Model Railway Fashion

I just had to quote this; it comes from the editorial of Model Railway Journal

As has often been observed, the dress sense of many modellers leaves much to be desired. In 7mm circles especially, tweed jackets unravelling at the cuffs and egg-stained society ties still appear to be de rigueur, decades after they vanished from the greater world at large. How refreshing, then, to encounter the Goth-fixated ladies and gentlemen of Diesel and Electric Modellers United (DEMU). Amid a welter of black leather, red fishnet and multiple body piercings, some seriously good modelling appears to be going on. Admire their display at an exhibition near you - visit www.demu.co.uk or catch the DEMU Showcase Event at Burton on Trent on the 5th June.

Quoted by Alan Monk (serious Closterkeller fan) on the Demodellers mailing list.

I went to the DEMU Showcase, and it was true! It seems I run into more Goths at model railway shows than I do at RPG conventions. There's even the lady who wants to build a layout in a coffin.

Update: Some of those individuals here.
