Inspired by Billy87 's thread on buses. I've heard before that people with autism are fascinated by trains, I sure am! I have a good collection of model trains, train books, old postcards and photos mostly taken by me but some I bought myself.
My fave train is the steam engine! I love their look and style, and am fascinated by their history.
And my all time fave is the First Great Western that my Gramps drove.
He worked on the rails most of his life, for well over fifty years my Gran said. He started of as a cleaner, cleaning the trains and then went on to learn and become a driver. He'd still be doing it now if he were still alive but sadly lung cancer took him when I was 6.
If I ever conquer my anxiety and depression then I'll try to become a train driver as well.
