On SiF
BigBoy85, though a more quiet member of SiF has infact been around since the original SiF. He prefers The Railway Series over it's TV series counter part Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, awaiting with excitement for volume #41.
On SiF the two threads that BigBoy85 post on the most are the sprites thread & the Caption Contest thread. BigBoy85 is also a fan of the Independant Works in particular; The Laggan Railway, Eln Valley Railway, The Cumbrian Engines, Scarlet & Co & Steam Engines of the Forest.
Off SiF-Railways
Away from the forums, BigBoy85 is really Shannon Wilson. A railway enthusiast at heart, will try anything to ride on a train. Currently he is complaining about the fact that all passenger services (sans TransAdelaide, Steamranger, Steamtown Peterborough & Pichi Richi Railway) that aren't interstate were axed in the 70s, 80s & 90s.
Shannon/BigBoy85 also (rather heavily) despises Edward Thompson due to the rebuilding of the Great Northern 4-6-2. He is also unsure of his opinion of the Beeching Axe.
