Bob Symes to me is one of the most recognised characters of model railways,is TV series in the mid 70s was fantastic program to watch on a Saturday morning the models were captivating to a boy of seven years old.I dreamt about having a model railway one day just like the ones on his program,its taken nearly 30 odd years to achieve this thou,still every time I see him on YouTube I think back to those lost boyhood years of 1976.How the world has changed.

What a great character that Bob Symes is! TV needs more people like him instead of the plastic blow-up zero-personality jerkoid types we get these days.

That's is on hell of a brilliant garden railway just look at it a piece of history.

@silver760 I don't know about 80's. The last time I saw him on TV was during the mid 70's. One episode I recall was about radio control sail boats and another I recall was about miniature lead soldiers on some kind of realistic looking battle field. A guy was using an odd looking wooden stick similar to a golf club to strategically move them from one location to another. I was about 6 years old at that time. Bob's show infuenced me toward things in miniature, definitely steam trains.
