The highlight of Season Two was going to see Tim Dunn talk about the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum at the Model Railway Club. (Yes, they are the Model Railway Club.)
Good, random facts that I noted down:
Sierra Leone has used a former Isle of Wight hovercraft as a ferry (though it is not currently in operation.)
Those Bounty ads were filmed on Sierra Leone beaches.
Freetown is twinned with Hull.
One of the locos on the SL railway was very similar to Russell of the Welsh Highland Railway, after which, family history has it, I was named. (That last fact was not noted in the talk.)
Less randomly, the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum is a good thing.
