As the name suggests, I like trains. I also love theme parks, all things transport, comedy and the greatest band in the world - Queen. I am a volunteer at the Epping Ongar Railway. All opinions are my own. He/him.

I had my good friend @phall4953.bsky.social looking after me as it was my first day there.

My new video may or may not feature one or two whistles here and there! 😂 youtu.be/OnxSg85oR04?...

The BMR, something new for me. I was volunteering somewhere other than the EOR for once today. I’m so used to working on standard gauge that these things seem like toy trains in comparison. Everything is still done to a professional standard though.

I don’t just like trains you know!

Very London Transport themed today.

One of my favourite locomotives glistening in the sunshine yesterday!

Some rather ominous looking clouds today at Ongar.

If you've ever wondered how a locomotive is delivered to a railway with no mainline rail connection, here's how. If this kind of thing interests you then I recommend watching a TV series called 'Train Truckers'. youtu.be/Yaou98xVYog?...

The less said about the weeks that followed the better but at least it’s running relatively reliably now.

It is officially one year since Hyperia’s opening day, which I attended. I waited over six hours to ride it but it was totally worth it just to say I rode it on opening day!

My YouTube channel has reached 500 subscribers. It may not seem like a lot but considering the railway I’m a part of has around 600 members, it suddenly starts feeling like a lot to me when you compare it to that. youtube.com/@anythingonr...

Such as fantastic locomotive. Such a shame she’ll be leaving soon.

I’m getting to the stage in life where my friends have got jobs they like and girlfriends and stuff like that and I’m sat here with no job, no girlfriend, no social life and very little hope for the future with the current state of the world. Needless to say, I’m not in a great place right now.

The RH&DR 2025 spring gala: Saturday - youtu.be/STnDp2EYgnI?... Sunday - youtu.be/7ISxtxx97b8?...

Whistles, they’re good fun aren’t they! Here’s lots of whistle fun from one of the RH&DR’s galas last year. youtu.be/pQahaGBKYwM?...

A short little video of the Saturday of the 160th anniversary weekend at the EOR. youtu.be/azdKGsO1Yjw?...

I genuinely think Drayton Manor is a better run park than any of the Merlin parks. There I said it! Possibly quite controversial.

Everywhere I go I can’t escape a train! 😂

I’ve come to a theme park that isn’t Alton Towers or Thorpe Park for once!

Such a shame I never got to ride it. 😢

I miss The Flume so god damn much!

I broke Oblivion! 😂 I got stuck on it for almost an hour! I got evacuated from the brake run!

I know ride availability hasn’t been great at Alton Towers recently, but what I’ve seen today so far has been shocking to say the least!

This video doesn’t need any explanation, just watch / listen to it.

“The train arriving on platform 3 will be formed of, wait a minute, how many coaches? How many locos??? How many whistles?????”

“How many locos do you need on this train?” “Yes!”

Diesels doing what they do best! Thrashing! There’s a fair bit of that in this video. youtu.be/ab3urY1NjQM?...

The Epping Ongar Railway celebrating the line’s 160th anniversary in style!

The EOR is celebrating the 160th anniversary of the Loughton to Ongar branch this weekend. I thought this is a better time than any to announce that I am making an up-to-date realistic version of the EOR in Train Sim Classic. Here are couple of pictures of the work I have done on North Weald so far.

Check out my friend's latest video from the Watercress Line's recent steam gala. youtu.be/nWKZDC5n1ZM?...
