I just realized … Fedi is all about people’s niche esoteric interests and really going all-in on them, but where are the trainspotters?? I mean, this is a *classic* subculture niche interest and somehow I have almost none of that in my feed

Feel generally well disposed towards Millwall. Last season away at Charlton, 'spoons breakfast at Euston, bunch of Millwall fans chatted to us and were sound and sincerely hoped we'd beat "the trainspotters".

A local undertaker is found killed by a bomb planted in the greenhouse. Suspicion falls on Wolf Creek’s trainspotters, worried that lewd messages daubed in pigs blood inside a Tory peer’s house might threaten to force the local diamond mine to close.

Hilarious to see some railfans hating on furries for organising a fursuiting outing at a heritage railway. Do you not want to see people having fun and supporting your railway? Do you not see the irony of hating furries when trainspotters were the butt of jokes for decades?

RP with your home river
The Feather River, specifically the North Folk. (If this asked home waterway, it would be any of several creeks and washes through town.) Trainspotters love this part where a long train can crossover itself as it climbs the canyon.

There was a discussion elsewhere on here a week or two ago positing that train enthusiasts, from trainspotters to miniature railroad set ups, are likely on the spectrum. Or maybe just have avoidance issues.

A local busybody is found squashed to death by an absolute unit. Suspicion falls on Malham Cross’ trainspotters, confused that competition for parking spaces in Sainsbury’s might threaten the closure of Midsomer's last brewery.
