- I'm here! Boy have I been through some "stuff". Watch the video to find out what happened, if you wish to know more!
After this debacle, watch for more "regular" uploads to the channel.
And thanks for watching!
Hard to believe that one could miss babbling but it’s true. I miss a good 15 minute conversation on whether to put a garden hose on the water spigot on the back of a house that’s barely visible from anywhere on the layout! Good to have you back.
Get better Rob, we missed you.
Your landscaping is so beautiful. I’m the modelbuilder at our house, but my husband accidentally took a look at my screen when your layout was in full view. He was very impressed with your scenery. That’s saying a lot. The transitions between your backdrop and trees/hills are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your immaculate craft.
So glad to see you back and to hear you are on the mend! You have been an inspiration to me over the years and your scenery work has set gold standard for the hobby. Thank you for the hours of instruction and entertainment you've given me and the rest of your subscribers.
hope your health issues are now behind you; this layout is always a jewel for the eyes
You certainly ‘go through the wars’ with your health, but thankfully your back again, let’s hope on the way to a full recovery. Also, it is good to hear someone being honest with regard to what has occurred to them especially as many people would rather not talk about such matters. Anyway, it’s great to have you back and an inspiration to us to us all, I ‘m certainly happy to listen to you ‘Babbling On’ anytime ! Take care and thank you for what you do and show us.
By the number of comments and well wishes here I hope you know that you are loved and appreciated. You are, dare I say it, a "rock star" of the U tube model RR community. Get well and stay well and keep on rocking down the tracks.
….”welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside come inside!” Glad to see you back! Prayers for your health! Looking forward….! 🫡✌️
This might be hard to describe, but should help you solder with one eye. You need a light on your desk (Not Diffused, but a focused light) in front of your chest 90 degrees to your table top pointing away from you. Put a vertical white card that the light will shine on behind the work you are going to solder. As you look down with your one good eye, you should be able to see the X and Y axis. Your problem with not having 2 eyes is depth so the iron might be too high or too low. you can not detect that. What you can see is the shadow of your iron and your work line up on the white card you placed at 90 degrees to your work. this will let you see if you are too high or to low. just line the shadows up. You can adjust the card to 45 leaning back or what ever you feel works for you. The goal is to see the 2 shadows line up.
Damn- good idea! I will do this, sounds like a good way to "see" things.
Glad your ok Rob , your layout has been an inspiration to myself and I'm sure many others , I hope you sit down there often and enjoy the scenes you have created and give yourself an enormous amount of credit for the dedication you've put in to not only your layout but countless other layouts out there in model railway/you tube land through sharing your video's and babbles 🙂 Thanks as always. Richard.
Hi Mr Bennett I’m from Brazil and a huge admirer of your layout. I was hopping your absence had nothing to do with health issues, seems it did, I wish you the best, we do care and can’t thank you enough for sharing such Beauty and knowledge with us all. Best regards and take care =)
Glad to see you back Rob. I'm praying for you man. You've seen a lot of trials and tribulations over the last few years but have come out on top which means a whole heck of a lot. Thank you for the update on the layout, but most importantly, the update about you.
Great to have you back, hope you keep getting better. I've missed your good humour and joy in modelling.
so glad to see you back, Rob. Wishing you the very best of luck with your health. Heres to many more years of model railroading!! You are by far one of the most inspiring model railroaders out there!
Great to see you back on your layout and in good health. Mike HO from Aussie
Great to have you back Rob , don't say "if anyone cares .. WE ALL CARE!! STAY WELL !
Hi 👋🏻 Steve. So glad you’re on the road to recovery and look well 😊 Always good seeing your layout 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 🏴
Wow! Your new camera is superb! So sharp and clear, great colour too. Finally you have the means to show your modelling properly. Scenery and weathering looking splendid a real pleasure to watch. Get well soon Rob. btw
What an outstanding layout. Actually looks like an area miniaturised by, ABRACADABRA!!! Thank you, sir. What a masterpiece. much appreciated 🙏
I'm very glad you're back Stephen... I enjoy you and videos very very much! Arthur (Ngai)
As I always say to my wife, It's a good thing you're not a horse...she doesn't appreciate my humor. I've been waiting for an operation session video since before the virus. Looking forward to that and all the other updates on one of my favorite layouts. Happy to see you back and stay well, my friend.
