You are going about things the right way round - your extensive experience in actually constructing things will be a massive benefit.
You have obviously researched the number of rail related jobs currently on the Job Page.
The decision you now have to make is whether to go contract or stay on PAYE.
If you form a limited company and - with the help of a good accountant - you can generate a good rate and a much lower tax burden.
After a year or two planning the work it will be time to move into the delay analysis market and put your rates up dramatically.
Welcome on board.
