Oh no, not this thread again (:

A brief insight. Formally, a gunzel used to be used as a derogatory term 
for a rail enthusiast, used by rail employees. Used as in such context as 
"Bloody gunzels!" or "Cop this ya bloody gunzel" as you moon them driving 
your train past (true story, aparently). These days, gunzel is not so 
derogatory, often with people calling themselves a gunzel, or purchasing 
domain names like gunzel.net (geez, wonder who).
