This will, I suspect, backfire rather spectacularly. Not only due to the PR aspect, but also I suspect that newbie modellers will avoid the UP due to the increased costs. <br /> <br />As far as the stories of railfans being hassled are concerned, these are worrying. There seems to be increasing paranoia amongst official bodies which is slowly eroding the rights and freedoms that we should enjoy. It's not that bad over here in the UK yet - though the editor of Model Rail magazine was "moved on" by a security guard for photographing a rail yard near an airport last year. Hopefully not an indication of things to come. <br /> <br />I'm amazed that nobody seems to have considered that railfans are ideally placed to report suspicious activity and could become a very useful counter-terror tool. Think about it. Railfans know their local area well, know the usual traffic flows, etc, and will notice anything out of the ordinary.
