This is a channel showcasing my devotion to a hobby that may benefit those not just looking for an alternative form of therapy, but also shows that in todays ever changing and somewhat deteriorating world.. the passion and hobby of Model Railways will stand strong... and will always benefit in a positive way... as it did for me.
In addition to shorts showing repairs and restorations, you can enjoy throwbacks with programs centred on the hobby along with coverage of various exhibitions.
More content is viewable on TikTok and on X (formally Twitter)
The hobby we all need in this world... Model Railways... and me :)

Model Railways and Me
The Midland Railway Centre was my first exposure to working steam locomotives when my parents took me to my first Thomas event almost 30 years ago... Today it has been my go to place for inspiration, enjoyment, and would like to thank all volunteers and friends of the line for their ongoing support in the last few years, if I lived nearer to this line I would give my time to volunteering... I'd consider the same for Elsecar if it was still up and running.
I look forward to continuing my regular visits to the line, knowing my friendship and support from the lines workers and volunteers remains strong :)

One of my recently featured locomotives has finally returned to full working order, ten months on from her purchase.
Hornby's "County of Hants" was the last birthday present from my stepdad prior to his passing last October, unfortunately the loco suffered teething problems, a gear was cracked, her Dcc conversion was lost and her pickups snapped off, her gear was a salvaged replacement but until now no pickup replacements were made available other than Hornbys older ones which were incompatible, and she's had to make do with glued on pickups from a castle, and although she was able to work, her crawling was poor.
Thanks to Peter's Spares she now has her correct up to date pickups installed though is still in need of a replacement base keeper plate to reinstate her brake rigging, however thanks to my local clubs resources, her tender now has a realistic coal load :)
Hopefully she gets some long awaited running sessions soon.

This morning, I received a present from a close friend who rides the bus with me every week.
Thanks Kai, so thoughtful of you ☺️
Wish there were more people like you in this world.

Hull exhibition footage coming up this week :)
Whilst the next planned show coverage is a month away there hopefully will be some more short content forthcoming, including driver POV layout runnings, repairs and more.
Stay subbed and thanks for your continued support ^^

New content will arrive over the coming weeks which will include new drivers view videos of future featured layouts, though these will take time to edit.

Bit hot today isn't it?
Hopefully will cool down before the next exhibition this Saturday.

Rounding off a brilliant Day out with Thomas st Pickering, recently I was lucky to have aquired a full 1970s map of Sodor for little over £20, considering most of these go for £50-70 if mint, this one had pencil scribbles on the back... but next month, this will be framed :)
and will be a decorative inspiration for future Wonders of Sodor gameplay.

Thomas returns to North York Moors tomorrow, and I look forward to covering the event on my first trip to the line :)
