Rod Stewart's model railway
- Thread starter Blue Lou
- Start date
A long time ago I was in a Vancouver pub to watch a Rangers-Celtic match at 8 in the morning. There was a guy there by himself, who I was sure looked a lot like Rod Stewart. I figured it can't be, because nobody was bothering him. Celtic were getting thrashed 3-0 iirc and 5 or 10 minutes from the end he got up to leave, and immediately a dozen other people jumped up to say hello etc. So it was him, and unknown to me he had some tour dates there. I thought it was very respectful of everyone to not bother him while he was watching the match. This was before the days of smartphones.
I met him in Italy during Italia 90. He was drunk out his brains after the Scotland win over Sweden. I always thought he was Scottish and was quite surprised by his (drunken slurry) English accent. Good bloke though.
Is he?
Do you have a source for this? I don't remember hearing about this before.
Did you really though? It felt more like speculation without evidence.
Possibly confusing him with someone else?
I never heard of this before, and I can't seem to find anything about it with some quick searches on google to even remotely mention this.
Interesting, apparently David Bowie, Roger Daltry, and Eric Clapton were too.
Per the fourth link of googling "enoch powell rod stewart":
Rod Stewart circa 1970 said:
Weird, didn't see that on my first page of searches, I had to go back a couple of pages to find that link.
I did find a few of the Clapton ones, but didn't see one with Rod Stewart in those earlier pages.
Thanks for the info.
There's something about the detail and density of it thats enthralling. I get why people are super into it now.
That is fucking amazing.
Having been to some model train shows, I can assure you this is definitely not a past time enjoyed exclusively by the old or rich. Where did you get that?

Wow incredible. So much detail. Packed to the rim with things.
Would hate to clean the thing though.

Makes it clear he rang in because his wife said he was being dissed. Ignores Jeremy's 'and me too?' when offering Jules a pick up. The deepest of deep sighs when Jeremy interrupts him and Jules talking about trains lol I enjoyed that haha
I think Neil Young is also very into model trains. If I recall correctly, he even has a patent for something related to it.
He may be rich, but he's also fairly generous with it too ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-48332649
