I make that 67 famous modellers, but I've only ever heard of 27 of them. Not sure I want to be in the company of Walt Disney and definitely not Hermann Goering, but I had at least heard of them and knew that Hermann had a layout. Not sure Bob Symes should be included; didn't he become famous for being a modeller in the first place? Lionel Trains is very frequently mentioned in the list, an indication of the iconic place it holds in US culture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 To get back to the original point, Anne does have a layout and has mentioned it a few times when on The Jeremy Vine Show, and its predecessor The Wright Stuff. Another less well-known enthusiast is Susan Calman. She doesn't drive so travels by train a lot, and has also started modelling. She was considering a garden layout at one point and goes to Model Rail Scotland most years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
