Musician and TV presenter Jools Holland has revealed his 100ft model railway.
Railway Modeller magazine covered the layout which Jules has so far spent 10 years constructing in the attic of his Kent home.
The 60-year old, best known for his TV show Later With…Jools Holland told Railway Modeller magazine, “I had a modest train set in the corner of a small room in a small house as a young boy. I have always loved trains,’ he recalled. ‘This gave me the great excuse to enjoy creating architectural capriccios, a working Motorway network, underground rail connections and much more.”
More pictures and the full interview are published in the January issue of Railway Modeller.
