There's
something about the sound of a
train that's very romantic and
nostalgic and hopeful. |
| A. A.
Milne |
Nowhere
can I think so happily as in a
train. |

Christie |
To
travel by train is to see nature
and human beings, towns and
churches and rivers, in fact, to
see life/ |
| Cassandra
Wilson |
There
was a train that would come by
our house every night, and I'd
hear the whistle blow. That is
the sweetest memory I have. |

Railways
are irresistible bazaars, snaking
along perfectly level no matter
what the landscape improving your
mood with speed, and never
upsetting your drink. |

Morecambe |
I can
never think of the time I spend
idling in railway stations as
lost. |

I'm
proud to be a railway modeler. It
means more to me to be on the
cover of Model Railroader than to
be on the cover of a music
magazine. |

Armstrong |
All
model railway scales cost the
same amount - all you can afford. |

termini are our gates to the
glorious and the unknown. |

isn't a train I wouldn't take, no
matter where it's going. |

There
are so many different reasons as
to why I love riding trains. But
I think ultimately it's the
romantic feeling of it. There's
something about it that just
transports me into old films. |

Betjeman |
People's
backyards are much more
interesting than their front
gardens, and houses that back on
to railways are public
benefactors. |

Winston Link |
The
smoke and the fire and the speed,
the action and the sound, and
everything that goes together,
the steam engine is the most
beautiful machine that we ever
made, there's just nothing like
it. |
| George
Dow |
The
best way to see a country is from
the footplate of a locomotive. |
| Arthur
Honegger |
I
have always loved locomotives
passionately. For me they are
living creatures and I love them
as others love women or horses. |
| Michael
Bond |
Every
small boy wanted to be a steam
engine driver when they grew up
in the old days, including me.
There's something very special
about them - the noise, the
smell, the steam coming out
everywhere. |
