VERY nice to see you back and on the road to happiness !!!! What a lovely start to your new boat Captain. can hardly wait to see Hazel christening it on RU-vid.....
I'm sooooo pleased you are back again. You have inspired me to build my own models and spend my time creating a model town. I am suffering entail health and currently on over 25 tablets aday I watch your videos as they encourage and relax me. So pleased you are back with your mojo stay strong. X
Wow. Beautiful models all round. I have watched with all eagerness your boat build. Looks like an amazing kit, fella. I'm glad it's helping you get through life. I enjoy building my partwork model's myself. They are such an escape from life. Be well, my friend
Hi Graham glad to see you back, and happy that your all good. Similar to you with the model boat, I’ve taken up Lego to help with my mental health really helps. Finally got my layout running for me and my son, as mentioned before he has quite complex needs but he loves watching trains running. The grand central hst your selling is amazing, one I wish we had. All the best Chris and James
Hiya Graham. How lovely to see you again and in good spirit too. You and the video's have been missed as I really enjoy them. Nice to see you working your magic on the boat too, you make an excellent job of whatever you do. Welcome back.
So great to see you back Graham and I’m so pleased you’ve come through a tough time and found your happiness again, the boat looks beautiful and brings back very happy memories of my dad’s affection for building boats, looking forward to seeing your next update when you’re ready, cheers Darrell😃👍
Great to see you back Graham, & in fine fettle.. The boat is of course, up to your usual high quality of build! Look forward to seeing it on water.. Take care Graham...
Great to see you back again mate 😊 You certainly sound on top form and that boat is looking great so far, looking forward to seeing the finished article .
Good to see you back. My other half bought an Accurascale class 37 which is superb. She likes it so much that she has ordered another one as long as I look after them and weather them for her.
Graham can I say it's great to see you back on You Tube and that boat is brilliant Graham , hopefully that period of uncertainty now passed has gone well done mate I'v missed you
Hi Graham, lovely to have you back. The boat looks fantastic and I know you'll finish it to your usual high standards. I'm glad you built it just for you without videoing it. We are blessed with your railway channel, so much needed 'you' time with the boat project. Cheers
Hello Graham Excellent to see you back with a re-newed interest, we all need a break from time to time and with your family happenings hobbies take a back seat. No doubt in time you will be doing your usual train videos. The boat build has obviously been a welcome distraction for you and a great model it looks too. Thanks
I wish I was 75 again and as good as you . i still model the best i can after my stroke 6 years ago .I am now 78 and having to manage left handed . good to see you back.
Hello Graham! It's wonderful to have you back on RU-vid. Glad to see you back to your old self. The boat project looks amazing 🤩 Take care all the best to you and Hazel.
So,So nice to see you back on You Tube again . I hope you are feeling much better , you look more like your old self. Keep up the good work and oh yes the boat look pretty good as well. All the very best x
It is so good to have you back on the manor! You look and sound so much more relaxed. I was thinking of you the day before yesterday and wondered how you were getting along. Here you be and so welcomed too. Your boat looks really brilliant, and I do recall seeing these on movies on the riviera. Lovely they were. Onwards and upward dear chap. All my very best. Iain
Hi Graham, glad you're feeling and looking a lot better. The boat is stunning, look forward to seeing it finished and running. All the best, stay happy. Brian @ The Angels
Welcome back; glad you’re feeling better. Think boats and trains go so well together - the harbour scenes shown are amazing. Sadly don’t seem to be many kits in 1/76 or 1/72 scale to fit with OO Gauge. Look forward to next videos (and Accurascale models are superb!!!)
Great to see you back Graham! Fabulous model boat, you have obviously enjoyed its construction and I'm sure you'll have fun with it when you get it on to the water. Had a go at a boat myself a while ago, it was fun but the planking of the hull was fiddly work. 🙂
Hi Graham, great to hear you’re in a much better place and looking and sounding so well … and great teamwork with Hazel to support each other over time. Also great to hear your mojo is in a good place … good tips to try a different hobby with the boat, also reduce exposure to negativity … especially these days with social media! The boat looks wonderful so far! Kind regards, Mark
Graham thanks for the update it was well worth waiting for! The boat is BRILLIANT and I can't wait to see more! Seeing that train at Lakeside running is as real as it gets! Thanks! I was thinking about you today and the video showed up!!!!
Glad you are feeling better Graham. I was a community nurse in mental health for 20 years specialising in older people. I bought the Climate Hero class 66 and some rolling stock to match. I've just been buying Network Rail stuff for the last few weeks.
