@@MorganDobsonYou and I alike. He used to spend a lot of time at Westbury Station in Wiltshire. Haven't seen him for a long time now, but Westbury was a favourite haunt of his.
Because you're clearly a good person. You aren't jealous of someone else's happiness. You are instead happy to see someone else smile. All the best to you on your journey. 🤝
@@michaelmurphy5170this friendship is clearly extremely plutonic. So much so that it stops just outside romantic, before quickly passing through, finally stopping at plutonic central. Change for longaystares.
I wish I could be as happy as you. I've had depression and anxiety every day of my life, and although I can appreciate things, and have the whole range of emotions, they have always been stunted and behind a cloud. I've never experienced a moment of elation, or pure joy. It's all pretty flat. You seem very pure of heart and in touch with who you are. I got to experience an approximation of joy through the smile on your face vicariously. Thank you.
@@beeeeeesbury we try. We can't always, and perhaps not as we have done. It takes its toll on you, and life is not worth the effort when you have nothing in your future. But yes, we try, and we have tried. I wish you all the best, and thanks for commenting. Please take care.
Everyone looks so happy & joyous, fair play to you both buddy, Mike has an amazing layout. It's a great hobby and passion. Both of u Keep it all going 👍👍👍👍
I live in the Florida Keys and am amazed at Flagers railway built to Key West. If you’re ever in America, some of the abandoned rail and bridges still stand proud. Love your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing.
Ohio is absolutely littered with abandoned 100+ year old rails and bridges, find cars in the woods along the tracks too. Found a big container once and popped the hatch and white dust flew up and it was bitter/acrid and I thought I was gonna die 😂😢
@@IrishPablo94yeah, imagine letting a child play with miniature train sets. Would be a nightmare to them. I’d rather trust them with my child, than football jocks or gaming enthusiasts.
WOW that layout is a work of art just amazing mike👌...im new to francis after watching him with that hot swiss female footballer and his trick was absolutely hilarious 🤗😆😆 a real genuine British eccentric alive and kicking i salute you sir🧐❤️👍🏴🏴....
National Rail and BBC should team up and hire this guy. Make a programme about him travelling up and down the country visiting trains and track routes and even long closed ones and talk about the history of trains in the uk.
First time i ran into this guys youtube i was confused and found it funny because of the fish eye lens and the excitement. But now i just get a big smile
I want to meet Mike. I'm in my 30s, and I've been a railway enthusiast since I can remember. My dad passed me massive amounts of old track and locomotives all from the 60s and 70s.
Well, whatever floats your boat, I can see you love railways. My (older) fellow drivers quite liked 47s too, they were used on the mail and TPOs at my depot.
Francis your happy existence makes me happy, keep doing your thing
I met him

@@nigelbevan8449 I met him at Newark Northgate for Blue Peter and it was his first time there got a pic with him too
Completely Agree.
Humans have a lot to learn from this man
The internet has come a long way 😅
Why do these videos make me happy? I have no real interest in trains but your passion and joy for it is contagious. Keep documenting your hobby!
Because you're clearly a good person. You aren't jealous of someone else's happiness. You are instead happy to see someone else smile.
All the best to you on your journey. 🤝
Man, wish there was a longer video. This interaction deserves more than 60secs
It certainly does
@StarmersStasi just click to view the full video then...
@@Tofu-Titanwould if could….
Much agreed
Beautiful Francis! I'm glad that you and Mike have found each other!
They do make a nice couple though I think Francis has a girlfriend. So maybe Bi ?

Your channel is a breath of fresh air on the ego centric vanity car crash social media world.
Keep being you mate
I 100000% agree when on his channel it feels like a new place, a peaceful happy place
Wait until the money hits 💰
@@bardshitler3328it has, a couple of years ago and he has loads of celebrity friends.

Britain needs enthusiasts like this
Bravo!!
Hobbies are very popular here in 🇬🇧
@@ABM750 i'm also 'here' and a model railway is mesmerising
Thats a very cool model layout. Thats very kind of him for letting you keep the 47.
I’m not a railway fan at all.
I’m a Francis fan.
Please continue to do what you love, mate. It’s genuinely a breath of fresh air 👍🏻
Your happiness for trains makes me happy
Locomotives
It's a skit
@@Sean5640 you're a skit
What a lovely thing this has captured. Friendship with Mike and Smudge 🐈⬛👍
Everyone looks so happy & joyous, fair play to you both buddy, Mike has an amazing layout. It's a great hobby and passion. Both of u Keep it all going 👍👍👍👍

You have warmed my heart. Who needs motivational waffle when actually what we really need is kindness and care.
Your energy is angelic

Francis, you have helped me feel better even in tough times. Thank you for the amazing train content.
You are such a good man, with your heart on the right place (Dutch saying) thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. Wish you the best
Always pleased to see someone enjoy such hobbies with so much passion. Nice one Mike 👍🏼🚊
More Mike content please, he seems like an incredible hobbyist!!!
Also, he is apparently hung like a Baboon 😎