Steve, so sorry to hear about your health issues. Sounds like you're on the road to recovery. Praise the Lord! The layout looks incredible! Hope you'll have someone video the next operating session, would LOVE to see trains runnin' on that beautiful pike! Will be praying for your quick and uneventful recovery!
Hi Rob. Sorry to hear you've been dealing with so much. Best wishes for your recovery. ---- Nice Bessemer Fs
Sorry to hear about your setbacks. Glad to see you back and hopefully on the mend. Looking forward to future videos.
Glad to see you are back! The layout looks great as always. Sounds like you have some good plans ahead. Sorry to hear about your medical issues. Thanks for the update and hope you feel better soon! Take care!

It's great (and a bit of a relief) to hear from you.
Its strange how one can become attacked to someone you have never met but I have. Had a few health issues myself so I can empathise with you.
So glad to see you again good luck with the comeback.
So sorry to hear about your medical issues Rob. Really enjoy your channel and superb layout.
Good to see and hear from you again. Hoping your health issues will improve greatly. Looking forward to seeing your layout in person when you are able.
Really good to see you back ,watching from the UK Hope you get back to full health soon,best wishes .
Glad to see ya back! Now go get better! I am positive I'm not the only one who is inspired by you and your layout. I definitely am! Play when you can but more importantly do what is needed for you to get better! Happy model railroading!
I'm really glad to hear you're on the mend Rob. I kinda know how you feel. Keep it together and have some fun, Chris
Very glad to know that you're doing OK. Sounds like you've had some tough months, but brighter days lie ahead! Your layout looks fantastic .... so much excellent detail and realism. Sending best wishes your way! Mike
Please get better sir! You’re in my thoughts. You are one of the best modelers I have ever had to pleasure to learn from
Great to see/ hear from you. Please keep taking care of yourself. I was running out of conversations with my wife!!😂 Glad you are back!
Welcome back Rob! Have to say, no one can lay things out like you do. That small town area with the tractors on the ramp is just so believable. Glad you're on the mend.
Glad to see you back and doing better Rob.
Good to see you again, Rob! Hope everything goes well for you in recuperation. I always enjoy watching your progress on the railroad, but your well being is som much more important. Looking forward to more updates, when you are able.
We do care Rob. I’ve missed your videos and I may be an odd duck but I really like your looong posts on how we do it. Best wishes for better health.
Glad to see you back Stephen - especially alive and kicking - glad to watch when you have some new content - Stay Safe - Good Luck!
A little late at commenting but im glad you are doing well and your layout is an inspiration for me. Your humor makes your content even more entertaining as well. Be blessed and cant for more builds and shenanigans! - Joey
Very pleased to see you back Rob, was thinking about you this very evening (here in the Netherlands) and amazingly a video popped up ;-) Good to know you're on the mend! Rgds, Joachim

Glad to have you back, Rob! I enjoy the rambling videos, especially as I’m building kits.
Glad to see you back Steve ... take good care so you have a full recovery ... God Bless ...
Hope you continue to feel better
Sorry to hear about your health issues, hope all ends well Steve. Your layout doesn't have mistakes, you have done a beautiful job. Been watching you build it for years. I drive for a living, your tinkering and building has kept me company for hundreds of thousands of miles.😊

Rob , Sorry to hear of the medical issues, I pray God heals you and that better days are ahead. Beautiful modelling as always. I always enjoy seeing your awesome masterpiece.
Oh boy, Stephen. What a time you've had. Getting old seems to be one d*mn thing after another, but it's still better than the alternative. Glad you are on the mend and will be making more videos. But take some time to smell the roses too, OK? Cheers from Wisconsin!
Hi Rob, sorry to hear you have been unwell. Pleased you are back. I love watching your building videos so I look forward to that kit.
All the best Anthony.
Glad your back, hope all is well with you and your layout is looking great.
I hope your health continues to improve and your eyesight comes back to normal. The layout is absolutely amazing. I see my cat, Sneakers, has been reincarnated and is living with you; he passed away a few years ago. He looks exactly like your cat.
Hang in there Bob! Things will be getting better for you.
Keep doing, what you doing!
Your doing great with that beautiful layout, too.
