It's been done already.
There is a quite well-known image doing the rounds of a Connex train showing the "destination" "This train is f****d"

I have a (de-)motivational poster with that image along with several other rail-related images.

Whole new meaning to raising a panto? In some cases maybe it would be of benefit to humanity if contact was made with the overhead... |
Honestly, something is wrong with these foamers. It's like they've only been into the hobby 5 minutes or so and yet they tell the railway workers how to do their jobs! No wonder drivers and that get the sh1ts with some of these nut cases!! It seems as if the foamers have nothing else better to do except bat off over a train!!
Although I do admit I do get a little bit excited (not sexually!!) every time I see AN 1 getting about as I am proud to say that I had a hand in helping to build her and seeing her in action. Bit different to getting a chubby (raising the panto!!) over a train! I rather "raise my panto" for my girlfriend!!

Ahh yes, AN 1. I remember one bloke that only lasted a day at Clyde saw the motor and generator of AN 1, making the comment about the motor being a bit big to fit into a HR Holden!!! And a welder who was working in the cabin space of AN 1 (remember the ANs having seperate cabs to the rest of the loco) singing Kylie's "Locomotion" with a few word changes...."C'mon, c'mon, build a locomotive with me!"  And having to work with mad one-eyed Collingwood supporters!! Ahh, the memories at Clyde!! Stupid me didn't think to take a camera with me to work to get pictures...I'm kicking myself big time now.

If I had the time and the will to do so, it doesn't take that long to find people, first name and last name helps, rough idea of an area helps too and generally you can narrow it down quite quickly.
I did that years ago when I was planning a party and invited people I hadn't seen in a while and most of the responses were 'how on earth did you find me? lol
