It may be an interesting ans well made layout, but did he build it or have it built? Whatever, he should be tied down and given a hair cut and a pair of non-leather pants, then forced to listen to Wake Up Maggie until his ears bleed. In other words, his music is more show than art and it sucks. He's just the Brit Wayne Newton.
But if one dim-witted Austrailian knows about them they are not only famous but, are accepted as model railroaders without any proof or justification. Interesting set of criteria.

According to the article he has done most of the structures. He left the rework of the electrical system to others, not clear who did the original electrical work.

Could be worse - we've got a dimwitted Austrian as our governator. Or rather gropinator.
That's a big ask from Newton.

Ah, then you're simply jealous. That explains a LOT.

So clearly Mark Newton is famous.
Good one!
ROTFL
I am wondering if all of the people listed are model railroaders.
What the heck is your point?
You're dreaming again - I offered *no* definition of famous whatsoever.
I love it when you talk dirty...
That's a remarkably stupid comment, even for a f****it like you.
(that)"Rod Stewart has a layout has no discernable effect on me or my enjoyment of the hobby"...
That's not jealousy, that's utter indifference.
You're utterly wrong, it's not my criteria. The points I was making were that I *didn't* regard most of the people on the list as famous, and that there had been *no* evidence offered to confirm they were modellers. I don't accept any of them as modellers, which is why I asked for some proof.
Really? If not, why this post? Methinks thou doth protest too much.
Of course. Everyone can read your bleating indifference right here. Any more of your chest thumping and you won't have a friend left.
Perhaps if you enjoyed your hobby in silence?
-- Ray
To rebut yours - why else?
Gee, a whole one post. That's protesting too much?
He models in a different scale to me, and models a country, a prototype and an era that I'm not interested in. His style of layout is not one that appeals to me. What should I be jealous about?
Now you're going to play Netkop?
I've always wondered why you post on a model railroading group - you don't appear to post anything on topic.
Same thing, different country.
??? What utter bullshit.
What would you prefer I do, feel sorry for the poor stupid bastards?
I know what you wrote - very coy.
Yes.
How so? Show me a demand somewhere in my post, Mark. I'll wait while you look.
So far, I've defended this list of modelers from your destructive nonsense at least a dozen times. That's decidedly on topic while your savaging of the list is the opposite. Grow up, laddie.
-- Ray
You make it sound as though you're defending the faith. You're a legend!
*Savaging*? Don't carry on like a big girl's blouse, Haddad. I've made two valid observations about the stupid bloody list. If you think that's savaging it, then you should audition for role of Priscilla.
Yes. of course. And your apparent need to consider yourself superior to these poor stupid bastards indicates an appallling lack of common humanity.
No, you don't know what I wrote. "Shirty" is slang, as it happens. I'll leave it for you to figure out what part of the English speaking world, and what era it belongs to.
That no doubt accounts for your contempt for all those poor bastards who are normal human beings, then.
Ever hear the term "catty"? And know in what contexts it's applied?
