Vanmanyo - Rail enthusiast from the West Midlands

Hello, my name is Vanmanyo, I'm a rail enthusiast from the Midlands. I am an aspiring rail photographer, and love taking images of trains!

My aim on Wikipedia is to provide train-related articles with the highest quality photographs; I usually follow several 'rules' when changing a photo on Wikipedia with one of my images:

There must be a reason for a change - I don't change images for the sake of having my image on a Wikipedia page. These changes include:
- Previous image is blurry or low quality
- Previous image features an older variant of what's being shown (such as an outdated livery)
- Previous image does not fully show what's being shown (such as a poorly cropped image)
The image must show what the Wikipedia article is about - and be relevant in the 21st century. The image must also be framed well, highlighting the whole object.
The image must be, in my view, more useful for the average user in terms of information shown etc.

Obviously, sometimes I may change an image wrongly, but I always try and be as unbiased as possible :D

My favourite images - Vanmanyo

These are some of my most interesting Wikipedia commons images I have taken. Most of these are with my Canon EOSM5, some are with other on-hire cameras or my mobile device.
