My grandfather thought the 'whoosh'[1] of a steam locomotive's cylinders was wonderful, and thought the diesel and electric locomotives that replaced them were 'soulless'.
But look at the filth they created! [2] (The shafts of light show how smokey it is in there).
His hobby was travelling round the country to see old steam trains running on preserved/heritage railways. That's fine, and fans of ICE cars will probably be able to watch races, drive on private roads/racetracks etc.
