Rev. John Shores had a hot take on model making and temperance back in 1910:
"Model builders…are not time wasters, mere pleasure seekers, street corner loafers, nor public house frequenters. Such people never excel in hobby work…"

1/15 Thank you and hello! My thesis looks at the history of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR). This thread is about how an Australian-built diesel locomotive came to represent Tai Po, a town in HK. This is the loco here: #NTiHoR
3/ but how did it gain its status in the town of Tai Po? And how did the HK Railway Museum come into being?
Over to you, Adonis, for 'Green: How a General Motors locomotive came to represent a Hong Kong town'
