Personal GalleryDiscuss Evan the Cold Warrior in the OFF-Topic / Misc. forums; I was just going through the thread again, and saw that you said you're a rail fan too Evan. ...
No, I have not heard of that one. There are a couple of cool railway museums around town that I have been to. There is another near our new home that we plan on taking my son to in September. They have various theme occasions. He is going to the "Little engine that could" themed event in September. They also do a Thomas the Tank engine one too.
I love the old steamers. I had a model railroad setup as a kid and I loved it.

That's cool - my own father is hugely into steam locos, and those pics of Brandon station took me right back to all the stations and preserved lines that we went to in the Fens.
The Nene Valley is just outside Peterborough - some of the Bond film Octopussy (crap film - great shots of the railway) was shot there.

If you like model steam locos theres a live steam model club on the Island and every now and then they have open days on their half mile of 4 & 6inch track i'll get some pics for you, they are superb models.
A lot of the guys at work do weekends for presevation societys its a bit too much of a busmans holiday for my liking though.

My wifes uncle has a huge model railway thing set up in his basement. It even has tunnels and everthing with stops inside the tunnels and he uses video camaras installed inside to run them and stuff it is crazy but very well built.

Hey, there's always going to be pricks in every nation. I couldn't say ALL Americans are okay, that'd be a lie.

True, good point. I have met dickheads in a lot of different countries. Some had more dickheads than others though. And we have our share of them here.