So good to see you back Rob and to hear that cheery voice . Wish you all the best going forward .
Rob, ... Yikes! That is definitely some "stuff" to have gone through. I am glad you are feeling better and agree that an ops session is just what the Dr. ordered. Scott
It's great to hear a familiar voice again. Glad you're back.
Hi there! Glad to see you back. I'm pretty new to your channel, but have been eagerly devouring your back catalogue! Your laying is looking fantastic. One of my favourite CZcams layouts along with Everard Junction in the UK. Attention to detail is what really grabs me, and you sir have it down pat. Best of luck with your health issues. Cheers!
Rob the horizon lays in front of every person lets keep steaming into it. Get well soon brother, love from the UK!!!!!!!!!
I am a RN and see viruses, bacteria & such all the time. All I can figure is the earth is trying to kill us....ughhh. Glad you're doing better.
Hey Rob, it's great to see you. Sorry for all you've been going through. Hope things all continue to improve.
Glad to see you are doing Okay. There aren't many model railroaders who can compare to what you do.
Glad to hear your on the mend, hope eye sight gets better without another surgery. Stay safe and prayers for better health.
Glad you are on the mend and able to think about model railroading again. Your stuff looks really great with the weathering and other realism.
I had a 270 degree retinal detachment back in 2005. You will get used to the diminished
vision (somewhat), but it is better than losing the total vision in the eye. Stay patient and
keep getting better. And use a good magnifying glass too!
Getting old is a b--ch. Glad to see you still kicking around. Thanks for the update
Happy to see you back again. Me and my wife we enjoy your video's. Greetings from Cor and Clara the Netherlands.
Glad you're back, I'll talk to the dispatcher about keeping you on the road to recovery.
Good to ser You back!! The cat is Stanley as in the "saga of Stanley", oh boy, that brings me back a few years ago... When your son used to help, but girls came by... Cheers My friend!!!
Rough end to last year and start to this one! Glad to hear your voice and see the layout again, it means you're on your way to recovery. I think the new camera looks good and I really liked the way the NKP locomotives turned out, your modeling is still outstanding. God speed brother, looking forward to your next post.
Glad to have you back I've missed your humorous videos
Glad to see you back! Oh, these human bodies we live in, always something going on. Layout is looking great. I literally just picked up that very same yard office kit! Looking forward to your video on it. Have a good one!
Hope you get better! Thank you for the great videos. All the best from South Africa
Your health comes first, but glad you're back. Always enjoyed your videos.
Love your videos! Glad to see you back.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Some great progress!
I have watched hours of your videos, love your content. Thanks for sharing, glad you’re feeling a bit better. Best wishes!
Sorry to hear about your health issues - here is to a speedy recovery! Layout is superb - enjoy all of your videos.
I'm so sorry to hear of your medical issues. I pray your okay. You are my number one modeler and I enjoy your videos very much! I'm sure God will take care of you
Good to see you again! Model railroading is perfect for little projects that fit the time available.
As for your vision, have you tried modelling with a patch over your wonky eye? It's one thing to develop depth perception with only one eye but it's something else when the wonky eye is throwing incorrect vision into the mix.
Good luck, my friend. We're cheering for you!
Your layout looks incredible I really love it.
Been a long 2023 for ya already Stephen! Glad to see you back :) Hope the rest of the year is more calm for you
Glad to see you are doing better. Had actually searched for you to see if maybe I had missed an update. Hope everything gets better. Thank you for the update.
Good to see you again! Keep getting better, love you content! My cat Samantha, died Monday morning March 27th.
Rob. Great that you're back. But what's better you have your health. Thanks for taking the time for the update on you and the layout. Take care.
Welcome back Rob. Great to see your videos again. You been missed by myself and the Network Rail Air Operations team. Stay Safe and well bud. Best Wishes Sean
Good to see you posting again, and wishing for a speedy recovery.
Great to see you on your feet! Hoping you’re on your way to full health.
Great news to see you back at it. I have followed your layout since day one, you are a fantastic modeler. Wishing you all the best.
Holy moly!! You have been through so much. I’m glad that you’re starting to feel better. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you continue to feel better.
Great to see & hear you again, Rob. Hope you continue getting healthier.
Glad to see you back! God Bless
