Rail fans are among us... my Father is a literal trainspotter... he's got
decades worth of photographs of them... these days he goes out into the
field and does recordings with a portable Mini-Disc recorder and uses
ProTools to edit these and produces small runs of CD-R's of his train
recordings.

Man that's the most logical and quite frankly most beautiful answer!
Makes me want to leave everything behind and live my life doing that.
Except i'm not sure if trains today would give the same romantic reward
that old steam locomotives do.. well (..maybe a possible time travel
destination)..then being a bit of a trainspotter myself i have to admit
that there are too many 'locomotives' around to spot and...blah blah blah
thanks.r.
