If you like me missed the 9.30 start this morning, it appears to be repeated at 4.15am tomorrow morning - Sky+/V+/DVD recorder at the ready!

PS: you didn't clarify that it's shown on the Discovery Real Time Channel (and again an hour later on Discovery Real Time + 1)

I actually think it's a re-re-re-run. I've seen the series a few times.

One I miss (seeing again and again) is Model Town. At least it was vaguely funny.

I enjoyed model town, it featured some great layouts.

 

[FUNGUS]

I too enjoyed model town, the "plot" gave it another dimension and was full of tips and tricks. I really liked the secret underground tin reactor!

I've done a search on Simon Farmer but not much comes up.

 

[Brian Considine]

I have seen it before, but it's well worth watching anyway.

 

[frame69]

Anything on our mediocre television network about railways is worth watching,and I must say its getting more frequent!

Tomorrow on sky history channel at 9pm a series called Extreme Trains is starting for anyone who may be interested.
