A 'Peachy TT120' for British N gauge?

[Michanglais]

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I was wondering whether there was anyone considered as a 'Peachy TT120' for N gauge.

I'm moving over to N gauge from TT120 for my British stuff because I've already got so much Continental and Canadian stuff in N. I've been watching lots of vids on YouTube and there are some excellent N gauge layouts out there. I was wondering whether anyone was considered to be the Peachy for N gauge? He has around 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, whereas there are some N gaugers who have more, but I don't know whether anyone has access to manufacturers, etc. like he does.

It would be great if there was someone to 'champion' N gauge like him. Is there anyone? (If not, would anyone be willing? I'd put myself forward but my modelling skills are pretty basic and I don't have a YouTube channel yet...).

Just wondering. I'm a fan of the Model Rail Replacement Podcast and there's lots of talk about TT120, but very little for N. Seems there's lots of publicity out there for TT120. Maybe that's just because I was following so many people who were either new to modelling or trying it out (perhaps as a novelty or just an experimental layout... not sure). Also, I don't know if Bachmann are as forthcoming with contact with modellers like Hornby seem to be. I guess that could make things more difficult?

I'd love to know your thoughts and opinons!

I think you probably over estimate the influence Peachy has. Everyone has "access" to manufacturers. He has interviewed folk at Hornby, yes, but I'm not sure that he's really made any meaningful difference aside from creating content. I'll be honest I sincerely hope that manufacturers aren't swayed by someone with 3000 YT subscribers.

I really dislike consuming content via YT, just doesn't work for me. There are some successful ones out there for sure, but I'm not sure we need to aspire to having some champion of N gauge in the YT "community".

Perhaps not the same vein as Peachy, but try:
