[@hollpoll]

Thanks for your best wishes glad you enjoyed a brief look at the layout, Stewart

[@Scraxivele]

Been watching this channel since I was a young teenager, always loved your work, hopefully you get to enjoy the hobby for the rest of your days, the content will be missed. You kept me interested the hobby when I had no time or money to participate in it myself 😊.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Taylor much appreciated

[@ErimusMicroRailway]

First visit to your channel and find that I have come in at the end rather than the beginning, not to worry, hope you get many more happy years with your layout.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks for the kind comments, there are plenty older videos to watch !All the best Hollpoll

[@Tauraco00]

Absolutely wonderful layout...Your work has paid off....So sorry you have these medical issues...The railway must give you a lot of joy....

[@hollpoll]

Thank you for the kind comments yes the railway keeps me going from day to day take care Stewart

[@fircombehallrailwayoogauge1430]

Lovely running session!

[@andrewr2825]

Seasons greetings Stewart. Thanks for our (your subscribers) Christmas present in your video. Like you say - it’s my railway, I’ll run what I like! Same as me. And I agree in many ways in returning production of some loco manufacturing back to the UK. It might happen - who knows? Yours is a fantastic layout, and I hope remains for as long as you can. Take care, and trust your back doesn’t give you much grief looking ahead. All the best for 2023!

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Andrew

Hi Hollpoll, very sorry to hear of your continued back pain. I know how it can make everyday life very draining. Getting down to rail level and filming can be particularly difficult. However, if you can manage it, please carry on posting the videos. As you rightly say, there are lots of great youtube channels for model railways, but your layout has got to be one of the most enjoyable to watch. There's something interesting in every shot, and I love watching your trains go by. This Pommie even enjoys the Aussie accent! Best wishes for 2023.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Richard for the kind comments they are greatly appreciated and encouraging. Take care and all the best for the forthcoming year, Stewart

[@royston600]

Great job keep going and videotaping regards from England 👍

[@leoroverman4541]

Well done. Oh to be blessed with so much room. Keep well

[@hollpoll]

The layout is in what was the double garage, thanks for your support Stewart

[@leoroverman4541]

@@hollpoll , well you're welcome. I do hope your'e back gets better. I'm in my seventies myself and mobility is an issue. I have a small layout 8'6 by 3'6 so I am rather limited,. but it works. much fun is had.

[@amandamoger9648]

Always an inspirational layout Holl......do as you can and enjoy it, health does not help, new hip here and tiredness from covid don't help....regards for the new year etc from Tasmania........

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Amanda all the best for 2023 to you too, Stewart

[@martinpattison1567]

I was going to say in this comment section, it would be nice to have some more views of your layout and then you did. I think you have made a superb layout and I do hope to see it again. Sorry, to hear about your medical problem and I do hope it will get better in time. Martin (Thailand) Happy New Year.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks very much Martin I am greatly encouraged by the level of support I have received, all the best for 2023,Stewart

[@davidcann4329]

Hi Stewart, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, sorry to hear that you are still suffering from sciatica, I'm sure if you have any problems with your layout, there must be someone that will be willing to help you out. I really like your videos and attention to detail, and I agree that you should run whatever you like as it's your railway.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks very much David

[@AllensTrains]

Hi Stewart, You are lucky it is only your back that has given up the ghost! I had to have vitrectomy in both eyes due to detached retinas. I can see well enough to operate the layout, but things like soldering are difficult! Thanks for uploading.

[@hollpoll]

Guess what, I also have had vitrectomy in both eyes too !! But my floaters were due to my extreme short sightedness when I was growing up and kicked in at about sixty years of age and my sight is A1 now. Thanks for watching and commenting always good to hear from fellow model railway enthusiasts, take care all the best for 2023, Stewart

[@AllensTrains]

@@hollpoll You were lucky you only got floaters and not a detached retina! Thanks for uploading. Keep the videos coming - they are always entertaining!

[@stretchedits]

Hi, Whenever I see your layout I wonder how you manage to find any more space to fit one more bit in. I guess now I know, you can't! Sorry to hear about your back issues, I hope it gets better soon and doesn't stop you modelling............All the best Dave.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks for those kind word Dave greatly appreciated Stewart

[@howarth004]

Sorry the op has not cured your problem Stuart , sciatica is painful , luckily mine went after about 18 months but arthritis moves around so we just soldier on , nice show of your layout … like you carnt understand why HORNBY did not bring manufacturing back to Margate .. Late Happy Christmas .. all the best for the New Year

[@hollpoll]

All the best for 2023 Dave thanks for the kind words mate, Stewart

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I hope your railway will be kept standing. I'm in need of a pick-me-up, and I believe the one GWR steamy who can do that is City of Truro. My Mum met someone who's got Covid, and she's tested negative so far. I'm staying home to be safe, but it means I have to spend Christmas all alone with no-one to cuddle. Please run City of Truro. She is my beloved steamy daughter, and I don't know what I'd do without seeing her running on your railway.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Kelly

[@Trainsbigandsmall]

Hornby must have done some market research like a focus group to get an idea if TT is worth it sure was not worth decades ago when Triang attempted. Maybe with more people living in smaller homes, maybe? Best to stay with OO scale it will take many years of waiting to get a good selection of rolling stock.

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi Stewart, I am so sorry to hear of your troubles and yes a bad back is the last thing you need to do our hobby but with a super layout like you have I hope you will get many more years of enjoyment from running trains and maybe doing an occasional running session for us. I do so hope that the back will improve and that you will be able to enjoy life a little more. I agree with you the way YT works can make us feel we are not very good at doing videos and we put all our time for free and get little reward but thats how it is and I feel the same so am just going to do far less videos and make them simpler and be happy doing that. I wish you all down there a belated Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers Robert.

[@hollpoll]

Thanks Robert I always enjoy your videos too and always impressed how you embraced the latest technologies ! Hope things improve for you over there have a new loco coming from Rails and am wondering if I will ever see it ! Have a good 2023 mate Stewart

[@ewoodrailway]

Look# great

[@jkb1955]

Hi there, I think hornby have made a mistake with this TT 120 ,they would have been better off producing a range of HO trains which is more widespread world wide.

[@hollpoll]

Hornby do own several other companies including Riverossi who manufacture HO models, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
