I'm your local Global Moderator! Fear not, however - we don't bite unless we have to. Also, I like aluminium alloys to be used for trains, as opposed to clunky stainless steel.

Oh, they're aluminium? Oh, goody. One more reason to love them.

Uhhh. Well, the Tulloch trailers too, actually. The idea behind this preference of mine is that aluminium alloys are much lighter, allowing the weight to be saved or used for something more functional than dead body weight, but just as strong as steel.

Problem is, do we have domestic sources of the stuff? I know we have s**t tons of iron ore and coal, hence the history of CityRail's trains all being built domestically using stainless steel - except the Japanese electrical stuff.
