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 (Inter City class 43 125 units)) 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, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.
