About Me

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.
