RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2013 Seems to involve "The only railway enthusiast in Britain", so should get a reasonably fair representation I would think. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 75C Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Be fair... from managing Kylie Minogue to building "Leamington Spa" makes him a hero in my book. Kylie Min O Gauge, anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete 75C Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In the words of Eric Morcambe, there's no answer to that.... I didn't produce her (too young) and I doubt I could manage her (too old). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If I start a thread on "hotpants", any bets on how long it would take for someone to mention model railways...? One minute! OK, I suppose the post could refer to prototype colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Be fair... from managing Kylie Minogue to building "Leamington Spa" makes him a hero in my book. Kylie Min O Gauge, anyone? There must be other equally photogenic modellers who would be presentable on the telly, though. Tony Reynalds/ Chris Pendlenton /Tom Mallard / John Hayes / Martin Finney, etc. would have given the programme the high-brow edge to take away the toy-train image Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted January 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2013 The trouble with TV "people" is you never quite know if they are being funny or poking fun at contributors. The title is "The joy of (train)sets" which is an amusing play on "The Joy of sex" is this the way the programme will go ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 My head is "Spinning Around" with all this about the Aussie Budgie, KM and Pete Waterman. Regarding the TV show, we in OZ can not access the BBC video so will have to wait and try youtube or something. Looks like a good program.

RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted January 23, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi, On the website there are now four clips (inc. Iain Rice, a pretty able practitioner IMHO), which seems to support my general opinion that timeshift is one of the more reliable forms of the modern style Regards, Gerry.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 23, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2013 The trouble with TV "people" is you never quite know if they are being funny or poking fun at contributors. The title is "The joy of (train)sets" which is an amusing play on "The Joy of sex" is this the way the programme will go ? A quote from the website intro. "This isn't the story of eccentrics in duffel coats hiding in lofts. Railway Modelling is bigger than that and about much more than just trains" I'm quite looking forward to it. (I hope I get home for 9pm, otherwise it's the iplayer for me.....) Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
