I can’t wait to see what you’re about to build Craig. Take it easy 👍

Come on, turn the music off, we have to put up with that unnecessary nonsense on the TV.

Not surprised you want to cover that wallpaper!

Good to see you with obvious enthusiasm and va va voom back! Clearly a break and lack of pressure to produce weekly content is working for you and your family. Still think you have one or two rants in you though. Go on, you know you want to!

That was a nice surprise. Enjoy the new build. Look forward to seeing the updates

Brilliant video Iron Horse Railways

So basically the last video was a load of clickbait shite from another KZfaq shitbag grifter?

Great developments Craig, thanks for the update

Cool, like your idea for the magnatrack, be interesting to see you build that. Look forward to seeing your progress dude. Brian

And... He's back! Wot - no spare battery?

Nice one mate. I am looking forward to seeing the new build. I started Hermes Road last month and I love O Gauge. All the best buddy. Peter.

Welcome back….that break was short and sweet. Nice to see you’ve got your mojo back Craig.

Great to see you back craig

I thought my flowery wall paper was shocking in hallway at my place but Craig has taken it to the next level.

OOH - your black wall has gone all flowery! Battery tools are a PITA and always die at the wrong moment!

Nice to see u back look forward to new build

Interesting new build, looking forward to the progress

Thsts some wallpaper.

If you use all wheel drive diesels like a Bachmann class 37, Hornby class 60 you won't have any issues with gradients. If you are using steam, then yes you'll need something like DCC Concepts power base etc

I'm looking forward to seeing this new build take shape, I hope you're enjoying the break. :)

Great stuff hope you enjoyed your break

Good luck mate, look forward to seeing the upside down trains 🚂 how you gonna keep the coal in the tenders? 😅

Nice see you back, looking forward to see the new build!

Who on Earth have you expropriate so that your layout room gets fancy wallpaper like that?! 😜 looking forward to it as I’m building a new one too!

Thank you for all your brilliant videos Iron Horse Railways. 😃😎🙂

It’s Aaronville here 👍

Enjoy as and when you want to.. number 1 rule. Hope to meet one day… see you on Jenny’s channel again… that’s always fun..

Craig I hope you stick around you are up front but still saying the things others will not. Getting expensive stuff falling apart not working. Plus please more gassing Jenny. HAHAHA

Thanks for keeping me entertained - thoroughly understand what you’re doing - best of luck to you 👍👍

Whatever you decide Craig I wish you the best. I've always enjoyed the heartfelt emotion you put into your content and I hope you can post from time to time.

Old Skool!! - Decent watched this a couple of days ago and forgot to comment so came back to comment now that blue 37 is 👌 in fact it all is 👍👍

Craig, cant agree with your sentiments more, my channel went from regular posts to sporadic ones. The time it takes to create videos of the work being done on the layout or reviewing locos, rolling stock, or other products takes away from time spent enjoying the hobby or spent with family and friends. All the best mate, do what's right for you and your family. Will look out for your content as and when it appears!

Hi buddy. I am sorry to hear that you have stopped the videos. Although I may not always comment on all uploads. But when I talk to you on here, its like having a long lost friend and I enjoyed the content. That said, I respect your decision and I encourage you to please continue to do the things you love and I wish you all the best for the future.

Craig, I have only recently stumbled accross your channel and really like your content. Whatever you decide to do, all the best, and thanks!

Good luck Buddy and thanks for the channel

I enjoy your honest thoughts and whether i agree 100% all the time is neither here nor there, it's being able to accept other people have differing views and experiences which sadly these days seems people cant accept any other viewpoint other than their own. If it's weekly, fortnightly, or once a month, i will keep an eye out for your content. If you do anything at all, keep being true to yourself and honest!

I fully understand where you are coming from. Thanks for your time. Until we meet again, look after yourself Craig

Craig you have made the right call. Family does come first. Winston Churchill once said, "This is the end nor is it the beginning, but it is the end of the beginning. " From an old bloke from across the pond. Bill from California.

As has already been said, will miss your weekly vids, but you have to look after yourself, and I know it is difficult to avoid the rivet counters, but keep going. Your videos mean so much.

Sorry to see you end the weeklys but do what makes you happy and thank you for your fair and balanced views! I enjoy your content so good luck on the next steps and looking forward to it. A very personal video so appreciate it!

NO! Don`t stop! Best of luck for the future, I`ve enjoyed the channel more than any other model railway one.

Also, "undirty" needs to be a word.

We need pink lenses.

I can't claim to have watched all your videos, but sometimes the topics do appeal to me and I click on them to hear your thoughts. Sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't, but I like how you present and share your opinions. I used to go in Beatties just off the Headrow too, great memories. Good luck from a fellow Leeds lad.

You are a great channel, and I have always enjoyed watching your content! You definitely deserve a break 😊. I joined your channel later so I still have loads more episodes to watch 🎉. You fit into KZfaq perfectly, I watch Sams trains for fun, you for fun and news and then I watch loads of others for information and entertainment. Kind regards, Gatherley modeller 😊

By ‘eck our Craig. what a bombshell.. whatever you do next, do it with your cap on

Well I will also miss my weekly escape from my mundane life…. I must say I’m not 100% surprised by this announcement, you seem to have been in a bit of burn out over the last few months. A loss of focus… change to N scale….. change back….. go from modern image OO to 1960s…. YouTubing I’m sure takes a big toll in itself….. Charlie at Chadwick a few years ago went from weekly to fortnightly purely due to time constraints and having a life outside KZfaq as I recall. There are many channels out there now, with new ones popping up every month, but being unique is one of your greatest strengths. Having a rant video (tongue-in-cheek) I personally found refreshing, as well as enjoyable. Do what makes you happy in life Craig… I for one won’t criticise you for needing to prioritise your life buddy. Good luck…. And I will click as and when you do post any other videos…

Hiya Craig, I think most people Completely get where you are coming from. Time is precious enough with work commitments and having a family without feeling like the need to continually film, edit and put up videos on a weekly basis. But I would like to say that Ive appreciated, your well balanced and honest views about things and the integrity youve shown throughout. I wish you all the best in whatever content you decide to do going forward. 👍

I've sensed your frustration with the hobby for weeks/months now. I share that frustration. Have a break, have a rethink and recharge your batteries. There's a sense you're on a bit of a downer but you'll pick up. Model raiways is not only a great hobby but also (strangely) I look apon it as a great friend. A friend that never leaves you. So, cheer up, you'll be back....

Hi. At first I thought you were completely going to but glad to find out it’s just the weekly episodes. I knew something was going on as you were no longer replying to comments. I can only imagine how much time it takes as it’s extremely time consuming. Playing trains and doing videos! lol. My only advice is do not allow the making of videos ruin your enjoyment of the hobby and passion you have for railways. Like you, I have similar fond memories of Hattons (not beatties, too expensive). Think positive, onward and upward Craigie boy!
