It turns out that Penny Lancaster is not the only model that Rod Stewart is crazy about.  Stewart apparently is such a model railroad fanatic that he insists on a backstage platform large enough for him to lay parts out on so he can assemble train cars and engines.  Rod tells Model Railroader magazine that drinking before small-scale building is no more advisable than drinking before engineering the real thing down the tracks would be, saying, 'I can't build after a couple of glasses of wine - the results are never good.'  A nearly 1,500 square foot model railroad layout occupies the third floor of the Beverly Hills home he, Lancaster and their soon-to-be born child live in.  Trains are a passion Neil Young also has.  Young once owned a significant chunk of the Lionel Train company.
