I never really had a great interest in railways when I was young although the Glasgow Underground always fascinated me and I had a lifelong ambition fulfilled a couple of years ago when I got to ride in the drivers cab round the outer circle. While this may not be the most adventurous trip ever it was for me 15 minutes of pleasure.
As the years passed my interest in railways became greater and I suppose stemming from being an engineer the long straight rail lines and the uniformity of it all drew me to the wonder of it all.
