He didn't even finish his latest music album, his son's modeltrain set had to be completed first :p I didn't know he was that enthousiastic about it. Does anybody know what his brand is? Does he drive Märklin? Oh yes, I'm a huge fan of Collin's work.

I thought it was very clever how they rigged up the Brit rail signal to stop the train. I never knew he was into our hobby. Thanks for the info! Cheers, Peter

" PS. I'm an old Genesis fan too.

It only featured half of the layout, Three Rivers City, Of which most of the buildings were built in hotel rooms while on tour. someone else did the benchwork for the layout. The December 2010 issue will again feature his layout
