Pete Waterman – A track record inspired by the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral

Songwriter, record producer and publisher, Pete Waterman is also an avid train enthusiast, sharing an interest in model railways with Jools Holland and Rod Stewart. Before a career in music Pete worked for BR, but it was watching the rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral following the war that sparked his love of model railway building. Today he holds the world record for the biggest mobile model railway display, 999.90 metres of track that depict the West Coast Main Line between Rugby and Watford Junction.  Pete is president of the Railway Benefit Fund, one of Railway 200’s charities.
