I love when I find things out about rock stars that I wouldn't expect, and this story about Rod Stewart takes the cake.  You might not believe what Rod does while on tour.

Rod Stewart builds model trains backstage when he's on tour. While some rock stars indulge in hedonistic pursuits such as drinking, drug-taking and casual sex when they come offstage, the Scottish singer requests a large table in his dressing room so he can indulge his hobby of building scale models of railways.

Rod, 66, also makes sure he always has a fan on hand so the fumes from the glue don't affect his voice and he never drinks before he begins a building session. He told Model Railroader magazine, "I can't build after a couple of glasses of wine - the results are never good."
