    Hi Andy, I have watched coaster crazy for a good couple of years now and its one of the best around. You have mentioned in a few vlogs bout your day job and I have always thought that would make a great different secondary channel. And now you have done it, and its so far amazing. Hopefully one day you will be able to be on a park in your crane assembling a new coaster. Wish you all the best and looking forward to future content.

    Hi Andy,
    Only discovered you Coaster channel a couple of months back, but loving that and now this channel so much. Just listening to you in your cab whilst working makes me smile - such a great, happy guy. Can I just ask about being in the cab for 9-10 hours - going to the loo!?!?!
    I wish you every success with both channels. I use to love going to theme parks but don't get the chance so often now, so loving watching the joy and fun I use to experience through you. Love all the museum and other attractions too - keep them coming.
    All the best mate, look forward to every new vlog.
    Take care, Grant

    Hey Andy, love the video and I have just found you channel as I am looking to get into Crane operating. Would love cranes of that size/tower cranes. I have a couple of questions. What qualifications should I seek? and also without being too personal but pay wise what cranes would I need to be in that pays the most? is there always overtime with something like this?
    I am also currently in the process of obtaining my Class 1 HGV license as I have been advised its worth getting.
