Would would be fab would be some railway forums. Anyone know of any?

One more site to add. It's an excellent site which lists various forms of railway furniture - viaducts, tunnels and other bits and peices as well as the odd station.

A bit London centric but I also love reading about deep level shelters, e.g. www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/features/deep_level_shelters/index.html
