Hi everyone,
I’m Alan from Perthshire. I’ve recently been diagnosed as autistic at 45. I’m not good at introductions, or social networking - but I’m here and hoping to make use of the forum and make some connections.
Hi Alison, Puff Pastry Hangman, and Aidie. Thanks for the welcome.
My interests are agriculture and heavy machines such as tractors and combines; Lego; video games; and railway infrastructure. I feel blessed that I work in the railway industry and I have a job that I really enjoy.
My birthday was a fortnight ago (Friday) and I visited the Ulster Transport Museum at Cultra - North Down - for the day. I only stayed about fifteen minutes, but snapped the bit out. (taking photos)

Hi Alan
Welcome aboard!
I'm a techy-nerd into all sorts of machinery - got tons of Technical Lego and I'm really into trains - I asked someone at TFL nicely and got to drive a trainload of unsuspecting commuters into London - and I've driven the Disney Monorail in Florida.
For some reason I really love Class 47 engines - what are you into?.
Great to hear you have a job you love. My grandad drove trains all his working life. Steams trains to start with, then diesel and electric. In retirement, he went on a trip to the National Railway Museum in York (he didn't usually leave the East Anglian region). I could see on his face that it was the most amazing place he had ever been to. Trains stay in your blood apparently.
