Rail

If I wanted to acquire my own collection of standard gauge railroad equipment, where would be the very best place to start?

Is it possible to commute from Luton to Clapham Common tube monday and friday? If I wanted to get to work around 730-800 am say? Also how much would it cost on a monthly basis I suppose an oyster all zones would be the best option for the London bit. I'm not too sure of how the tickets work a season ticket would be the most logical I guess.
Hopefully someone does this journey on answers.

Thanks very much,

Me

In some ways I'm surprised that the steam era lasted as long as it did. Why were the first diesels confined to the yards? The diesels are so easier maintenance wise.....

All my experience has been with four-stroke MLW's, so we just check the fluids, cut in the batteries and fire them up. I remember watching someone start a GP18, and there were hand-tightened test cocks that you had to open up for priming. My guess is they kept compression from building in the cylinders. Anyway, I recently checked out a GP35 manual and found no mention of them in the starting process. What's the story here?

I was wondering if there was a train vs car
accident
does the engineer still have to show his drivers
license to the other driver? (if the other driver survived that is!)

Why is it my train runs more or less on time every day except when I have an appointment? When I'm trying to be somewhere at a specific time they're always late. How do they know?

Also as an additional, what actually is a "points failure" as that almost always seems to be responsible? Is it a genuine excuse or do they just say that whenever they run a bit late.

did you know him/it that in Swiss he is building the longer railway gallery to the world?
it is long 57 Km. = 35,41 miles against the old gallery of 15 Km. = 9,32 miles. It is a very ambitious project and around to the center of the gallery there will be a railway station with a lift that will climb for 800 ms. = 2624 feet up to reach the surface of the alpis where a ski footstep there will be!!!

There are here in dance 3 world records:

1° the longest gallery of the world
2° the railway station to greater depth
3° the lift with greater journey of route

the all with the cost of 30'000'000'000 of FrS. against the 9'000'000'000 that you/they had been esteemed.

the Japanese tourists will be happy to photograph!

How was the route for the transcontinental railroad chosen? Was it the shortest route, the cheapest route, the easiest route, or what?

If I book a railway ticket of central railway and get a confirmed seat, how will I know where my coach will come? I know I may sound stupid but since I have not travelled much in trains need to know how does one determine the place where ones coach will come, as some of the times the charts on platforms are missing & there is no one on platforms ready to help.

I'm not so sure that I've seen US railfans taking down notes this way? Also I really doubt that the female in the film is actually a railfan, she's likely a film student playing the part. What do you think of the part where they ask strangers what a trainspotter is? Would that be true for American railfans?

I was travelling in England a few years back, and waiting for a train at Darlington Railway Station (and I might have got this wrong, but I think it's the world's oldest railway station). I was intrigued to see that the toilet still has a chain flush. I've never come across this before, has anyone else? I hope they don't change it.
