So, instead of telling her, he kept the massive structure hidden in the basement of a building he told his girlfriend he had rented to store wine in.
She came down to the cellar one day and said: 'Where's all the wine?' I told her the truth and she was like 'OK.' But she has an art degree so she appreciated the level of detail and work that went into it. We're now engaged."
According to George, he spent eight years building the 200-foot-long model, which recreates a 1.5-mile-long stretch of real train tracks located in West Yorkshire. The model recreates the look of the area as it existed in the '80s.
George spent over $330,000 to bring the model to life.
and when a guy has a warehouse full of wine, and a third of a million dollars to spend on a hobby, his girlfriend simply gets married to him. After all, she's got the run of the house, wine stock, and he's busy staying out of trouble with trains.
It looks as if his fiancee has a Win-Win deal. I hope that he is also a good lover.
