          I can't stand the motorcaders who never buy a ticket for these trips or
          do some sort of volunteer labour for the societies. They get the
          benefits of seeing steam locomotives and historic rolling stock in
          action but they contribute very little to the societies who maintain
          them. Although I motorcade some trains, I also book on quite a few.

          I agree, our V set is much better than those Yankee tin cans :-) <runs
          for cover fast>
