I am really not interested in anything work related as i am retired and living in paradise, so I am into similar paradise things. Building to scale and fairthfully reproducing anything sounds like work to me and timetables are evn worse.I recal a few lines from an old poem. "The wander lust is on me and my heart is in Cathay." I have travelled a lot in the orient and am very interested in it, so why worry about the past, you can't change it and the present is much better than the past. New things to do with trains are happening all the time in this part of the world and in the orient and I want to do with what is happening now! I actually run one of the later Orient expresses namely French, Golden Mountain carriages pulled by a Germen Mallet locomotive all of about the late thirties era and many trains operating in the orient today are of that old a design so I'm not living in the past, just in someone elses present. I just cannot see the use of running any sort of goods train or the like, as the best runnings times are in the evening and passenger train all lit up with peolpe inside going about their lives is just great. Particularly when my Orient exoress pulls into a Thai Budhist temple complex or a Japanese Shinto temple area and then we can truly say that the Orient Express has reached the Orient. Just because they are closing down railroads in the USA doesn't mean they are not building them elsewhere. Here in Australia we have just opened a new railway line 3000 km long with longest north south straight stretch of line in the world. The basic train is about 3 Km long and takes three days to complete the journey. I think this is pretty fast I don't know how it compares to USA railroads maybe someone can enlighen me!
