I never knew that Johnny Cash or any of those people for that matter had a model train layout... Thanks for posting!
I was just doing a bit of surfing and must have found at least 20 more people of interest. Our hobby truly is the Great American Hobby.

Enjoy it to the fullest.

So you recognize the last name in the famous people, huh? lol

I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

Gary Coleman -- into O-gauge. ("Currently I'm doing Lionel trains. His layout has been in Scale Modeler, I'm doing them as proto-typically as possible, even though they are toy trains. I still like to do it as realistically as possible."-- From an online interview at ABC News

Also, reportedly an N-Scale modeller. (Marc))
