I've had a fascination with trains all my life, which I inherited from my father, a model railroad enthusiast.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to visit the UK to ride the rails.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587126871623824329.post-40610687906279269612008-08-17T14:15:00.000+01:002008-08-17T14:15:00.000+01:00Thanks, Ian, for the advice and link and thanks, K...Thanks, Ian, for the advice and link and thanks, Kate, for your comment.

A bit like the pit ponies when they came up out of the mines!<BR/>For many years I lived at the top of the highest hill in Brighton, and people always said "on a clear day you can see the Isle of Wight.

But in all those years of living on the South Coast I never once went to "The Island" as an IoW-dwelling friend always called it, although I did go to Portsmouth once or twice.
