Started with numbers then realised trainspotting is boring when you haven't got a camera, so ditched the numbers all together.
If people ask what I'm into I let them know, I don't wear a badge or anything.
Had banter about it all my life really (I didn't really help myself when I was younger
), guess a lot of it came over as bullying when I was younger but guess who they come to when they need train tickets
"Matt, what times are the trains to Leeds?" At that point I have to let them know I'm not
that into it
Recently I've got more involved with maintaining a locomotive, so people are a little more interested that I work on something so different to cars or trucks or tractors in one case.
Don't really involve other people with it though, it's 'my thing'. Though I took my ex to the MNR Gala a couple of years ago (thats not why she's an ex :P) and she said she enjoyed the scenery. Top marks for her for that, I enjoyed the 50s more though!
