John Ryans other love.....

[LongbridgeMGRover]

Our ex chairman shares a passion other than football with Rod Stewart and my good self. Not sure of his views of leggy blondes half his age, but JR has a really impressive Model Railway. It is featured again in Septembers British Railway Modelling and is superb.

If i had a model railway like his i would never leave the house again, let alone go to a football game!!

I think I speak for everyone when I say...

Look at the size of that DMU.

[Lipsy]

There are a load more vids on YouTube, but I find the whole thing a little odd and not a little soporific. Search away!

On a much more serious note: has anyone seen anything of John since the takeover went **** up??
I did worry about his health etc. I'm sure it's all been very stressful for him, and none of us is getting any younger, including him

That's am excellent vid. It's all in the detail. 1000s of hours of painstaking effort gone in to that.

Helluva an overall station roof at the end. I've never seen one anything like it before. As it's O gauge that's either massively expensive in money, ir, if not that, in time. Very impressive. Some real nice touches with the dirty ballast down the centre of the station and the illuminated rear light. Anyone know if he's gone DCC?

You can see the Rovers shirts framed down the far end...

I was half expecting Ringo Starr to chime in with some narration.

I must admit to having no idea what i'm looking at but at face value that station is massive and must have taken some putting together.

[wing commander]

Yes I'm not into that kind of thing myself but each to there own...There is no doubt that a massive amount of time,patience,effort and a large lump of cash has gone into that and the results are impressive..The only train I'm normally worried about is the one that has half a chance of getting me back to Donny for last orders..lol
