PatB Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Cue much speculation on which RMWeb identity she's hiding behind. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted September 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2019 The same could be said of any celebrity modellers. I don't think any of them would willingly announce their identities on any public forum, and even if their identity here was found out it would get changed to a new one as soon as practicable. I think that that would actually be a good thing too, as knowing which identity was a celebrity would distract from their modelling, and distract the rest of us getting on with our rants and raves here 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH NO !! And there was me thinking she was just joking. Heaven forbid, model railway clubs being overtaken by like minded females---------argh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25901 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Sandy Toksvig having a model railway is not new news, she talked about it in a Radio 4 interview back in 2015. She has populated her layout with female figures. Edited September 7, 2019 by 25901 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 It’s old news, I’ve seen reference to her train set from 2015. populated only by female characters - is that really how she sees the world ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she knows it will get that reaction yep Don’t many modellers model what ifs? Whats wrong with her what if? A couple of preserved lines have run days staffed by the ladies and we have quite a lot of lady drivers, guards and Signallers so it’s also reality some days It’s not like she’s moaning about it being a sexist hobby or lambasting manufacturers for not doing enough female figures . . . She’s just enjoying her little world and doing the equality bit quietly Kathy & Sandi judging the Great Model Railway show would be rather good as she’s much funnier than the chap from Car SOS 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Think you may need to look up the definition of equality - because having all one sex/colour/race etc is exactly the opposite . Anyway , I just found it strange I don’t want to enter into some “ inclusiveness “ debate . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
