Take a look at this railroad layout, August

I saw that article, thanks! I'm pretty sure I have seen his work in the model railroading magazines.

This is how it looked 3 1/2 years ago.



A lot more work has obviously gone into it since.

I don't think that's the same Rod.

I always wanted a layout as a kid but my parents wouldn't have had the means

When I got married the notion resurfaced and I dreamed of having an 'N' gauge set to make the most of space... I so wanted to make the terrain and buildings etc as good as possible, this being as important to me as the track and rolling stock

I even got the first loco (a Graham Farish 'Britannia' Class, 4-6-2 I think) but that and a few trackside kits was as far as it ever got. Money again, I guess

Sir Rod Stewart has pledged £10,000 following the destruction of a model railway exhibition.

The 74-year-old singer and model railway enthusiast said he was "absolutely devastated" to hear that decades of work by the Market Deeping Model Railway Club had been trashed by vandals.

Stands were overturned and layouts were destroyed at a school in Stamford, Lincolnshire, on Saturday, where the club was holding its annual show.

Sir Rod said in a statement: "I was absolutely devastated to hear that vandals had destroyed what was to be a lovely show.

"The collection was priceless and I am donating £10,000 to help compensate those affected and asking fellow enthusiasts Jools Holland, Roger Daltrey and others to do the same."

He added: "It took me 23 years to build my model railway so I feel their pain."
