I'm a transport enthusiast from Nottinghamshire and I mainly focus around the East Midlands filming trains however due to being London based for the next 4 years I will be focusing on more London based videos.
I also do Roblox videos (which is where most of my subscribers came from) which showcase different railway games as well as my own which I am working on.

Don't get me wrong the graphics are better now, but the old version was way better and I preferred the basic feel and look of the trains as well as the sounds, throttle mechanics and how the train derailed more easily xd and also the trains not going through each other as well. I wish the dev would release the old version again, fine keep the current version but bring the og version back as well.
Came here from Tom Scott's newsletter. Obviously, the vid he linked is almost 7 years old and you were around 12, but it's crazy how good this looks in comparison. Good shit
Came here from Tom Scott's newsletter, where he's baffled about how many views it has. The section reads: _"The RU-vid recommendation engine showed me a video, and I was baffled: _*_why does a playthrough of a kid's detailed, painstaking video-game recreation of the railroad crossings in his local area have 8.8 million views?_*_ I have no answer to that question other than "algorithms" and "children". I'm putting it in the newsletter because this feels very much like the sort of thing that I'd have made and played as a child if I'd had access to today's creation tools. Also, some of the comments appear to be from teenagers with nostalgia. Blimey."_
That's... interesting. Since this was 2017, I was not even 13 when I recorded this on my laptop (now I'm a young lad in university). Honestly forgot this video existed. In the past, my channel was more of an archive for roblox videos.. I like Tom however, been watching him for years. We come from the same town.
@@EMTH_YT It's nice to see you're still active on your channel after all these years. I think you've earned a sub, plus I'm something of a foamer myself.
I also came here, from Tom's newsletter. I am guessing the connection is to Tom's video on a manual railway crossing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mRQt_PMhBXY.html as the sign, pumping lever action etc all look the same in both, although apparently they are two hours driving apart.
As a friend of the developer, who worked on some parts of the map, I'm honored to be mentioned by one of my favourite YTers. As for the huge view count, to be honest, we're just as much baffled as he is. We never expected this to get this much views. It was just something we did for fun as kids. The only explanation we have is kids, and lots of them. If you might be wondering what happened to this "game", it has since been closed. We intended to remake it into a bigger, better game, but have since given up on it. However, we've not completely given up. On and off, we've been working on a different ROBLOX railway game called Destination: Benford, and so far we've made 3 versions of it (the first one being in late 2018). It turned out to actually be kind of popular in the ROBLOX trainspotting community. It has also gotten some attention from popular YTers like AlvinBlox (twice on his streams). Currently we're not working on it due to a lack of time and motivation.
