The ones I hate are the experts in everything type, even if they are wrong. We had a group being shown the inside of a diesel loco at the NRM one year, when this gunzel among them starts telling every one in the loco what all the parts are, we just let him go, as some he did get right. But when we got to the cab again he really hammed it up and spewed nothing but bullshit everywhere.
So after his discourse in the cab I ask a simple question that I think any gunzel would know, the question was " What is this little button next to the window for and why is it so important"?
His answer floored me, he said it was an emergency air brake valve. Well he was sort of right, I then told him it is called a vigilance button and has to be pressed every so often to make sure that at least one of the crew is either awake or alive. I then went on to explain in laymans terms what happens!
He said to me after that I made him look like an idiot, I just said to him you do not need my help in that department!

I think I was there for that encounter, although I may be wrong. Most certainly wouldn't have the first time some moron has tried to increase the size of his dick by showing everyone else his amazing knowledge of nothing at all.

Agreed on alot of points, I dunno why people think that because they have a camera (and possibly a vest on) that drivers of trains, buses or cars can see you, or will stop on a 20 cent piece for you when you decide to dart out in front of them. I see it on the bus side of things alot, I haven't really been on a train tour to comment on that side of things. Although some dribbling model collector seemed to wanna have a go coz the buses we ran for the Hurstville show "weren't old enough" made me think twice about making my vehicle available next year
Another thing, why do some choose to whinge about the price of a rail tour, then decide to go chase the bloody thing and probably spend the same if not more on fuel chasing??? Again choosing to post pic after pic on a certain site and somehow pretend that they didn't bag the shit out of the tour/operator/etc a few weeks prior....
It seems the more I get involved, the more I see gunzels are just looking out for number 1 - if you help em out they love you, if you can't, then they turn

Strangely enough, I gave the vest wearing idiots a spray on a mate's Disgracebook group.
It was sort of weird in a way; because the conversation wasn't all that intellegent and for some reason I thought it should be...So I took matters into my own hand's and donned the "creative" writing hat and banged up a post within about five minutes. I thought it might be of interest here, as this seems the right place to put it. My only word of warning is it is a bit on the looong side...
| On Disgracebook I wrote: |
Speaking of the Albury tour, I noticed as well the amount of non-railworkers or off-duty rail workers wearing vests, and entering rail yards as if the vest or their employment made it their right to be there...I thought this was frowned upon by employers? But I degress.
If they were part of the service or train crew, and not just a bunch of gunzels posing and giving the impression they're involved in some capacity, then fair enough. If anyone visits a commercial railyard vests are a requirement, and this is also fair enough.
I have a theory or two about the lineside gunzel vest wearers (besides the obvious). For the most part, my theory of vest wearers is based on a theory by Sigmund Freud.
Basically Freud came up with a theory which is most commonly referred to as "Penis Envy". For the most part the theory was based on pubescent girls; but there is also the male component to the theory as well, which is what I am referring to (cite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_envy - you will have to scroll down a bit). It's a bit obvious from the title of the theory what it's all about. If you are smart, you should have worked out where I am heading with this straight away...
For those a little behind the eight-ball...
Substitute what a big dick means to those who think they are lacking, with a high-vis vest.
Basically a vest means power, dominance and masculinity to these arse-wipes, as they play out their big fantasy of being some sort of rail official. Think about their attitude: they're obnoxious; arrogant and think they have a God-given right to be where they shouldn't be - which itself is another can of worms altogether. There is a common 3 metre rule with regards to spectators of trains - that is, 3 metres AWAY from the running line. The problem then arises that you now have "He-Man" trying to prove how big he is by positioning himself a mere 4 feet from the running line, all because he now has his invincibility cloke on...
With regards to off-duty railworkers, they should know better as they are off-duty, and are the same as any other civilian who is lineside. There is one exception to the rule; and this is where the off-duty worker is trying to do the right thing. This type of off-duty railworker however, are few and far between. They are fairly easy to pick as they will still obey rail safety laws as if they were the average civvy, and keep 3 metres away from the running line and make sure others do the same - all they need to do is lose the vest. The other type of off-duty railworker adopts the "Do as I say and not as I do" approach - the average vest wearing gunzel also takes this sort of approach. His vest is his means of 'power'.
Many of you who followed the Albury tour will know of a group of people (who will remain anonymous, as posting their name's would be akin to posting a photo of graffiti on a public forum, and who likes advertising the work of idiots? Anyone?) who fit the above description to a tee. this is where theory number two comes into play...
The follower.
Basically these people are either submissive or retarded (usually the latter) enough to do what said "He-Man" says and does. "He wears a vest, then so do I! He tells me to go over here, so I do! He starts yelling at the car which was parked there 20 minutes before we arrived to get the fuck out of his photo, so do I!" Basically this type of person will make the quorum of the pack, with a couple of vest wearers as their flag bearers.
This is probably a bit of a long-winded post, but I reckon it sums up people who wear high-vis vests to follow trains about. I also think it's a fairly sound theory - it certainly would be interesting to see a proper thesis written about the psychology of vest-wearing gunzels... |
Make of it what you will. I enjoyed writing it, and also giving people a spray at the same time - I just hope I haven't killed the thread!

Good to see we are in furious agreement. Not allowed to slag off that other place but you know the drill.
That's why I have only-half-in-jest suggested sending 3801 to the torch. My memories of a once fine locomotive ruined by reading pages of dribble about it.
I keep my head down on tours or photographing situations. First, I don't take photos of any artistic merit, only sufficient to illustrate my posts or give me reminders of things, like where sidings were or whatever. And I've said enough on the page to make me cautious about some of the nutters.
Notch, you have your "train porn" links but I wonder does anyone here do photos of track. I get hard-ons from a good stretch of 60kg on concrete and clean ballast, and for added stimulation a bit of tight 25kv strung from fresh galvanised masts. Good thing with track: doesn't usually move and gives you plenty of time to line up the photo.

Hmmm. An infra-gunzel. I suspect Waddles is also one.
Both members of a sleeper cell too; no doubt.

or tangled in it?
I found when my local was all upgraded - nothing like 4 fresh tracks and some over engineered 1500v DC (as much as 2.5kv AC is better, still prefer the old stuff coz it needs the big arse posts to hold it all up  )

Filtertron, Great spray you put up there, that basicly just sums it right up in my opinion. You would have upset a fair few invincible gunzels with that Well done.

All silent in my inbox, so he's probably one of the real loner cunts who thinks he's too good for all the "dribbly foamers" on the internet, not realising that he's not "too good for us", it's that the internet, and society in general doesn't want him.
Froth forth folks, here comes the 59

Uncle Harry I have seen that type of thing happen here in SA, I was out with two friends who were on duty at the time, we pull up much as you did and got told to fuck off. Well we parked the car nearby and my two friends then proceeded to arrest the idiot on the spot, for various offences. They put him in the back with me, he asked what I had done and I just said murder, he turned a funny shade of white and then asked what happened, so I said I pulled up at a spot by the railway line and this idiot told me to fuck off, so I did him in. He nearly shit himself I can tell you, my friends and I had a good laugh about it later at the pub!
If the idiot had looked a bit closer he would have noticed the government plates on the car, Blind Freddy eat your heart out!
