Well, I suppose my love of trains came from Thomas & Friends. In one of my live-streams(can't remember the number for the sake of my sanity!) I answered a question as to how I got into Thomas and Friends -- through Shining Time Station, my love of Thomas & Friends led me to exploring the real-life engines that the characters from the show are based on. I suppose I'm guilty of being an Anglophile for the railways' engines and rolling stock, but that love also led me to enjoy a variety of engines around the world; guilty that the Union Pacific Big Boys were one steam engine that I loved without hesitation, probably because of the sheer size of them, my love has slowly expanded into learning just about anything and everything about railways and/or railroads around the world, locomotives from every country and region, rolling stock, and collecting some for my collection.
Residential train-afficionado in training, and Thomas & Friends fan.
