It's certainly beautifully done! 

He does a lot of the work himself of course, but he does have a couple of helpers as well.


It's been a wonderful hobby that I find I enjoy more and more as I grow older.

 


Oh, and Cat.

As for Sir Rod: It's obviously in his heart, it's in his soul ...

And his baby took the downtown train.

Of course, the first diaphragm diorama is the deepest ... Young Roderick was all ears when he heard about his first model train set.



Flash thought: Mark, underneath all those wigs, are your ears a bit like that too, i.e. thunderbirdish in nature, wings wedged to a center block? (innocently) Is this a common model railroader trait?

It's inbred!  Secretly, underneath my Gothy, Queenie exterior I'm a mouth breathing knuckle dragging model train lovin' dork.

I was told he has a road case housing a little work station where he can build stuff while touring. Guess he was in Modern Railroader magazine a couple of years ago.

All this was revealed much earlier of course. We were simply fooled into believing fishnet stockings and blondes were his fetish of choice when it was in fact ... DERELICT  RAILWAYS!!!

[TBird1958]

Well I guess Rod proves that 'Train Fever" can overtake even the most famous of us, making us "physical wrecks"

Interests change due to aging and a lower level of testosterone. After we castrated our dog the main interest switched from bitches to food so why not model trains?

[Granny Gremlin]

I saw the article and immediately thought of you lot.  S'up; whatImiss?

[uwe]

We now discuss diminished testosterone levels on a regular basis here. While of inevitable nature, I'm not sure whether it is a subject you have really "missed", Jake!

[Granny Gremlin]

Is that what's goin on in yer avatar?

Well, I am not happy to be joining the club as it were with many of you lot as regards ex wives.  I suppose I wouldn't mind the low down on all the other fun things I have to look forward to.

Diminished? In Roderick's case, they may have vanished entirely...

Roderick? I thought that was Penny and her mum!
