A slightly longer chain and it would be a de rigueur fashion accessory for every train buff 'medallion man'.

If that thang is brass, it's hardly 'The lighter side' is it?

... for decades, the sight of the GWR (Great Western Railway) Class 43 HST (High Speed Train) pulling into a station has meant one thing: the joy of coming together for Christmas ...

Amazing how iconic the HST has become - and not just at Christmas.   In fact my memories are much more of HSTs on work / business trips which paused over Christmas, and leisure trips in fine weather.

Come to think of it - IS Christmas a joy for you?  I suspect there's a poll in that so you can say honestly and anonymously

I'll move it to "The Lighter Side" and merge it when I get a chance - busy Sunday today.  Though "the lighter side" it has been noted is not the best place for this quite heavy lump!

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
