50 Hurtz

When I were a lad, I was into model railways. My layout took over the whole room, to the point where I actually slept underneath it. One day I'd been wiring up a whole new section, and as I got ready for bed I was looking at the half-finished job, and wondering if I'd remembered to turn off the mains electricity when I'd stopped for the day.

So to check, I simply reached out and touched the bare terminals in the junction box. It turns out that I hadn't.

250 Volts, 50 Hertz: oh yes, they really do.

Attractive to the opposite sex?

I think, in general, Model Railways are instead of contact with the opposite sex
Of course, I was only 12 at the time.

When I got a bit older, I discovered that computers were a *much* better substitute for contact with the opposite sex.

^^^That^^^
Given that many permanent layouts are designed so the 'driver' stands in the middle surrounded/protected by their tracks.
