Softly softyly, catchee monkey! I'd say the type of ladies you describe are the better sort to accept someone with interests as they tend to be less shallow and satisfied with mainstream pap culture.

I may even be in the market for a similar lady myself in a few years when I get out of this line of work and regain some semblance of a social life after two decades!

Well said. Absolutely agree.

This has just made my evening, and caused me to lose a coupling spring to the carpet gods!

I bet Fiona has a superb vintage monocle you could borrow!

I think the gentle approach and a bit later down the line (tonights top pun!) is by far the best way. Too much badness associated with hobbies involving railways! Never kept it a secret but just minor comments and sign of interest in things 'railway' are the best way Ive got round to things but only after some time. Ive noticed that girls who are generally arty, perhaps a bit retro, chic and curious about antiques and bygone days (a bit hippy too perhaps) are the ones who have more of an understanding of the hobby. As Fiona Bruce used to be on Antiques Roadshow. I bet she likes Hornby Dublo and Triang. Good luck with it anyway. Whats right will come right!
