I find QR codes a little hard to get excited about (perhaps because I don't own a smartphone), but if we can get the railway publications, and through them the railway industry, interested in Wikimedia, it could lead to some very constructive partnerships. There are a lot of dilapidated railway articles that would benefit.

I've been sitting in the office with Stevie listening to him ring round the various railway magazines - it takes a while to explain QR codes to some of them, but once you start mentioning combining modern technology with preserved steam locomotives, you can hear their ears perking up...
