stewartingram Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've actually had this on my CV under other interests, for many years. Was picked up on it during an interview, then it was positively commented on due to the range of activities covered by it. (Geographical knowledge, study of engineering, management of resources etc etc, not forgetting the skills need in many forms for modelling). Not that I really have need for a CV now at 67, and just waiting for the right time to retire! Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I know no Latin, and I suspect that 'logos' is actually Greek, but remember reading somewhere that the word actually translates to " the study of horse irons", rather than "iron horses". It's been around since at least the 1960s, and there was an earlier term, used before WW1, "railwayac". Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
