AHHHH the sound of an idling diesel !!!! To me it is like the silky touch of a loving woman. Just lay there and let the throb go through you. BLISSSSSSSS!!!!! <br />ok - reality check please...... <br />No, really, to me an idling diesel the size of the rail engine is one of life's gifts, and if you are like me, then you should thank your stars that you have them right under your workplace windows!!!! <br />I live on a small island and trains do not exist here. The only chance I have of seeing rail is when I'm in the UK. I have been shoooed off more platforms then I'd care to remember. I simply cannot resist an idling engine! Whenever I have the chance, I'd always go and stand as close to the engine as I can. Reactions vary from being invited into the cab - HEAVEN!!! - to being asked to please leave the platform or security will be alerted. I do not blame the people, I mean imagine seeing someone approaching an engine, only to stay on the yellow line and stare fixedly into the air filters/radiator intake/whatever when most sane people shun the engines because they are dirty, noisey but necessary beasts!!! <br />Wot i'm sayin' 'ere is yer's the lucky un, enjoy yer luck.
