Born in the Netherlands in 1976. As a teenager, I was a volunteer on one of the first Dutch narrow gauge railway preservation initiatives, the. The latter Dutch Wikipedia article was my first Wikipedia contribution ever, as an anonymous user.

I started on the English Wikipedia on 5 November 2011 with creating the Two-foot-gauge railways in South Africa article, which I consider my magnum opus.

I have a great interest in narrow gauge railways, especially the Two foot and 600 mm gauge railways.

Apart from contributing to the WikiProject Trains I use Wikipedia for my other interests like geopolitics, personal development and history.

Articles created from scratch

 * Two-foot-gauge railways in South Africa
 * Burma Mines Railway
 * Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway
 * Thomas Hall (railway engineer)
 * Umzinto – Donnybrook narrow gauge railway

Articles translated from other wikis
(predominantly "summarized" translations)


 * Ferrocarril Económico Correntino (Spanish)
 * Geriatriezentrum Am Wienerwald Feldbahn (German)
 * Jardin d'Acclimatation railway (French)
 * Mayumbe line (French)
 * Putagán—Colbún railway (Spanish)
 * Round House (Nunspeet, Netherlands) (Dutch)
 * South Western Railway (South Africa) (German)
 * Southern Province Railway (German)
 * Swakopmund–Windhoek line (German)

The Narrow Gauge Railways by Country Project
When I first discovered the narrow gauge railway aricle, the "Narrow gauge railways by country" section had grown extremely large, containing over 100,000 bytes. From 28 July 2013 I started forking many countries into their own respective articles and expanded its contents:


 * Narrow gauge railways in Austria
 * Narrow gauge railways in Croatia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Denmark
 * Narrow gauge railways in Estonia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Finland
 * Narrow gauge railways in Hungary
 * Narrow gauge railways in Latvia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Lithuania
 * Narrow gauge railways in Norway
 * Narrow gauge railways in Poland
 * Narrow gauge railways in Russia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Sweden
 * Narrow gauge railways in Ukraine

I moved the remainder in the narrow gauge railways by continent articles and created the Navbox Narrow gauge railways by continent:


 * Narrow gauge railways in Africa
 * Narrow gauge railways in Asia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Europe
 * Narrow gauge railways in North America
 * Narrow gauge railways in Oceania
 * Narrow gauge railways in South America

The narrow gauge railway article was now reduced to less than 20,000 bytes. Then I continued to create narrow gauge railways by country articles:


 * Narrow gauge railways in Albania
 * Narrow gauge railways in Bosnia and Herzegovina
 * Narrow gauge railways in Cyprus
 * Narrow gauge railways in France
 * Narrow gauge railways in Germany
 * Narrow gauge railways in Italy
 * Narrow gauge railways in Kazakhstan
 * Narrow gauge railways in Luxembourg
 * Narrow gauge railways in Serbia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Slovenia
 * Narrow gauge railways in Spain
 * Narrow gauge railways in the Netherlands
 * Narrow gauge railways in Turkey
