PatB Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) My own livery preference is something that can be applied from a cheap rattlecan and requires no elaborate lining so it's unlined black for me, not because I'm a bloke but because I'm rubbish at painting things.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2019 I seem to remember her describing herself as the only girl who'd ever left the Appalachian Mountains and taken two of them with her. Not into Country especially, but I've got a lot of time for Dolly, straight up no side tell it like it is woman with a wonderfully self deprecating sense of humour. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see her philanthropic provision of books to children to be hugely positive. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 In my experience there are a reasonable number of women, of a reasonable age range too, interested in railways (as a trip on the Talyllyn in the Summer ought to indicate to anyone - On at least one day in August I think they had a staff composed of more ladies than men) just nothing like as many men. And I can't really see that changing, as quite frankly it does seem to be an pursuit that is of greater interest to men. I like to think, however, that numbers are gradually rising and that perhaps as time goes on things may get a bit closer to an even split, though as I say this is doubtful. Something I have noticed, taking layouts to places where one wouldn't normally take a layout, is that those who have laughed at my hobby previously, male and female, begin to appreciate it more when they see the half-decent result of it. Just an observation. Another, encouraging, thing that I noticed came a few months back when exhibiting my layout Odiham at a school during school hours. We had several year groups come and have a look, and almost universally we had the following outcome - The groups of young lads would come, laugh and make allusions to Thomas the Tank Engine and would be the ones to ask stupid questions. Some of them really did take the p*ss good and proper. The girls, however, actually seemed quite interested in the layout, and not just in the scenic or 'more feminine' side either. They asked the more serious questions, and I think that one of them subsequently joined the local model railway club (though I can't be sure of this as I don't see much of the junior section these days). Certainly a few seemed interested in joining the club, at any rate. Now, I am unsure of the motivations that may have been at play there, or whether girls are simply better at disguising a lack of interest behind intelligent questions (it's entirely possible, but I hope that wasn't the case) than boys are behind cheap jibes and jokes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
