Hello everyone,
I'm a 50 year old engineer in the Rail Industry (Rolling Stock Maintenance).
I am proficient in Mechanical, Electrical, Pneumatic and Fluid Dynamic Principle Engineering.

I have Asperger Syndrome and ADHD, which form part of the Autistic Spectrum. Although perceived as a disability, I would not be the engineer I am today without it, so see it as a positive.

I like tinkering and making things. I also take enjoyment and satisfaction in fixing anything, even though it doesn't always work out :doh:

In my youth I used to restore old 1950's & 1960's Air Cooled Volkswagens, which was before my children came along and had more disposable time 😆😆

Anyway, take care and I look forward to having a chat 👍
