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.
