collectors are not interested in playing with the model trains and they only want pristine vintage models, still in their boxes having never been played with. To many, including James May, this is not what these model trains were meant for.
At a model train auction Mr won a completely unused Hornby train set for £200 which other collectors would have kept, unused, in its box. James May is not an obsessive collector, prefering to play with these vintage models than to look at them in their boxes.
In the pre-Christmas December 20th edition of James May's Toy Stories he and loads of helpers rebuild the long lost rail link between Bideford and Barnstaple in Devon using OO gauge model train track. Although the link suffered due to vandals stealing some of the track for a short time Bideford and Barnstaple were once again linked by rail. Obviously the model trains didn't carry any passengers of goods but the people involved had a great time building the track.
You could win one of two fantastic Hornby Train Sets in the current Christmas Hornby Competition from modelzone.co.uk. All you need to do is answer just one very simple question and you could win a great Hornby train set.
Theater review: ‘It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play’ (Arts-Culture)
Nothing beats a live performance, and at Weathervane Playhouse, audiences get
a double dose of that with It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. The show,
set in 1946 at the fictional Akron radio station WAKY, fulfills director Bob
Belfance and playwright Joe Landry's primary goal of allowing audiences to
make vivid use of…
