Yes Chris...Railfans are some of the most interesting and crazy people I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. When I lived in California and I was a member of the NMRA and a local Model Railroad club, there was an event held once a year called "Winter Rail". The event was held in a Huge hall with a Flea Market, Model Contests, Displays and an All Day Slide Show with non stop images of Rail Roads and related topics from mostly, but not limited to the U.S. All year long these people would travel the country searching for RxR topics to photograph with their trusty 35mm cameras. Apologies to you Paul I didn't mean to steal your thread. Rick H.
