I think Hornby have done a superb job, it's fantastic to see all the moving parts. The only thing is, what would you use it for? My 16x4 foot foot layout designed around the pit villages of the North-East, 1946-1955,complete with pits, workshops, slag heaps, and if anyone is reading this that could make me an aerial flight to my slag heap, get in touch. Anyway, even if if I ran it, it would be out of place by 120 years...unless I build like mini beamish..hmm, now there's a thought....Cheers.

I have just started modelling again after an enforced break of 36 years, while life got in the way! Thankfully now I have the three main elements in place to be able to build a layout, time, space and money. Its the most consuming and endless hobby and I agree very cool! Making models as a kid helps understand form, structure and perspective, its no surprise many kids who liked to build model railways went on to have successful careers. You learn a lot more than you do from a 2D screen.

@musoseven8218 Ай бұрын
Rod S is from the generation that wanted to be engine drivers. Hes been a rly modeller for decades, so has Clapton and a myriad of other contemporary rock and pop stars. Therein lies the rub, theyre all of a certain age. I like your sentiment though and you speak truths and sense. I suspect that you're preaching to the choir though🤔 Demographically, in Great Britain, we may have reached the zenith of railway modelling. We are all getting older, less youngsters are signing up in adulthood (I had high hopes of the original Thomas The Tank Engine generation would join us enmasse, Ive not seen that yet)💜🤕

Hi, three generations of my family are huge Bruce Springsteen fans and I didn't know this. I have read several books about him and watched him on stage plenty of times and never ever heard any mention of it. Maybe he is a bit like me and keeps his model railway low key. I would love to see his model railway, knowing Bruce I bet he is obsessive about getting every detail correct.
