Honestly, I have no idea on how to do an introduction, so just welcomes would do I guess.

However, if you want to know a little about me (I guess that what you do here), I'm a railfan who's into Canadian, European, Russian/former-USSR, South African, Japanese, Australian, and Chinese railways. I have encyclopedic knowledge of pretty much the majority of trains in those regions, but know the most about Canadian, Estonian, Finnish, German, French, Swedish, Russian, and to a lesser extemt British trains. I also enjoy good political, railway, or historical discussions too - especially those about Canada, Northern Europe (Iceland to Finland and Estonia), and Russia and the former-USSR - especially Cold War stuff.

Now, I would appreciate welcomes for now. But if you want to ask questions about my interests or other things like that to break the ice, go right ahead. New people are always shy. :)

Hi :D

I'm interested in modern history too, though I definitely don't have an encyclopedic knowledge about it :)

Well... where are you from ?

Well, I'll just say Simcoe County in Ontario. I'm originally from the North, hence my homage to Ontario Northland on my signature...
