      Good stuff, Tim. For me, another 'obligatory' railway-related TV programme was 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens, starring Denholm Elliot

    Spent today at a motor bike show. The majority of people I saw were my age, like the age profile at Model Railway exhibitions. Conclusion? Only middle aged people can be bothered to go to shows.
