Great quote: ""The great thing about model railways is you can be doing a bit of woodwork, a bit of painting, a bit of this, a bit of that, and have fun with your mates," he said." Sums it up very nicely! George V.
I wish this would happen. Such a named person could draw a lot of positive attention to this hobby. I wonder who all is out there, famous personalities, quietly enjoying our pastime?
There's Michael Gross who used to host Tracks Ahead, as I recall. Gary Coleman was involved in N Scale some time back.

Anyone who has seen big bang theory, the character "Sheldon" is a train buff, and they ridicule him for that passion.
