Sir David Jason has built a model railway in his garden.

The 'Only Fools And Horses' star is delighted with his work after putting together a model of a steam train and a track to run it on.
Speaking to the 'Positivity' podcast, he said: "A real steam engine, which is about six feet long. Then of course I had to build a track around my garden, which I did – I’ve got a big garden.
“The most exciting thing was once I’ve built it, then I had to fire it up. It’s the journey, not the destination.
"You fill it up with water and you are thinking ‘Did I do that bolt up right?’, ‘Is that washer going to fit that?’ ”
The 80-year-old actor admitted he was worried the train would "blow up", but he loves the thrill the uncertainty brings.
He added: "'Is it going to blow up?' You go through all of that but I love the challenge and put myself under pressure."
Classic sitcom 'Only Fools' is still hugely popular today, and Sir Jason - who played Del-Boy in the show - admitted a fan once called out the late Roger Lloyd-Pack's catchphrase when he spotted the Trigger actor in a blizzard.
In his book 'A Del of a Life', he revealed: "'Alright, Dave?' The great Roger Lloyd-Pack used to hear that line coming back at him constantly, in the obscurest places - including from a stranger walking the other way in the middle of a raging blizzard in Iceland, late at night, when Roger had his hood up.
"'Alright, Dave', said this Icelandic stranger as he passed and headed on into the night."
