Rock legend Rod Stewart on recording some oldies-but-goodies

It's a rare and beautiful thing when two passions, shared by two people, come together so happily, and when the results produce two kinds of fun. Take Rod Stewart, rock star legend and model train enthusiast; and Jools Holland, big-band leader and model train enthusiast. It turns out Stewart called Holland a while back to talk trains, and maybe arrange a playdate.

"We were very aware of each other's love of model railroads," said Stewart. "When we meet up with each other to talk about music, it's always, trains first. So, what's happening with your layout? I'm building this… And then we get down to the music."

It also turned out that when they finally got to the music, they were, yes, on the same track.
