James Mays Top Trains
Just before Christmas last year BBC2 broadcast a programme called “James Mays Top Toys” where the presenter took a look back at various toys, looking at their good points and thir failings.
The last ten minutes of the show as dedicated to model railways - a toy which James thoroughly approved of. Indeed I’m told he actually models N gauge. The segment included a potted history of the hobby, an interview with Pete Waterman - including a look around his large O gauge layout, a section dealing with the collectors, who collect but never play (boo!) and a dinner party which ends with all the males disappearing to play trains.
