Rod Stewart, a gentleman, a rock star and a model railroader! A man who we all admire and listen to when we're doing what we love, model railroading! Three cheers to a wonderful truly wonderful man!
Now doesn't that almost sound like us, except we're not rock stars!
Model railroader's are truly admirable people and it shows.

He was in Model Railroader twice, about a year apart. i have both issues, because I happened to get it at the time.

Oh, so we now have two threads on the same newspaper article.
It is also published in The Times.

Yeah, considering Steve Flint (of the channel 5 program) and another staff member went over to his house to generate the article. maybe all they went for was to give him a customised wagon and get their photo taken with him (see end of article).
