Trainspotting. Whether it’s the Ewan McGregor-powered head in toilet film or the practice of watching iron horses go by, it is nothing to be proud of.
Fortunately the Personal Computer allows us to indulge forbidden passions such as wanting to drive trains, or a fetish for women in waders, in the privacy of our sordid homes.?Regrettably I subscribe to the former camp and relish the idea of driving a virtual Class 30 diesel through Luton Parkway while sounding the horn.
That is until I launch the ‘simulator’ and remember how isolating and badly designed the train sim generally is.
