I'm proud to be a railway modeler.
When I was a kid, one of my hobbies was as model-maker.
I have a huge Lego collection - I have a really big Lego collection. We're talking pretty darn large. I also have a huge collection of original stainless steel Thomas the Tank Engine train toys. Beautiful little trains; they're my favorite thing in the world.
My first paycheck came from HobbyTown USA in Las Vegas. They had like planes and trains and RC cars, things like that.
All men would still really like to own a train set.
Like most boys, I had a model train set up in my bedroom, resting on a little-used ping-pong table upstairs.
Who doesn't like playing with a railway? I think we've all got Thomas the Tank Engine in our blood.
As a young boy, I had the usual hobbies - sports, baseball cards, model airplanes and trains. But I always had a distinct fascination with trains.
You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.
I used to play with model trains when I was a kid, and then I used to study history.
The Hollywood image of the movie business is all about ambition and high achievers like James Cameron. But the British film industry is much more about men who wear cravats and work with model trains and hope another series of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' will be commissioned.
Do you have any toy train schedules?
