Model Railways and Me

This is a channel showcasing my devotion and routine to a hobby that not only benefits #mentalhealth and can be therapeutic, 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.

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 :)

Some news ahead of this weekend

After a faulty setback on receiving the 4K Camera, which has now been sent back, i'll be covering this weekends Pontefract event as before with the phonecam, but rest assured, i'm still aiming for a 4K upgrade before Doncaster.

On a more positive note, 11k followers have been hit on TikTok ^^

Thanks, guys.

With the Christmas decs down and the flu given the heave ho, ModelRailwaysandMe kicks off 2026 with my first repair video, then begin my main coverage of exhibitions, starting with Pontefract on the 24th, followed by a TWO day visit this year to Doncaster's Festival of Railway Modelling... with some more familiar friends, layouts... and maybe the odd TUG or two ;)

There will, of course, be more shorts pending finds and ideas, so be sure to stay tuned and enjoy what's to come for 2026 ^^

I have decided to close the Bluesky page after falling behind on updates there. The platform was barely used anyway.

Please do, however, continue to follow me here, along with my additional TikTok and X pages, too :)

I've noticed the Hornby Collector Guide is no longer updating, so here is the complete service sheet for the R450 Smoke Generator, for those who may need it for their 80s smoking locos.

HQ versions can be viewed on my Twitter page.
