Get Your Man a Train Set this Christmas
Do you know what Steven Spielberg, Neil Young, Pete Waterman and James May all have in common? They are all model train enthusiasts.
Well know music producer Pete Waterman has a huge system housed in 200 foot barn, reputed to be worth at least half a million pounds. He even has his own model train making company. And this isn't in the least bit unusual amongst wealthy model train enthusiasts. Neil Yound and Steven Spielberg have their own, respected model train company called Lionel trains.
And this small band of celebrities are not alone in their obsessive enthusiasm for model trains. Building and running model train sets is no longer a hobby pursued by young boys. It's their dads, their uncles and even the old rock musicians they listen to who are more likely to have a room full of Hornby Trains.
Vintage model train collecting has become big business. Collectors look for vintage model locomotives that are in pristine condition, still in their boxes having never been used on a track. To many, including James May, this is not what these model trains were meant for.
At a model train auction Mr won a completely unused Hornby train set for £200 which other collectors would have kept, unused, in its box. Mr May built and played with the train set in his James May's Top Toys television programme as he says this is what was intended when the system was made.
In the December 20th edition of the current series of James May's Toy Stories he and around 400 valiant volunteers rebuild the long lost rail link between Bideford and Barnstaple in Devon using OO gauge model train track. Although the link suffered due to vandals stealing some of the track for a short time Bideford and Barnstaple were once again linked by rail. Unfortunately the little model trains were obviously not big enough to carry any passengers but a lot of people enjoyed building the rail link.
You could win one of two fantastic Hornby Train Sets in the current Christmas Hornby Competition from modelzone.co.uk. Just answer one simple question and you're in with a chance.
