Lego trains and scientific conference

[TomOOO]

I was attending a scientific conference last week and one of the speakers gave a talk on the use of databases and big data.  The used lego trains as an analogy of the database "engine" and the data payload.  I spent much of the talk trying to identify the trains (photos), they had.  Certainly a lot from the 12V era plus a number of variants on the hobby train and a a few MOCs.  Sometimes it is nice to see that I am not only person with a huge collection of Lego trains (and technic)

Well, you can at least do a lot around hard to solve problems etc. by shuffling trains, so there possibly is a potential for that. Probably some other lego enthusiast :)
