Trainspotting at a whole new level...

Train buffs in Germany are facing jail after building their own ramshackle locomotive and taking it on the public rail network. The six-seater train was made out of garden furniture and salvaged train parts. Six men were arrested, but it is believed the train ran on time.

Let's look at the facts:

* They are train buffs
* They built their own train
* Used it on a public rail network
* There were 6 of them
* It happend in Germany

I'd suggest that it was a given that alcohol was involved..
