On a totally random and non related topic, here's some pictures of random trains that I took when I was in Italy back in June. I had intended to get more but well you know what its like when you're travelling with suitcases etc... between towns on your schedule. The reason I looked them out was because I did travel on a train that looks pretty much similar to the one Chris posted a picture of. Except of course it was far more colourful in livery terms, the reason I mentioned it and went looking for pictures of it (unfortunately I have none) is because it had the same centre motor unit and it was a 'hybrid', diesel/electric/battery train...
Happily collecting things all my life...
