No-one deserves that more than you Keith. It could be bettered. Come on you model manufacturers small and large, let's have one in N and OO. Cheers, Bob

Aww that's amazing. Well deserved Keith. Being disabled and not able to travel much I love your videos. They mean a lot to me. Your positivity rubs off! Get well soon!

Fantastic Keith thank you for showing take care mate all our love to Lady June

That’s brilliant, hope the wagon spreads the word to any potential smilers out there

Thats awesome Keith. Everybodywill be keeping a look out for that wagon now. All the best to you.

A perfect tribute to you I love watching your videos it cheers my day up allways

Brilliant. Just one thing Keith , we wouldn't be here if not for you. Keep smiling.

Nicely done to the graffiti artiste, hopefully this will be spotted for years to come, Enjoy it Keith

Brilliant sharing sir! Thank you!

How good would it be to see this at Wellingborough. Train makes a brief stop for a crew change and you jump in front of the wagon for a quick selfie! 👍

Nice to hear someone made this wonderful surprise for you! That is also a very nice mug in your hand, Keith! Warm regards from Poland!

Very naughty drawing on that wagon, but hey, what a wonderful tribute Keith. Hope to see you back on the rails soon.

Wonderful, I should be so lucky,well done Keith.

Thanks Keith. Get well soon and keep smiling - it keeps us young!

Thanks for sharing the picture with us. It came out great!

Will be watching out for the wagon Keith, hope your health picks up mate and you can get out and make some more tremendous videos. Best wishes.

Hi Keith. That's a real honour to have that painted but looking at it to me it reminds me of TMC near Whitby who paint model railway wagons for a layout. My be it will appear on New Junction model railway layout. All the best and let's hope you're out and about soon.

Much as I detest graffiti on trains, very much making an exception for this one... Bloody fantastic! Keep the videos coming mate x

Wow, now that's quite something! While I can't condone graffiti and the trespassing involved, the fact that someone has taken the time to immortalise you on a wagon is pretty special and shows how well you're known and followed. I shall keep my eye out for that!

Oh what a lovely surprise for you Keith sorry if you're not been well but glad your getting better take care my dear friend

Brilliant Keith! What a tribute. Well deserved! Hope you're on the mend good sir, chin up!

that looks brill keith it proves your the train man stay well mate

Forget about the locos, we'll all be looking out for your wagon now Keith. An honour for you, hope you feel well again soon, so you can get out and hunt it down.

So Awesome, Keith! Love from Matt 🙂

Awesome !!! Hope you get better soon Mr. Smile 😂😂😂.

Great stuff, love the wagon and smilers, hope your on mend soon

I love this! Great to see you Keith, glad you’re doing ok even if you can’t get out at the moment.

Keith now you have to keep and eye out for it when you are filming your video on trains I love it

We shall all be watching wagons now for this new livery 😁

I've just found your channel and already love it! You absolutely deserve this honour!

Hi Keith. So this is an HIA wagon numbered in the 369xxx range and are still in service and operated by Freightliner. They run out of the Peak District quarries a lot but are used across the country, in the case of the Peak flows with limestone. Most likely at Barrow Hill during the weekend or a few days rest given Freightliner stable its wagons at Barrow Hill when not in use due to a lack of space up at Tunstead/Peak Forest. I hope this information is useful to you. I would certainly look out on the Freightliner Peak District trains that use these hoppers for this wagon.

Yes Keith that is what I was telling you I saw it at the beginning of the week, and I'm sure it was on facebook. You are certainly a star now mate.

Good to see you Keith. I bet that put a SMILE on your face 😃

Random acts of kindness, outstanding!

Fantastic.

A truly well deserved tribute, seems less chaotic than the real thing 🤣🤣, wishing you a speedy recovery to full health and getting out and about again.

A superb tribute to you Keith. I hope you are out and about again soon. Jeff.

