Lol, kinda reminds me of a story my Dad told me of a bloke who had a suped up Mini with a massive amount of hi-voltage lights on the front. A mate of this bloke came round and sat in the passenger seat of the car. "Is this the light switch then?" he asked about to flick the switch "Nonono don't flic...

Favourite locomotive is 86250, formerly the Glasgow Herald, mainly because one time I travelled behind 86250 from Ipswich to London Liverpool Street and then a couple of days later did the reverse journey behind the same loco.

But there would be numerous obstacles to overcome The Saxmundham to Aldeburgh branch, opened in the 1860s but was axed in the beeching cuts in the 1960s.

MTS2?
Well, dynamic weather certainly, with optional Thunderstorms.
The ability to use MTS1 trains in MTS2 so every train doesn't have to be rebuilt from scratch.
