Just to save you all from googling. ferroequinologist - Wiktionary, the free dictionary - basically an iron horse fan ie trains.

I'm off tomorrow to spend 3 weeks cruising around on trains in Switzerland and Austria with a bit of time in Vicenza and Trieste. The first part of the trip will culminate in the AFF lunch in Paris.

Then off to the UK for about 3 weeks with a week in London and then Cambridgeshire for a week then Cheshire and a few days to get to Edinburgh for 5 nights then home.

I'm hopeless at doing TR on the go - I don't know how people do it but I'll try and post photos when I can.

Of course getting rewards out of Adelaide are hopeless so I'm flying Sydney then DXB and to VCE.
 
Velocity redemptions are often not too bad.
Will definitely be following your TR though
Sadly I've got mainly QF points and now I'm retired find it harder to get CC bonus

There is a QR J CR flight on Sunday but I have plans when I arrive. I think next time I might book something flexible for the first few days and then keep an eye on QR flights just before I leave

LOVE your plan… following with great interest 🚊😁

EDIT: on a shortish road trip today, forgot I had changed the voice directions to Roger Federer… who is also one of the talking heads in a series of Swiss Rail promo videos:
