At Wayside Creative, we design railway-themed merchandise that resonates with the heart and humour of the rail industry, combining creativity and rail concepts to produce high-quality products to foster a sense of community and appreciation.
You can find all our products on our Etsy Store (WaysideCreativeAU).
Wayside Creative designs are perfect for the Railwayman/Railwaywoman, train enthusiast or gunzel in your life!
I'm Stephen and I've worked in the Australian Rail Industry for over 10 years, starting as an electrical engineering graduate in a commuter rail network and currently working in maintenance management for a bulk commodity railway.
Over the years I've come across several railway concepts that I thought had a humorous or educational side, and after a trip to the UK in 2019 where I purchased this shirt from the National Railway Museum I started coming up with some ideas of my own.
The designs I produce aren't just simple drawings of trains, they always have a deeper rail purpose and are targeted at people working in the Rail Industry to have a strong connection to the industry.
My career has predominantly been working in Railways Signaling and Communications, which together make up the wayside equipment you will find on a railway.
Please use the form below if you would like to contact me. I'm always keen to hear future design ideas or feedback on my current designs!
I can also provide quotes for custom designs and larger orders outside of Etsy.
