Congrats! Another lovely bit of recognition for friend of CMC @PeteWatermanOBE. This time for his contribution to music alongside Stock & Aitken as they receive a blue plague at their 'hit factory’. I guess it doesn’t ALWAYS have to be about trains 😂 news.sky.com/video/stock-ai…

Wishing @PeteWatermanOBE a very Happy Birthday from all of us at Chester Model Centre. Thank you for being such a fantastic advocate for hobby shops like ours and for model railways in general. 📸 2014 when Pete opened upstairs at Chester Model Centre. He hasn’t aged a day! ☺️
