ROD STEWART LOVES MODEL RAILROADING- He has fulfilled a lifelong ambition by appearing on the front cover of a model railroad magazine. Railroad hobby experts said he has created one of the best train sets they have ever seen. Rod spent 12 years making his special railroad, which measures 124 feet by 23 feet. He spent thousands of hours -- and dollars -- putting it together before sending pictures in to the model railroading magazine. When Rod sent in photos of his train set to Model Railroader, they decided to put it on the front cover. In an interview inside the magazine, Rod says, "It means more to me to be on the cover of Model Railroader than to be on the cover of a music magazine."
