@autismtalknd Spending a lot of time and energy trying to get everyone to use the same terminology, rather than respect people's preferences.

@TurnipRail As well as smaller homes, there is no where for younger people to get involved. Model railway clubs meet late on weekday evenings, so become old men's clubs. If you want the hobby to develop, you need to bring in the younger generations.

🚂 We're back in #Streatham this weekend...with cheaper tickets!
You'll notice that our tickets are cheaper for all our sessions. We now use TicketTailor - the booking page looks a bit different, but it's the same play session run by the same people.

@gawuffy Trying "Class 55 locomotive" in Canva gives me this monstrousity. Someone suggest a better AI generator PLEASE ...

@PookyH ... which proves that people prefer different things, and there's no right/wrong answer despite attempts made by some groups and "spokespeople".

[Richard Semmens @richardsw16]

@DriverPotter Acquiring, yes. Preserving? Maybe, but that depends on ongoing funding, a suitable home and enthusiastic people. This is where a number of multiple unit campaigns have fallen down.

@goldylookfleece I can relate to these. Looking healthy and vigorous above the surface but actually just knarled and twisted underneath.

[Richard Semmens @richardsw16]

@goldylookfleece Don't you have a telepathic takeaway in your area?! Mine does deliveries - every ten minutes.

[Richard Semmens @richardsw16]

@autismtalknd No. "How can it be solved?" By not starting social media discussions about something which doesn't really exist - but people then believe may be a "thing" and worry about it.

[Richard Semmens @richardsw16]

@JoanneMCrompton It's sickening to see comments on other enthusiast forums, referring to @Joanne as a "girl" & that, with no reports of other volunteers leaving the ELR, she must have contributed to the problem herself! Such misogynistic comments don't look good for the heritage railway industry.

🚂 Our #Lewisham #train play sessions for #autistc, #ADHD & #SEND children are so popular, we'll now be running *two* sessions @lochaberhall. Each session will have fewer children, to keep things as calm & quiet as possible.

🚂 Our #Weybridge #train play sessions for #autistc, #ADHD & #SEND children are so popular, we'll now be running *two* sessions during the afternoon. Each session will have just 10 children, to keep things as calm & quiet as possible.
