This is Rod Stewart's model version of Grand Central Station in New York (circa 1940's). Who'd have thought the wrinkled old rocker would have such a hobby? To be honest though, it looks brilliant!
thats pretty cool i used to have some bit and pieces when i was a kid, the hornby stuff, not diesel/electric models though, i liked the older choo choo steam trains
i used to have this train!
i bet they're still about at my dads place somewhere, my brother was well into them after me
funny really how much enjoyment i got from just watching trains go round and round
skylace, next time you're in england, theres a place in dorset - huge model railway place, but i can't remember the name - sure it begins with p ...
My boys absoltley LOVE trains. I can't even begin to tell you the various scales and models we have ... we have teeny tiny to big big ... Whilst in Hamburg we took them to the Train MIniature Wonderland ... All I can say is if you love trains this is THE place to go. It is amazing!
that is amazing for sure - are all the separate rooms part of the same track system?
Some of the trains go from room to room. It is kind of a "around the world" train set up. The Florida part had a "Creature from the Black Lagoon." If you look close enough there are little naked people all over the set up too!
Here's a picture of David infront of the control room.
They also have the lights on a timer to mimic the sunrise and sunset - with the whole thing lit up of course! We were there for World CUp and they had the German "cities" set up for the world cup complete with crowds, jumbotrons and the wave!
I think thid one was supposed to be Hamburg:
