Rod Stewart went to extraordinary lengths bringing model train collection to UK Rod Stewart went to incredible lengths to keep his model train set in one piece when it moved from the US to England - hiring giant shipping containers and setting up an entire wood workshop in California for the job.
The set is a 1:87 scale North American model and has a main running line totalling in excess of 900 feet and "thousands of small details and figures filling every square foot of baseboard".
The singer showed off his incredible scale model railway layout last week known as "Grand Street & Three Rivers Railroad" in his country home in England.
Based on the grid location identification, these elements were securely packed for safe shipment by Rocket Cargo, the company that handles the logistics for Sir Rod’s concerts.
The footprint of the layout is currently 62ft x 27ft but the track goes around the layout four times before it returns to its starting point.
