Sorry for late reply to posts and concerns in this forum.
I agree to the point that some folks here raise question about
frequent posting and such. Foremost, I deal mostly in technical
aspects of railways. Frankly, when talking about STARIS and local
MRT, I have little to talk about. But its all about trains, and
diversity isn't it? Having moderators who deal with train
deployment and operational aspect, I feel that this forum needs a
person who can be a cornerstone for the technical side. Hence this
is why I raised my hand and offered myself.
I trust that there are folks who can answer technical stuff as
well, but face it, these information normally do not surpass what
is obtained on the Internet and mouth-to-mouth level. I have done
research into train mechanics for little over 4 years, answering
automobile and train mechanics questions is a daily matter even to
school, layman or enthusiasts. Based on experience, I would feel
the maturity of knowledge at this level versus the age. I am not a
professional yet, and I won't be attaining that level unless I work
with those machines everyday.
Yes, knowledge on local context may still be limited, but its
all about learning, isn't it? I learn everyday, people correct me
and I gladly absorb. Life long learning, this is how its supposed
to be, and hence when offering myself as this position, I also make
it a point to have a concentrated technical thread for folks who
have random questions to ask or answer so everyone can learn.
Everyone can answer and learn at the end of the day.
I hope folks who have not seen me in-person or posting around
here can give me a chance to help out in the various duties and
questions here.
At local level, its the usual track and rolling stock technical
aspects. At international level, I concentrate on Japan railways,
rolling stock, signaling, diagram scheduling, accident records and
investigations, safety devices and history.
May I ask? How old are you? Do you only have technical interest
in trains? How about cars?
