Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Best childhood memory I have was going to the train station in the small town I grew up in, with my parents, and we would compete to see who can walk on the tracks longest. We would hear the rumble of the train from miles away and scamper off the tracks. My dad would put a coin on the track and I look forward to the squashed coin.
One of my close friend's dad used to work in the railway, and so they had they home (quarters) right next to the tracks and sometimes we go and play there.
My grand-dad was a retired railway inspector, and everyt ime we travel in trains, he would take me to the control room, chat with the people there while I watched all the lights showing where different nearby trains are. If he was in a good mood, he would chat with the engineer and let me go into the engine to look around.
These were the days you had to choose your seat wisely to avoid pieces of coal hitting into your eyes, while riding on the steam engine trains.
