I'll stick with my private collection of photo's of every BR station open at the time of Privatisation in 1994. Every station actually visited and set foot on, with a freight or pax service passing through, and self funded. Bit more historical me thinks.
Wow - now that is impressive.
--- this seems more to me like "look at me I've been to every station" which isn't particularly useful. Maybe I'm getting uncharitable in my advancing years, however I'm seeing this as not much more than attention-seeking self publicity.
I think you might just need to accept that there are occasionally things that you do not understand. I could look at your entire life and I doubt you could come up with an answer that satisfied me if I asked "What is the point?". However, I am not trying to pull you up on this point, am I?
Exactly - slightly OT but --- on July 25th 1976 I officially cleared my locos for the first time - every locomotive, heating unit etc in capital stock. It was on number 1 target point Swansea East dock by the way - 08663 allocated to Landore. I cleared them for the second time in 1978 - 08684 at Northampton for the record and the 3rd time 37043 at Scunthorpe. I got sick and tired of certain people not believing me and so I set out to photograph every single one. I came up 250 short before I said "Screw it - I know I have done it and that is all that matters" . People do what they want with their lives and hobbies.
So I say - "Well done and good luck to them and screw anyone else that does not understand". end of
