My interest in model rail systems ensured a significant
interest in full size rail, in particular German Railways due to my appreciation
of the German Marklin Model Railway Systems. So far the only full size rail systems
I have spent considerable time studying are those of the Isle of Man,
surprisingly varied and of course the opportunity to study their railway systems is
due to my many visits to the Island for the annual Tourist Trophy Motorcycle
Races.
