I was just wondering, are there any train fans around here that play the game Trainz 12 (Or any other game in the series), or know something about trains? I'm not a train expert, but I do know a trivial amount about trains.

Trains was my first special interest, coming right before my current one (space travel). I know a fair bit about trains and I still think that they are awesome, but I think that space ships are much cooler so I tend to get a lot of space games and I don't have any train games.

I have never played Trainz or anything like that, but I like trains a lot.
There is a lot of railroading where I live and I love watching trains go by.
I love hearing train horns off in the distance late at night.

Would you believe there's a movie coming out about a man with Asperger's who's so fascinated with trains he "steals" them? It's called "Train Man" and will star Julia Roberts.

Oh, hey - THAT will paint us in a good light... :x

(please, please, please don't let the PR agency for the movie get a call from Autism Speaks wanting to do co-marketing...)
