A poignant day for MRW highlighting all the work Hemil has done here at MRW which is now coming to a close as his placement finishes and he returns to university.
HIYA! Myself, Hemil Modh. I’m an undergrad Product Design intern who is easily approachable, poised and creative. Always been keen on the scientific side of product Design and understanding the “Why’s” & ‘How’s” of the world. Apart from my profession, photography and sports like badminton, cricket and football are also cherished by me.
My time at MRW
It's Been more than Eight months now here at MRW & will be finishing by mid of June, 2024. As a budding product designer, it’s a brilliant environment to grow & learn from the experienced & agile team. Be it an individual project or team project, it’s always interesting to know and understand things. These 9 months have comparatively given me more knowledge than a couple of years of uni. As there’s no substitute for real experience.
MRW has given me much more than I imagined. My mentor “Dan” & other team members have given immense support. Everyday is a school day. I’ve always been interested in engines, bikes & automobiles. MRW gave me the opportunity to delve into the interesting world of miniature trains. I had never ridden a miniature train before joining MRW. It was a surreal experience after driving the train with passengers. The smiles on the faces of kids and big kids ( Adults ) gave me satisfaction. That's the aim of the product designer. To serve, design and create a better world for the people.
My Work at MRW
Many projects have been undertaken like file boxes, Lamp brackets, Event signs, speed signs, etc. Here are some of the vital ones.
1. Lamp Brackets
I was tasked to create 6 lamps brackets for the Halloween themed miniature train event at Pugneys. According to requirements, research and measurements guided me to create these brackets. Instead of opting for modern laser cutting techniques, I chose the traditional approach, meticulously cutting and filing each bracket to ensure a flawless finish. These brackets played a vital role at Pugneys Halloween Miniature Railway event. Demonstrating that time-honoured craftsmanship can still shine in today's technology-driven world.
2. Sign Boards
For the Christmas event, aesthetic signs were created for the public. Crafted with precision and creativity, the sign boards for MRW's rail events embody seamless navigation. "Exit" ensures smooth transitions. "Rockingham Express' ' depicts thrill & excitement, promising a journey beyond ordinary. "Tickets" stands as a gateway to anticipation, welcoming all aboard. Enamel paint was used to protect it against harsh weather.
