Well, we do have several  members in our number 
who are Railway scholars, notably Richard  Knoppow.

British railway enthusiasts seem far worse than 
do their  USian counterparts.  These guys have 
been known to engage in  fisticuffs over 
time-table discrepancies.  But, then, it is a  
common saying in the UK that there are only two 
hobbies for boys of  whatever age, railways and 
battleships and since the UK no longer has  
battleships, that leaves only  trains.
