NOTE: Not to be mistaken for Morwen, who is someone entirely different. Thankfully, someone I'm not insulted by being mistaken for!

I'm 31, an Englishman in California. Living in Anaheim, California, a block from Disneyland, and working in Newport Beach, California almost under the John Wayne Airport takeoff path, as a UNIX systems administrator (ex-programmer).

I'm a railfan, someone with an obsessive interest in all things about trains and railways / railroads. I plan to increase the coverage of such subjects here. I also own an old car, a 1967 Ford Thunderbird, and am quite knowledgable about automotive technology and indeed machinery in general. Also interested in military technology and history, especially 20th century, and I have an interest in history in general. In general, I'm a big knowledge sponge, so I know a fair amount about a lot of things.

I have added a large number of images to Wikipedia. The vast majority have been public domain US Government pictures of aircraft types, but I have also been very active in putting up pictures of classic cars, which are easy to find and photograph in Southern California. I have also recently (December 2004) acquired a copy of the 1922 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice, a 1100-page work now in the public domain with numerous illustrations of railroad locomotives and their components. I will be scanning and adding suitable images over time and also using such text in it as is useful.

I am a member of WikiProject Trains, WikiProject Automobiles, WikiProject Ships, and WikiProject Aircraft.

My photographs are now available online thanks to a smugmug.com account - it's a pretty nice photo hosting site, with no limit to the number of photographs. My recent photographs are there, and some older ones -- I'm adding them slowly. My photography is being encouraged thanks to a new Kodak Dx6440 4-megapixel camera, which is proving to take very nice photos indeed.

All my contributions to Wikipedia for which I own the copyright are released into the public domain, as described below. Use and enjoy.
