I have to say that it was a stroke of luck. I ov course was born after steam had gone in 1968 and for many, so had their love of trains. Not me though. The family revolves around railways which is full of former employees and technical minds, which helped me gain an interest in how they actually work.
I feel that to be truly connected with a locomotive (steam or diesel) or a multiple unit, you must understand its anatomy, like a doctor understanding a patient. My interest lies with both steam and first generation diesels, but of course steam comes first, which is now even more enjoyable because of their fewer numbers. Do not worry though, i will not take a dim view of you if you prefer dieisel or electric as we basically all have the same interest, afterall they all run on rails.
