That's a blast from the past @kusojiji ! I recall Roger Whittaker appearing on the TV a lot during the 60s/70s and he only died in 2023. I quite liked "Durham Town", a bit cheesy by today's standards...

He had an interesting past and life story.

Changing the subject slightly - is it possible to choose to ignore a thread on this forum as it is on RMWeb?

Yeah I always get the warm and fuzzies when I see anyone using my stuff,
YouTuber or otherwise!

@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.

@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 :)
