One For The Model Rail Buffs Tonight

[Smokin Joe]

Channel 4 at 8pm, "The Biggest Little Railway in The World".

A group of enthusiasts attempt to build an O Gauge model railway from Fort William to Inverness, total length 71 miles. They are using a steam engine too, which makes it even better. The series is spread over five one hour episodes and should appeal to all of us who are still kids at heart (That's nearly all of us then).

Thanks. I don't get a TV guide so rely on posts like this to avoid missing good stuff. This looks excellent.

I have to admit to being a model rail anorak, maybe I can find it on YouTube.

Cheers SJ.

I'll be in the pub then so the box is set to record.

Probably for the best as you can then FF through the countless and never ending ad breaks on C4.

That's the way I watch most TV nowadays.

I've even been known to record Mastermind so that I can skip the specialist subjects that I'm not interested in.

Got to agree. It failed miserably.

 

[youngoldbloke]

I won't be watching again either.

I think watching paint dry seems more appealing.

 

[wheresthetorch]

I enjoyed it, but I watch very little TV and am easily amused by simple pleasures.

I watched up to the first break and it wasn't grabbing me.
3 more episodes? I don't think so.

He's hardly a stick, sorry for the thread revival I was searching in vain although I don't think I've ever visited vain, but I digress I was looking for another thread & found this one.
