@ntpntpntp , I did briefly listen to track 2 and noted the very open and forward hi-hat in the mix at the beginning! I am no drummer though - didn't realize that you are!

When I listen to something new (en masse), I tend to give each track about 20 seconds and if it hasn't grabbed me by then I move on to the next one. So, we shall see how it goes in due course.

I have though now listened to all of track 2, bit Hawkwindy in places...

It's US N scale with an emphasis on emerging model railway technology especially DIY and open source systems. Great channel.

I suppose it is hard to argue that British N *needs* something like Jimmy's channel. But it would be nice those of us who enjoy the YouTube format.

I try to support the YouTubers where I can as goodness knows I don't have the time to make videos. It's always a great privilege to see them using my own bits and pieces.

Most seem to be OO, except this pair:

£72 (auction): https://ebay.us/m/ll0lgH

@Newportnobby    @Moonglum  @port perran   It's a very varied mix of stuff, I hope you'll like some of it - some you probably won't   

fyi I was the drummer for track #2 Space Muck Mother, which was a live gig recording back in 1997. Not sure if I can still play it at that speed now - not without a lot of warm-up first anyway!   

A couple of the other tracks I know from bands contemporary with us back in the 90s, but the vast majority are new to me

Likewise.
I'm in the train room for a bit tomorrow  morning doing aa bit of tidying up so a good chance to give that little lot a listen.

Quote from: geofff on Yesterday at 09:13:04 AMCheck for sold prices on Ebay - some are going for over £100.

Fancy 1 of these myself. Looked on the auction site recently - no auctions, but more than a dozen "Buy It Now" being offered. Prices were all around the £130 mark, or more.

Fair enough, doesn't sound like an N gauge channel? As I said, I don't enjoy watching YouTube videos, merely offering a counter to the idea that "N gauge needs someone with the reach of Peachy".

Quote from: njee20 on Yesterday at 01:08:21 PMHere are some N gauge specific channels and sub numbers:

Chandwell: 20100
Great Deltan N gauge: 4540
James Hilton: 4560
Elvenholme: 3650

The DIY & Digital Railroad has 85.6k subscribers at the time of writing.

Wot , mad and French 

They remind me of the sort of act I used to see at down at heel jazz dives in parts of Germany.
