no such thing as a dead loco, it's just waiting for someone to come and love it back to on the rails

Take a look on You tube, I've been recording a lot of trains and have some rippers.

I've always wanted to sneek into a small country town with an disused track running through it like Wychepoorf in Victoria, and set a series of speakers down the main street and play the sound of a freight train going through at 3am and watch the lights come on, most of the oldies would'nt give it a second thought.

RR you are a fellow agent provocateur . As a young bloke back in the late 60's I owned a 1948 Wolsely, ripper of a car with a secret. I had a tram gong fitted to it.... Trams had been of the streets of Sydney for a few years but I could create absolute mayhem with that. Total absolute chaos.......

A few mates of mine own motorised fettlers trolleys that had been bought at Auction and uses them to explore disused railway lines with a chainsaw, bolt cutters and a roll of barbed wire. Highly illegal unless the railway has been de gatzetted but that dosen't happen often but the property owner thru whose property the railway run likewise have no legal entitlement to put fences across it either.
