Hollpolls Christmas Cracker-Model Railways 00 Gauge

- A random selection of unpublished video clips from the past twelve months, like everything else the model railway industry is IMO a complete shambles due to the old kung flu with almost everything in short supply particulary locomotives and rolling stock with sky high prices. While there is complete reliance on China to manufacture everything this situation will continue and will get worse already items are being announced for delivery in 2023 (if your lucky). I am thankful I have a large inventory of loco's and rolling stock to call on which will see me out. The future of my channel is uncertain, its hardly worth the time and effort for just a few hundred views and frankly I just can't be bothered any more.

Always something different, as you’ve always said Stewart - and this has “done it again”! Great collection as usual of your models, (and voiceover!) and aren’t those Hornby 4/6 wheel coaches gems?! I’ve got a rake of the SR olive green for one of my workmens trains pulled by a Terrier.
I’m sorry if you are considering pulling the plug literally on your channel. I’m sure I speak on behalf of “the few hundred viewers”, by saying we would miss your wonderful railway, it’s locos, carriages and wagons (plus scenery), that you’ve invested in your passion.
And yes, we all agree Covid has all thrown us all out of whack. But, at least for me, my railway modelling has kept me busy (installing colour light signals was fun🤬🤪). You are correct that too much reliance of one country producing our models (I think I read 90% from the Far East) is unhealthy. Prices (especially Bachmann) are high (even bargains from that popular shop in Wigan UK are high!) and pricing some people out of the hobby.
All I can say Stewart, is this. You obviously can do what you like with your channel, of course. But there are some of us who look forward to your layout and will miss it. I’m often going back to your older videos - as I do with others who post on CZcams.
Mate, I wish you much happier days for 2022, and wish you good health.
Thanks for the very kind comments Andrew and I hope the same for you for 2022. I wonder when we'll finally see the Hattons six wheeler coaches, there seems to be more different versions than a cats got fleas ! I also ordered and prepaid for one of those KR models GT3's (second run) which I understand have now arrived in the UK but haven't heard a dickie bird from them (they don't reply to their emails by the way), take care Andrew,
Stewart
Well Stewart, I’ll expect that GT3 to be whizzing around through Angel Town very soon! And I agree about the Hatton’s 6 wheelers - they’re pretty late arriving!
Awesome layout. You've got it all running very smoothly. The layout has quite a lot of atmosphere with the imaginative use of card and plastic kits. The only thing I would suggest is that you invest in an automatic station stop as that will make videoing easier since otherwise, you've got the problem of operating the camera and the controller at the same time! Thanks for uploading.
What a pleasure to watch your railway again.Please keep posting.Jim UK
Very nice video just following you from Dave Haworth link enjoyed your video will be catching up on your channel over the weekend cheers for now al 👋🚂🚂🤗👍
Lovely to see the railway from so many different angles, Stewart. As you say, always something different (which by today's standards is increasingly surprising and expensive). Happy Christmas to you and the family - All the Best..........Reinhard.

Okay own up who are you ,and what have you done with HolPol ? thats not an Australian accent !!......another great video Happy Christmas to you and your family !
Thanks Merv same to you mate, I used a voice generator as an experiment this time !! Take care
Stewart
To say that I’m not fan of this robotic voice is an understatement , I prefer your voice million times better.
I’ve been watching your channel since the early days when I was at Uni in York. I recently sold the Brighton Gold never ran it just wanted something else with the money.
Point taken, thanks for the comment it was always going to be something that people either loved or hated, but I won't be doing it again
Stewart
What have you done with Hollpoll and that lovely Aussie accentLove the sound of his voice.Excellent video but miss his personal touch.Best wishes .Jim UK
Thanks for watching, point taken it was an experiment and will not be used again, all the best
