Title: BBC4 documentary. 'Timeshift - The Joy of (Train) Sets' Post by: JayMac on January 26, 2013, 22:57:33 Just noticed this one on BBC iPlayer, broadcast earlier this week. Looks good.
Quote The Model Railway Story: From Hornby to Triang and beyond, this documentary explores how the British have been in love with model railways for more than a century. What began as an adult obsession with building fully-engineered replicas became the iconic toy of 1950s and 60s childhood. With unique archive and contributions from modellers such as Pete Waterman, this is a celebration of the joys of miniaturisation. Just don't call them toy trains. Available on BBC iPlayer until 9:59pm Wednesday 6th February 2013. http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01q9vhy/ This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
