Meadows) 
NSW, Vietnamese Background.
Being a yound enthusiast is good to me since you get recognised, get 
respected. and gives you superiority to our Younger!

My life story of trains. I've been into trains as far as I can remember! Use 
to travel on them with me family to the city on weekends when I was little 
and 
didn't speak english.
Most of my fav. trains are of electrics in Sydney (i.e. Cityrail Trains!).
---
The story of "V". V=V-SET. My most favourite train out of any in Sydney (yes 
the Tangara). I do call myself a V-SET fanatic since me train mates tell 
others I'm non-stop, but I'm proud of it!
Why do I like the V-SET? It's much more comfortable, it's hell fast! the 
noise 
of its traction motors (ABYI 149- 190hp JE type) I simply cannot resist.

BEST Experiences on trains

-First time rode a V-SET. Anzac Day 1999. Simply first class comfort to me!
-Riding the F-SET to Oatley on the day of the 75th Anniversary
-TRavelling to Mt. Victoria in the mountains
-Cab ride on the W-SET also on the 75th
-Meeting and making friends with new train mates

WORST EXPERIENCES

-Too many to list

-"5:18pm" fiasco
-LAte trains
-My commuter service being switched through the Y link when not suppose to!
-Accidently getting on board the 5:16pm IU service which dosen't stop at 
Penrith and proceeds straight to Glenbrook!
-Being taken into the SM's office at Penrith for taking a picture!
-Being questioned at central after taking a picture of an Endeavour between 
Platform 1 and 2


LIKES
-"(Let me put it this way, I like anything that goes on rails which has 
air-conditioning, thick windows, wall-high carpeting, very comfy seats, 
toilets with drinking fountain, large panoramic windows, travels through 
beautiful scenery, very fast and you know the rest) "

HATES
-Immature adults (Dave Myall)
-People who email me and have obscene language
-too much to say.

In train photography, I've been into the hobby since Sept 2000. 
Started off with a 35mm and gone on to my proud Minolta Dynax 300si with 
28-210mm zoom. Currently use a 400ISO but changing to 200ISO because of less 
grain.

I like to travel far (Mt. Vic, south coast, central coast) for interest.

In my life outside the world of trains I go to Emmaus Catholic College 
Erskine 
Park, in Yr9, boast about my smartness in maths :-)

---
Only a commuter when travelling to and from Belmore on Sat.
During the holidays it's more.
