    To avoid giving the wrong impression, would you also be able to list what you do like about railway preservation? :)

    More seriously, and to start with, I enjoy sitting on a train being hauled by a steam locomotive. Then, from my own involvement in another area, seeing the work that people put into their passion. And when I see the pictures others with far more talent than me take, the art that goes into that.

    But I'll also be pedantic - when I talk about being "unstirred", it's not a suggestion of dislike - just a statement that these are aspects of the hobby that don't raise my pulse. If a gala is themed, it largely passes me by. No more, no less.

    Some videos of trains posted on here suffer from wind and/or road traffic noise, but are worth watching even so. Most have perfectly acceptable sound tracks with minimal extraneous noise. You can delete the original sound and replace it by music which is entirely unrelated if you like, but I won't watch the result.
