Bearded man: ...And this is my pet project!
Bearded man: It's a fully functioning scale replica of the central train depot in Leipzig, Germany!
Bearded man: EVERY detail is authentic. The trains keep accurate schedules. The "staff" wear authentic uniforms. I even bought an actual uniform on eBay for the fabric!
Bearded man: And I have EVEN made some improvements! Simple things - track efficiency, crowd flow ...
Bearded man: Things my vantage point allows me to see, that the real -world station managers may miss. Each month I send them a letter with my findings!
Other bloke: Wow. Someone's got a lot of time on their hands.
Bearded man: NO, I DON'T because I SPEND it doing things like THIS.