Everything I learn about train enthusiasts prompts me to trust them implicitly and with my life.
Yeah trust them with a child and you'll see what happens
Everything I learn about train enthusiasts prompts me to realise that they are low functioning disabled people who need 24/7 care and support.
@@IrishPablo94 you're the sick one whose mind immediately went to children. Projection or something?
@@IrishPablo94yeah, imagine letting a child play with miniature train sets. Would be a nightmare to them.
I’d rather trust them with my child, than football jocks or gaming enthusiasts.
Wow, nice collection Mike, thanks for sharing.
I wish something made me this happy pal
We all do mate, we all do..
(hugs)
Fantastic, the joy of a shared love. Top video.
Ahhhh Mann!!! This is absolutely fantastic!! What a collection!!!!
He is hard-core!!! A feast for the eyes!
Dude I love what you're doing. I think that you prove that passion for what you love means everything. Thanks for being you
One of the most wholesome Videos on youtube, ever :) ... Well done man
He is a beautiful sole this lad I like watching his enthusiasm
What an exceptional couple of gentlemen, and beautiful cats! You’re both welcome to Scotland to visit my AB box!

Very cool! What an amazing collection! Cheers and thanks for sharing.

WOW that layout is a work of art just amazing mike👌...im new to francis after watching him with that hot swiss female footballer and his trick was absolutely hilarious 🤗😆😆 a real genuine British eccentric alive and kicking i salute you sir🧐❤️👍🏴🏴....
Big up smudge for being the real deal. Pets love their people however they came, they the real Gs
Cold Mike seems very cool! I have H0 scale trains too :D
I wish I had a passion as much as you guys have. Keep enjoying it lads.
Ok! I subscribed straight after the end of this video. Good job!!
Wow, Mike must be pretty good at soldering electronics? Great video, Francis. Keep up the enthusiasm!
You’re so refreshing and your type of content, in this online world of mostly shallow BS… thank you for sharing! I subscribed
I’d watch this all day, best creator yet
What a brilliant collection!❤
Was enjoying watching that. Please do a longer video. Great collection and interaction
Amazing, great video, and an epic collection. ❤️✌️☮️
A gentle, absorbing, and joyful hobby for this young man and other enthusiasts. Why not.
Absolutely pure dedication to his hobby
What an amazing collection Mike!
Treasure trove of loveliness what a collection 👍👍🇬🇧
“This is my friend!” is a joyous expression 🙂
This is wonderful. Such a a passion well worth celebrating 😊
Everyone needs a friend like Mike
You so happy my man. So jealous. Love listing to your enthusiasm
That’s neat man. My family built the train track at the living desert in California. Pretty cool stuff. Lots of work. Looks good.
Love this collection, what an amazing guy ❤️
That’s a fantastic setup, is there a longer form video?
Love to see the boys having fun. Keep it up guy
Not into toy trains myself but love that people have interesting hobbies
I am so outside of the expected target audience but damn every man must strive for this love of any one thing. It's beautiful. You're an inspiration.
You have such a calming voice, you should read sleep stories as a side hustle, could always pop a few trains in along the way ☺️
Wow, that's an impressive collection !
My grandpa and me used to build trains with town scenes. I miss him
What a fantastic layout, I’m sooo jealous 👌👌
Wow how wholesome is this man ❤
In my view.....probably the best short video I've seen on RUclips.
Beautiful to watch , fantastic.
I truly wish I could bottle and consume a daily dose of Francis happiness.
National Rail and BBC should team up and hire this guy. Make a programme about him travelling up and down the country visiting trains and track routes and even long closed ones and talk about the history of trains in the uk.
That’s an awesome setup👍
Mike seems like a lovely guy.
I know nothing about anything, but i enjoy the gentle vibe.
First time i ran into this guys youtube i was confused and found it funny because of the fish eye lens and the excitement. But now i just get a big smile
Mate!! You are so funny! Still not sure you aren't trolling 😂😂 'This is my friend Mike' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want to meet Mike. I'm in my 30s, and I've been a railway enthusiast since I can remember. My dad passed me massive amounts of old track and locomotives all from the 60s and 70s.
Everything about this made me happy
This guy is fast becoming my hero!
“Lines and Lines” reminded me of “Tubbs” reading a map in her local shop
Good to see 👏👏 what ever makes you happy 💯
Im glad you're happy mate 😊
Wow absolutely amazing 👍👌
Mike looks like a total legend
What an awesome friendship!
My guy has a nice set up bless up brother man we have to be happy in what we do for pleasure
Mike knows what the fuck he likes and he's got plenty of it. Love dudes like that
Superb collection
Nice, you meet good people out there
Well, whatever floats your boat, I can see you love railways. My (older) fellow drivers quite liked 47s too, they were used on the mail and TPOs at my depot.
That's a sick signalling system. Beautiful layout.
Glad there's someone else out there a 47 fan
Started spotting in the eighties, and holidays had been 47 hauled up to take York. Change for Scarborough. Thumbs up.
Love trains too ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊 great post
Mike is keeping the scene alive, good in mike
You're amazing Francis.
Hope you make it to Sydney one day .. the blue mountains line , the south coast line are both amazing days out for under 10 pounds
I love how Mike ain’t even bothered taking off the tag on his chair.
He’s focused on the train life.
I bet Mike is enjoying the visit, mabye you should take him train-spotting❤️
If a golden retriever was a railway enthusiast
A modeller's heaven❤
Nice layout. That is so good.
Your such a legend man
