This is so funny!

In Britain a man was so worried that his new girlfriend might dump him if she found out he was in the process of building the biggest model railway in the country, so he tried to hide it in the basement of a building he told his girlfriend he had rented to store wine in.

Simon George said 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.

"I met Marie about two years ago and when we started dating, I led her to believe I was a wine merchant," he told SWNS. "It sounded sexier than saying I was building a model railway, which usually sends women running. 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."

George spent over $330,000 to bring the model to life. It’s currently being displayed at a local market hall until December 21.
