Jools Holland.. Talented musician, Transport enthusiast and ACE Railway Modeller.

Always admired this Guy for a number of reasons, not least his obvious liking for older British Steel in the form of the Products of Longbridge, Cowley and elsewhere in the UK.

Now this item caught my eye recently.

The Stow greyhound stadium still has the frontage but the track, and stock car track, have long gone. Now all apartments stand on the sight. To the left of the track there are houses and no tower blocks. There is no railway in the foreground but there is a car showroom where once that car park for the greyhound racing was. Plus where the diary once stood is a Sainsbury’s.

A lot has changed and it never hurts to make it look like how you want to see a place. It’s just seems to us that grew up in the area look out of context.

WoW! what an incredible set up,

I watch a few guys on youtube with model railways and the stuff available nowadays is really good.
I should imagine that hobby would cost more than a bob or two

I've just been weighing up whether to get one o these here train simulator games for PC, would be good to try something new whilst the dark nights of Winter are here.

Nah, go for an authentic BR 1980's simulator where the revs on the huge diesel engine behind you die away then silence and you sit and think "awe FFS, what's wrong with this heap of sh..!"

There, genuine insight into train driving!
