60.) You have a complete set of "The Railway Series" from its original print run (not me, but a couple of my friends!)
61.) You pay rediculous prices on ebay to be able to have the complete collection, including the rarer Christ Awdry books.
62.) You can recite more than one TV Series by rote (Guilty, in my heyday, I could recite every episode from Series 1,2 AND 3!

65. You take shelter in a tunnel during a rainstorm, and garrison yourself inside with bricks. 66. You paint a 5 on your old Radio Flyer, tie the handle to your waist, and cart it around for the rest of the day pretending to be James. 67. You take the Radio Flyer for a spin on the roundabout (merry-go-round for the Americans) after attaching it to yourself. 68. You go off on a mad rant because the old mine shaft doesn't have a "DANGER" sign nearby. 69. Your LC Salty model is a voodoo doll awaiting a shipment of cacti to be dropped on the evil Spongebob lookalike.

72. You want some Thomas stuff that you can only buy off Ebay, but your parents don't trust Ebay, because they don't like bidding against people. (Guilty) 73. To add to that, you look to a teacher only to realize that he/she doesn't trust Ebay, either, but for a rather scary reason: The fact that you have to deal with dishonest people. 74. You'd rather have LC Wooden Railway models with labels underneath, even if you happen to already have those models without the labels.
EDIT: What do you think of those reasons?

75.) If your friend runs late to a meeting/outing and you chastise them telling them that they "have caused confusion and delay!".
76.) You have a OO scale model of Ffarquharr and Ffarquharr Quarry in your home (not yet, but planning for it!)
77.) You purchase models of Thomas, Percy, Toby and wish that Mavis and Daisy were available so that you could run the Ffarquhar Branch and Quarry line properly.

87. You have the following question with your brother and dad while riding behind a 28XX: BROTHER: I remember when we went behind that 8F. DAD: These engines were the basis of the 8Fs. FS: Of course! Because Stanier was apprenticed at Swindon, wasn't he? DAD: More than apprenticed. FS: Of course, he was an engineer with them. I'm thinking of... I'm thinking of the Fat Controller, aren't I? BROTHER: Idiot.

99. When pleased with someone, you reward them by calling them a "Really Useful Engine" and by giving them a new coat of paint. 105. When said someone has had so many coats of paint, they overheat due to clogged pores. ("You'll keep that new coat of paint on and like it!!!") 106.Your plans for souping-up your car involve the following: -Reroute the exhaust to the front/top, and just in front of the front wheels. -If possible, convert to steam power. -Apply red/green/brown/blue paint, stripes and numbers as necessary.
