Rod Stewart's model railway

[Cotty]

Apparently he would take kits, tools and paints with him and book an extra hotel room for a workshop so he could pursue his hobby in between concerts wherever he was in the world.

Pretty impressive feat, I suspect he's not lying about having done 90% of the work.

Good to see a "cool dude" indulging himself in such a hobby. Makes the rest of us model builders feel better about ourselves.

Yeah, bit of a shame he's felt the need to keep it so secretive over the years.

I hope some video content comes out of his set up, I love a good model railway 'fly-through'!

I think he stumped up a few grand for the club who had their display vandalised a few months back

He has owned Lamborghini Miuras, had some beautiful wives and has a massive model railway- Jealous? me not much!

What happened to the guy with the orange Lambo from Evo who was building the model junction on here?

Not a update since February 2018 sadly! (although he doesn't seem to be that active on PH at the moment, only two other posts on PH since then both Lambo related)

Think this is the one you're referring to. Obviously updating more on RMweb.

Not sure he's kept it very quiet, he was interviewed about it some years ago.

Brilliant, looks really impressive!

If anyone is ever in Hamburg a visit to Miniatur Wunderland is well worth it!

Never been a secret. His huge railway has been known about for many years, but photographs have never been made public.

Anyone remember the huge one at Alton Towers in the 1960's, before it became that god awful theme park?

Sir Rod called in to Jeremy Vine on radio 2 this morning to put Vine straight after his hands-on involvement was questioned....and then he and Jools Holland, on separate lines, had a dublo love-in....followed by Steve Lamaq enthusing about his end to end layout...surreal and fantastic all at once, echoed by a tweet by Victori Coren-Mitchell!

Agree that Hamburg's Miniature Wonderland is off the scale awesome and worth a trip over on it's own...and then there's the kolch bars, reeperbahn, Soviet sub.....

That is stunning, and good on him for putting one over on Jeremy Vine as well.

Some guys get all the luck!

Listened to the Jeremy Vine show a little earlier.

Best radio I have heard in a long time, well worth a listen.

Coffee - keyboard. :-)

Well done that man

I get impatient looking at the build processes and frustrated looking at still images, I want to see movement!
