This one isn't really an FAQ, it's more of a list. These are the more, shall we say, prominent of the Starlight Express fans you may meet. Most of them are members of the Yahoo! StEx club, or hang out on the musicals.net forum.

| Favourite quote: | "Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers." --Cancerman, "X-Files: 4X07: Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" | |

| Occupation: | Student | |
| Favourite character: | Rusty, Dinah, Greaseball | |
| Favourite quote: | "Piglet poisoned Pooh Bear's honey." -- Red Caboose | |
| What you like most about StEx: | The show's originality. I mean, really! What other musical show has the actors dressed up as anthropomorphic trains, performing on roller skates? The characters are darling, the plot (before it became nonexistent in the revamp) was wonderful, the costumes are soooo cool, and heck who wouldn't love a chance to escape reality and be taken into a world where trains, coaches and trucks have different personalities, dreams, and desires, and where you can feel like a kid again? |
