As you may be aware I am a member of New Railway Modellers Forum, and below are two posts from a thread on the forum: Model Railway TV Development Programme

The reason that I have posted this here will become apparent if you read this post.


Hello all,

My name is Rebecca and I am a Junior Researcher at Love Productions in London, the makers of “The Great British Bake Off”.

I am working on a new development about model railways and the construction of the longest model train track ever built - around 160 miles. This is a very exciting adventure project which we hope will start in Liverpool and end up in Goole.

We are eager to speak to all passionate model train enthusiasts and hope to gage their interest. We are keen to speak to people of all ages who are happy to share their love and knowledge for our fabulous new model train project. I am hoping that some of you might be interested or can put us in contact with potential enthusiastic contributors or even just help us to spread the word.

It would be great to chat to someone about this further and give some more information.

If you wish to, give me a call on 0207 067 4820 and ask for Rebecca or alternatively email me on rebecca.cray@loveproductions.co.uk
OR just reply to this thread and we can go from there.

Thank you.

Rebecca


Following a number of negative responses Rebecca posted this response.

Hi all,

Thank you all for your replies. I posted on this forum so I could gauge interest and learn from you all.

Our development team have thought about the issues you have all raised and are in the process of working with the canals and rivers trust to discuss the potential issues of our routes. We are exploring several different options and are investigating them in depth.

We have the support of the HRCA: Hornby Railway Collectors' Assocation with this ambitious venture and are keen to talk with anyone who is interested and enthusiastic about model railways.

Thank you again for your positive and negative replies they are a great help and I assure this is not a wind up.

Rebecca


I don't think it will affect the waterways but will restrictions on towpaths be on the cards?
