[Phil Parker]

Interesting discussion on the rise of creative hobbies and Hornby on Radio 4's You and Yours today.

The chat to Pete Waterman (of course) and Dave Myers of the "Hairy Bikers" cookery programme, who it turns out is a new railway modeller.

Just now, Phil Parker said:

Apparently spotted around shows close to home. Good on him; entertaining people who are modellers is a good thing.

Pete and Dave sound like good promoters of the hobby, they sounded passionate but light hearted and conveying the fun they have.

Good on them!

He built a 35 foot dirigible in his back garden. Or did he?

Well here is filming in progress for an episode of the Beery Hikers in a suitable railway setting - not sure which one is which!  Wembley Park, on a day of invasion of German footie fans for the European Champions League Cup Final - and Steam on the Met.  (May 2013).

A friend was at a show somewhere (holme show or something) and decided to watch, he got chatting with a pair of blokes and took him a minute to realise it was those two.
