So You want your own model train set

Of course many of us have had our train set in childhood. I myself had a Marklin and enjoyed it until 11 or 12. After that, of course the usual suspects started to become more important in life and that many years later my interests sounded more like ‘girls, booze and parties’ than Marklin could phonetically be twisted.

Still, their are enough of nerds out there who have given hope to get laid up and try to spend their time positively. Constructively. Cancer? Screw dat, let’s build a model train set.

First you’ll need something like this.

You’ll also need some sheep

and sunflowers.

Cars and lights.

Your own Live8 concert or was it Robbie Williams?

How about some trains though?

But most of all, you’ll need a really big location for your train set.

For numbers and more pictures head over to the Telegraph but let me tell you 700 trains, more than 10.000 carriages, expected to be finished in 2014, fourteen years and 13 miles of railroad track after starting the project. The largest trains is 47ft.

Ok, ok… I’m slow with this one and could have posted it before everyone had already seen it but hey… boy’s gotta do what they have to do or?

Or something like that or watch the newest Big Bang Theory episode. Gosh, I am more and more starting to like Penny. Perfect typecasting.

Anyway. So yeah. Ric Turner just did it. No he wasn’t being a Tiger! In the Northern American craze and hype of over-decorating your houe for the festive period, he gave it a spin. Holiday lightning around the house? Sure, why not he thought, but at least be original.

What did he come up with?

The Guitar Hero House.

And the thing is fully functional. I want to see a video of the whole street playing Rock Band!

Nerd of the Week without doubt.

I hate to admit having discussed a similar concept with gamers years ago but am proud to tell you that none of them actually build a computer chair like this one. But things couldn’t last and someone had to do it at some point. This point apparently. Meet our Nerd of The Week [NotW].

Nerd plays Rock Band on his own, needs to get laid but plays the wrong instruments

Guy plays all four Rock Band instruments on his own at the same time.
