    The internet has created a lot of characters, many quite weird.

    This guy, is he creating a Mr Bean type character or what?  He has over 3 million followers and many videos have million+ views and his videos are railway related.  This in itself congers up impressions of weirdos (I was an avid train spotter in my youth, but it was in the steam era). 

    Here are a couple, this guy is obviously quite intelligent and well spoken and my opinion is he is creating this character.

    Now in this one what is the purpose of the face camera and the childish excitement as the train goes past?

    He even dresses the part for this nostalgic 50s day out accompanied by an attractive female companion.

    He's really great and if he's going for the Mr. Bean vibe, good with that too.  We love Mr. Bean.

    My favorite is when he dresses up for his train experience in 1950's style clothing.

    Which made me think there is a serious side to him too.  I've seen subsequent videos where he meets people whilst out videoing.  And of course the head cam that he wears for that very odd effect doesn't look that strange when viewed by passers by.  I've worn a headcam before but pointing forward to record what I am seeing.

    So many clever and interesting people on tiktok and youtube that take their time to share their creative side. 

    I've never used a headcam before.

    Seems he is on YouTube too, found this video featuring him, at 2:55 his mother speaks about his autism.  The video is a clip from a program shown by our National Broadcaster so hope there are no geo restrictions to you viewing.

    I was able to watch the video....heartwarming.  His love for trains at an early age and knowledge is vast.  Nice that his mom does so much for him too.  Inspiring, really.
