What a momentous occasion, seeing this actually be a thing is incredible, a childhood brought back to life 💙

Immensely proud we could do this 🚂

Not even sure why I bother sometimes. Almost 4 years waiting for KR Models' Leader, and faced with a mess in the post today... A dodgy handrail, snapped off details, broken packaging, and a first for a OO gauge mishap, the bogies weren't aligned!

Bogies and handrail fixed thus far, but poor show...

...because it's my job, the last few months have been crazy, so the last thing I wanna do is sit down and keep playing right now 😅 But who knows, maybe 2025 will be when I find the time, and also the courage, it's been so long, starting again is scary. I also wanna experiment with other video ideas

Remember folks, in life, don't let others ruin things for you. Time is limited in this messy world and it can't hurt to have some fun now and then. Be proud of you are, what you enjoy and what you achieve, those experiences don't need to be validated by others if they're constantly unapproving.

And now today; the fleet is going through an interior refresh, the peeling 10th anniversary decals are probably in need of replacement, and while there's been some hiccups along the way (with 008 damaged for the 2nd time!) it's been a wonderful 15 years of Javelin service - here's to the future!

Resonating with me in more ways than one. When I first heard a 395 was going to be getting a trainbow livery, I jumped at the chance to see it, spent all day at St Pancras taking photos of it & it lights up my day if I happen catch a glimpse while out and about. Also glad we managed to do it in-game

Commuting on them every day before the world changed, I got to notice the differences between each member of the class; 015s patchy coloured nose for a few years, the lowest numbers had satin material inside instead of matte, and 024 showing some white undercoat, they're all special

Some highlights from the past years would be; being allowed in the old mock-up at Ebbsfleet, the Regency and Victory Javelin railtours. 5 years ago I celebrated the 10th anniversary by riding on them all day. And the top of the pile, I was incredibly lucky to have a cabride from Ashford to London!

As well as travelling on them over the past 15 years, I've owned Hornby models of the 395 since they first produced them, lost count of how many times I used to watch the pre-production sample videos. And of course, driving it since TS2014, and being involved in SEHS for TSW, it's a core part of me

I do like me an anniversary, and today makes me feel old - Southeastern Highspeed officially commenced on 13th Dec 2009, and I cannot understate how much of an impact the Class 395s and the service they provide have had on my life. I've loved it ever since the first thrill of travelling at 140mph 🚄

Going to see Wicked for the 2nd time, and this time, it's gonna be on the biggest screen 💚🩷

I just wish there was a more appropriate ad on the outside 😅

As 395028 crawls into Strood on a Ramsgate-bound service, I find myself in disbelief that 395008 ended up damaged again last night.. I still remember the day it hit a van in 2017. I hope it's able to be fully repaired in good time 😢🤞

Out on the rails, the joys of a half day 😄
November 29, 2024 at 2:43 PM
A bit of Train Sim World 5 driving from the past couple evenings 😄

Scenario creation is underway...

I have purchased the 4MT Standard Tank for Train Sim, now for the errr... "fun" part, trying to make a scenario 🫠

After an incredibly stressful journey into London, it's time to go West 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Electrostar hype

Very slippy and slidy on the rails this morning 🍂

It's a cold morning, but I much prefer that to it being boiling! As cool clouds cling to the top of the North Downs, it's nice to get some commuter vibes in with an express run to Strood - don't get to do it as often these days!

Bonus video! Managed to capture 69011 and 69008 on 3W75, one of the Tonbridge RHTTs, passing through Paddock Wood in very well-timed fashion 😃

Autumn mood on the rails. It's grey, it's wet, it's miserable, but I look for the beauty in it and enjoy the cooler air while we've got it 🍂🌧

Sunday train vibes 😁

I've not really had much oomph to do anything today, although some model planes arrived 👀✈️ Maybe one day I should do something with my 1:400 collection... a compilation on here, a review series of videos, hell it could even be in ASMR 😅

I did briefly open TSW5 for some gloomy weather vibes though 🌧️

Blasting into the weekend with speed, grace and elegance, of which, I have none 😂

A selection from the archives; railway photography at its amateur...est. My camera is a Nikon Coolpix P610, and it's been on many an adventure with me throughout the years.

Not sure if these have been shared on former platforms or not, but hey if not, now's a good time to share more 🙂
