MODEL RAILROADING IS FUN.

Frank Sinatra had some serious trains.  Rocker Rod Stewart does too, and he built many of the structures whilst on the road.  (If you're famous enough, you can book a suite of rooms and have the hotel move the furniture out of one of them and set up a work table.)

The urban scenery puts me in mind of George Selios's Franklin and South Manchester.  The rolling stock is North American, although that station throat has a British look about it, and the mixing of upper- and lower-quadrant semaphores and target signals on the signal gantry is idiosyncratic.

Perhaps in another ten years, which is the difference in Sir Rod's age and mine, I will have some similarly detailed scenes for your entertainment.  Plus I will have wired all of mine myself.