Oh Wow!!! That is fantastic! Although my early spotting days were around your neck of the woods (primarily Willesden to Watford), I ended up moving to Bristol at 16. We Bristolians make a point of celebrating our cultural heroes with street art (Dutty Ken, Jen Reid, DJ Derek, and so on). So in my eyes,it is only right that you Keith, a cultural hero of us here on KZfaq, is celebrated in the same way. Now living out here in the desert (even further away than Bristol), I love watching your videos as they take me back down memory lane. Wishing you a speedy recovery, so that you can get back out and see your wagon in action. Big Love to you sir ❤

Keith, congratulations that’s a very apt tribute to you. I hope you are feeling better soon

😂 That's cool! 👍

Hopefully I get to see this train car with this drawing when I come over in late April early May...Hopefully...

Brilliant artwork.l hate graffiti;but that’s a great ,tasteful tribute to a smiley videographer.Wish you well Mr Smile and Hope you can get out soon to bring your viewers more great videos 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yes went on the class 56 farewell rail tour your wagon is on the loop out side barrow hill,what I here the have not moved for years so they paint them,get well 😢

Keep smiling love your videos

Great stuff! 😁

Get well soon mate I do enjoy your videos

Nice one Keith! :) like others here, I hate seeing graffiti, but have no problems seeing true street art covering up the mindless scribbles of tagging. It is often a pleasant change, as in this case. Stay strong, stay safe. and keep warm.

Love your videos, hope you can get out soon 👍👍👍

Keith, What a great accolade to you and justly deserved. Regards, John

Now we need some manufacturer to produce that in model form Keith!

How good is that Keith. A tribute to a railway icon. Hope you will be feeling better soon. I really enjoy watching your videos here in Maroochydore Australia. John

All the very best!

Nice one Keith!

I have that exact same mug! :D

Let’s hope it’s a GBRF wagon that is absolutely awesome Keith. Well deserved In recognition of your video work around the country . Fame at last most get locos named after them you get a full wagon .

Lovely can't wait to see it in a video x

Don't be Koi Keith, we all know it was you who snuck out late at night armed with a Tesco carrier bag full of paint cans... 🙂 - I don't agree with graffiti on rolling stock, but can make an exception on this occasion, it's a nice tribute to you. Hope you and Lady June are keeping well. Stay warm and stay well

Fantastic tribute to you I love it ❤

Hello Keith, this is amazing, hats off to the artist! I hope you get well soon, your videos really brighten my day and your energy and passion for the railway is infectious. I make railway videos too and would love to talk about working together. Do you have an email address I can send an email to? Very best wishes.

Nice to have some recognition for all the effort you make to share great videos of your rail adventures. I'll look out for the 'Smile' wagon when I'm out and about again Keith.. Take care, cheers, Brian

Now, I don't normally like a lot of the graffiti I see on the trains but whoever did that painting must have been at it all night! It's just Fantastic. You have had us SMILERS everywhere some of us can't go and thank you for taking us along with you on your hobby too. I do hope you get to feeling better soon and get yourself a nice whisky, sir. Keep Warm and Keep Safe. All the best wishes Keith. Adam.

Good evening Keith how are you today buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy

An amazing tribute to you Keith, I’ve managed to catch it coming passed up to Tunstead this morning 🙂

I saw it on the 56 tour 😊 parked up in the freightliner yard by barrow hill 😊

That was superb graffiti artwork 👍

Come on Keith, we all know you really painted it. Up that ladder with your spray cans in the dead of night... Usually I abhor graffiti, but I think we can make an exception for this one. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Fame at last. Well deserved. Great news Keith.

Great artwork that you truly deserve Keith. What will be next? Given your enthusiasm for them, how about a track machine named after you? Hello Colas, Loram....🤔

Love it! but he forgot one thing, The KZfaq Logo🙃🙃🙃

Fame at last Keith. Great that you've got recognition at last.. Well done 🤓

Looks fantastic Keith, I have a video of it. I can post it if you like, and dedicate it to you! Was great to see it, I think it looks brilliant! Have an awesome day! Cheers, Jamie

Would be amazing if you could capture your wagon through your camera when you get out again,hoping it's very soon.

And yes it is Barrow Hill sidings

Keith - Apologies photo not great as I took it out of the window on the 56 tour - I had to quickly clamber out of my seat! I sent it to Dave straight away! All the best Ashley
