Just to add that not long after Sam started at Hornby, a film crew arrived to film a behind-the-scenes documentary which is going to be aired on Quest, next month I think. They did a long interview with him about his role in the technical support department, mainly because no-one else wanted to do it, and although it may be cut from the programme when it's aired it will probably be worth a watch for model rail enthusiasts anyway. EDIT to say it's going to be screened on Yesterday, not Quest. corporate.uktv.co.uk/news/article/uktv-yesterday-channel-hornby/ |

I think if we ever won millions and had a big house with a loft I would probably build a huge model railway. I think it goes back to when I was a kid, I used to train spot and remember standing on a bridge with about 30 or so other excited kids waiting for a steam train to come through. I can still remember the rumble and thunder and the smoke and steam and all us lot shouting and screaming with excitement as the train passed under the bridge. In a way I feel sorry for the kids of today, they will never experience those things. And thinking about it, Christ, where have all the years gone.
