Why?
I simply like trains is all. I attribute this to my anglophilia - the admiration of England and things English. As any trainspotter would know, trainspotting is a very British passion.

What?
This site is hosted in Malaysia by MesraHosting.Net on TMnet Internet connection, sharing 10GB space and 50GB bandwidth with its parent site MyMalaya.com. Software wise, I use Macromedia Dreamweaver 3, RivaVX FLV Encoder Any Video Converter, Adobe Photoshop CS2, and FileZilla.

The tool used to take the videos is a simple Kodak EasyShare Z700 digital camera, which outputs to 320 X 240 ( some older videos were captured at 640 X 480) Quicktime .mov files.

Beginning February 2008, all new videos featured are captured by the webmaster using the Canon Powershot S3 IS Digital Camera. The output is MJPEG-coded AVI files at 640 X 480 pixels @ 30 fps, with stereo sound. The files are then re-encoded into 400 x 300 .flv files for streaming on this web site.

I am working to get a full-fledged handycam - if you are feeling generous and would like to contribute to that cause please know that I await any kind of assistance with open arms ;-)

Where?
I typically spend my weekends near Kuang and Sungai Buloh because I love the quietness and rural air of the town. Also because Kuang is a stopover for the bulk of KTM's freight mainstay - cement and sugar with distribution centres of both just outside town.
