It's been in most of the national papers today - the Express had a double page spread. He was also interviewed by Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 today. It would appear he came across across as a knowledgeable railway modeller.

Quite a few celebrities are railway modellers as it turns out. Was watching Pointless at the weekend (celebrity special) and Anne Diamond revealed she has two model railways.

Sinatra had a layout as does Neil Young who is a part owner of Lionel Trains.

Rod Stewart mentions that Roger Daltry and Jules Holland both have model railways. We are not alone!

I'm envious of you bumping into Jules Holland. In his younger days he was keyboard player for Squeeze, which remains one of my all time favourite bands. Great stuff, and their videos are still entertaining in an out-dated sort of way.

He and his 'minder'/friend turned up at our 2018 exhibition. He was incognito! Wearing dark sun glasses and a hat. He actually stood out more than had he just appeared!
