DJ Dangerous Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The link to @ttc0169's YouTube channel, for anybody wishing to subscribe: https://m.youtube.com/@noelenright5534/videos Don't forget to hit that Bell icon to be notified of all the goodness. Sadly not a Bell Container icon. I think it was @LNERW1, or somebody responding to one of his recent posts about the future of the hobby, decrying the lack of YouTube channels on Irish railway modelling. Any time I log into YouTube, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of Irish railway uploads! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
