homepage Forums SimHQ Community Community Hall Rod Stewart's Trainset

Ran across this on Facebook....


“Rod Stewart, renowned for his iconic rock voice, has a lesser-known passion: model railways. He has invested years into creating a 124-foot city model inspired by New York and Chicago circa 1945, which is both intricate and fully functional. In a BBC Radio 2 interview, Stewart revealed that he built 90% of the model himself, with help only for the electrical aspects. Despite some perceiving his hobby as trivial, Stewart finds it incredibly rewarding and emphasizes his commitment to giving it his all. The project, spanning several years, became an addictive challenge, showcasing his relentless drive for creativity and perfection, whether on stage or in his miniature world.”

That’s really awesome. Rod seems like the kind of guy that you’d like to have a beer with.

When it comes to models and years of persistence in building it, this for me takes the prize.

That Rome model is pretty amazing

Fantastic work! Both the trainset and the Rome model.
The skill and patience to do this is impressive.

he regularly hangs out with locals in public bars in Glasgow when he comes to watch his beloved Celtic play.
