Introducing Lawrie's Meniacal Minions

[@FoxfieldRailwayOfficial]

We would sponsor this series.

[@Heruss100]

As one of the minions...it annoys me that works.

Lol

[@Hyce777]

Props to you for showing off the folks behind-the-scenes mate! :)

[@lmm]

Thanks buddy!

[@notmuch_23]

Thank you for all the work you put in to make these excellent videos Ben, and the rest of the camera and editing crew.

[@bwilesuk]

😊 thank you

[@modelrailfan37]

Ben did a great job! I’d really like to see more like this, always neat to have something different!

[@bwilesuk]

Thank you 😊

[@bentullett6068]

Great to see the hard work required to film Lawries videos. I am finding that promoting your heritage railways or museums via the power of social media and KZbin do help attract not just the UK enthusiasts but other enthusiasts from other parts of the world who may decide to visit the railway or museum at some point. Even starting off filming short videos with a smartphone can help massively. A lot of my recent visits to museums and railways have been down to watching Lawrie and other KZbinrs featuring them on their channels.

[@lmm]

Thank you very much!

[@Arkay315]

Next episode- the lackies push Lawrie down the line in a freight car I also love the shots of the locomotives steaming up in the yard.

[@daviobryker]

❤ this behind the scenes look at your footage collecting. Hope you do more when you can

[@carolinecleaveley-q1r]

Thanks Lawrie (& Ben) for the behind the scenes stuff! 🙏🙏

[@bwilesuk]

Thank YOU for watching

[@Trainsaregreat365]

I love statfold barn

[@gs425]

That was a really good video to watch! I'm sure I'm ot alone in assuming that Matt was lawries cameraman

[@lmm]

Matt hasn't actually done anything for the channel in almost a year.

[@2760ade]

Great video. Ben is a very natural presenter! Perhaps you should swap roles.🤣

[@bwilesuk]

Ooo I don’t know about that. I know diddly squat about engines

[@kymvalleygardensdesign5350]

One of the best well done

[@leightonmoreland]

Glad to see Lawrie's Lackies getting the spotlight! It's good to see how the sausage is made. KZbin isn't for the faint of heart

[@CrilG-Games]

i love the editing in this video! its amazing!

[@bwilesuk]

You’re quite kind

[@mikesanders5433]

What an excellent video, massive credit to all of the team and Lawrie for the amazing content you guys produce time and time again. You enjoy that half doughnut Ben! 😂

[@bwilesuk]

*wipes face* shhhh! What doughnut? 😮 😅

That intro was so funny 😅😅😅

[@Dhira108]

It's only a slight drizzle come to Wales were it actually rains 😂😂😂 Great to see the effort taken to produce some of the video clips

[@britannia-foundry]

Congratulations Ben the narration and editing made it very watchable and that is the most important thing (watch out Lawrie you could be out of a job) ha ha

[@bwilesuk]

Thank you - I couldn’t replace Lawrie though!

[@The_Incredible_Bulk1962]

Great work Ben!!

[@bwilesuk]

Thank you

[@Trainsaregreat365]

I think ben did a great job filming this video

[@bwilesuk]

Thank you 🙏🏻 it was nice to be allowed to go film and fly broadly everywhere across site.

[@SeaKing61]

Ben must be bloody tall to get some of those overhead shots.

[@bwilesuk]

So tall

[@bentonbuilds3525]

Legend says Lawrie is still sleeping in that coach til this very day. In all seriousness though, this video was very entertaining to watch and gives some good insight into what goes on within some of these videos. Very well done, and can't wait to see the next episode. 😄👍

[@charles5399]

I have no idea what you mean about it being wet that day... i only had to dry out twice per hour

[@bwilesuk]

Just damp then!

[@gs425]

Lawrie, Lorie, Lorry ...... please ...its SCONE,not SCONN. As a Devonshire lad (we invented cream teas), I should know 😋

[@lmm]

Tbh, I normally call it a scone when sweet and a scon when savery. But it was presented to me as a Scon, soooo I did as told

[@gs425]

@lmm When do you ever do as told hahahah. Great video lawrie. And as always thanks for taking the trouble to reply my good man!

[@skystriker4459]

Out of curiosity when was this recorded because I started volunteering there and I want to know if I missed meeting lmm

[@lmm]

This was the first Enthusiast Day of the year. I'll be back for more events later 😂

[@bwilesuk]

@@lmm well the problem is I'm trying to produce similar content as you. But I've got to do everything by myself and with Lawrie getting help and sponsorship it upsets me.

[@lmm]

@@stevengorick187 @stevengorick187 I've gone without taking a wage for 5 years trying to make the channel work. It's not quite there. It's taken 5 years to be able to get a regular sponsor. Getting a sponsor means that I can survive and continue to make content. There's almost 450 videos across my channel in that time, don't you think I deserve a break?

[@stevengorick187]

@@lmm of course you deserve a break

@@stevengorick187 I mean, you don't really do similar content from a quick glance mate, you visit places with a camera like any other visitor can and does do. Also, 2 years and 59 vids vs 5 years and 447...
