You'd never now it from this picture, but singer Rod Stewart built a very organized, highly detailed model train city in his Beverly Hills mansion
I was really fascinated with model train sets when I was a kid. My parents in Princeton NJ had a converted basement and on top of a pool table my father installed a thick piece of wood that allowed me and my brothers to go crazy with whatever hobby we desired or any school project we endeavored. But when I got older, space was a limitation in small Los Angeles apartments I rented so I really gave up the idea of a hobby that I needed a lot of space for-- trains.
So it was really surprising to find out that Rock Star Rod Stewart has a secret obsession that you won't read about in Architectural Digest: he loves trains.
Railroad aficionado, Rod Stewart would return to his hotel room on tour and dive into hours of painstaking model scratch-building and detail work.
