Welcome to my special interest web sites. If you are interested in railway traction in Malaysia (modern and historical), or in the gradual development of Singapore from jungle island to ultra-modern city-state, or in the currency used by Malaysia, Singapore and its predecessors, then take a look through these these pages.

These pages show how Singapore gradually evolved from a rural island covered in jungle to the ultra-modern city that we know today.

These pages represent a virtual coin and banknote collection covering the Straits Settlements, Malaya, Singapore and Malaysia.

These pages focus on the ever-changing motive power of the Malaysian railway system, from the earliest steam locomotives to the latest Chinese diesels.