Great to see you well again Graham, in the 1960's we used to go to Spain, my Dad always loved the Riva boats, very special, once i retire i think i may also follow your lead on a model build. All the best
Thank you for that video Graham, A lot of what you said hit home with me, I don't have a setup anymore, It was just DC but I had a good few locos until I moved last year and the removal men stole all the good ones and left me with four train sets and all the track, But I still like to see you and your channel, And I hope you keep us updated with the boat, All the best Sean
Good to see you back Graham the new loco looks great that boat looks absolutely stunning you did a really good job building it brilliant I'm so glad you are feeling better Graham
Welcome back, that smile looks great. Would that be a typical consist, on the HST, with the open coach behind the first class carriage? That would mean the first class passengers would have to endure a herd of third class passengers walking through to get to the restaurant car.
There you are…Good to know modern medicine has you all fixed up. I love my Accurascale 66. It is my favorite now. A hot shot off a shovel. That’s a new one. 😂😂. Shiny boat. HST looks good. I can’t get over that dashboard. It does sound good. Nice to see the scale of the boat and to see your train room again. Cheers my friend, bye for now.
Great to hear from you Graham and pleasing to know that you are now in a better place. Fantastic looking boat and coming from family members who were heavy into trains, planes and boats (father and father) I can appreciate the time, skill and patience it took to build but more importantly it helped with your state of mind, what is it they say "a change is as good as a rest". My late father built a tug out of fibreglass when I was 11 (ah over 50 + years ago) and it took two people to carry it, I was able to sit in the hull whilst empty and paddle around the local lake. When finished it had a 12v car battery with two motors and a brass rudder nearly 6 inches long (old school measure). My late grandfather run a model shop and helping out at weekends was like being a kid in a sweet shop, those were the days. Please pass my regards to Hazel and looking forward to your next video what ever it is about, lol. Regards Barry.😄👍🚂🛩🛥
Hello, Graham. The model boat was excellent, and the pics show the level of detail and work it took to achieve. Nicely done, sir. A beautiful train, some lucky soul will walk away with for a fair price! Cheers!
A good video here Graham and great to see you back, quite surprised that you are selling one of your Grand Central HSTs, I remember watching the videos where you added the orange stripe then when you had the old layout running the pair of them together, great work on that boat model, never had an RC boat myself but they have always interested me, keep up the great work Graham
Nice to see you. Your approach in terms of deciding what to do and how to prioritise reminds me of my dad who's a year older. Zero health issues currently and no sign but just would kick himself if he doesn't do some things so they need to take precedence for a time.
No Lie yesterday I was thinking gee haven’t heard from Graham for a long time,hope he is OK . At our age you always think the worst.was wondering what happened to the Gentry .glad to hear from you. I am painting rock faces on the RR never ends cheers! And take care.
Hi Graham, its really nice to see you back and on the mend. I was very impressed with the boat that you built. if that was your first attempt at model boat building i think you can be very proud of yourself, it is an amazing achievement. Many regards Alan
Hi Graham 👍 it’s great to see you back and all is ok with you and Hazel. Love the boat looks an amazing project and sounds fantastic. Thanks for sharing Andy
Graham, great to see you back. Sometimes we need a bit of time aside. Have a great summer you both. The Rivas are always the most beautiful boats in any marina, who needs a super yacht?
Hi Graham, so good to see you well and enthusiastic again. If the Grand Central is still available I'd be interesed to know how much you're looking for. Either way great to have you back.
Hi Mike and thank you for the kind comment, it’s greatly appreciated. I’m looking for £350 for the whole set - driving and trailer car plus the 5 coaches. I have fitted Hunts magnetic couplings to give a closer coupling, DCC decoder in both the driving and trailer car giving directional lighting and cab light. As I said in the video, this is not the cheap railroad range but the super detailed version, it will also come fully boxed too. Hope that’s of interest to you. Cheers. ……….Graham
@@GrahamFoulston Hi Graham, I'd like to accept your offer so if you let me have your details I'll transfer the money unless you have another method. Thanks, Mike.
@@mikekingston1862 That’s excellent Mike, thank you. There are funny things going on at the moment with replies on YT, there are several which have gone missing. I will dig out the boxes for them all tomorrow and package it up so that it’s ready to post off to you - I will take care of the postage so nothing to pay extra for that and will send you a tracking number one I have it. I will put my email address here for us to communicate but once you have received this reply then please let me know as I will then delete it from here as I don’t want my private email address on here so please let me know once you have received this so I can delete it. I will speak again tomorrow. Cheers for now. Graham.
WOW Graham I'm 71 this August and we are so much Alike its Crazy I used to do Model Boats won a Few Prizes as I Joined a Model Boat Club I Don't Know if they still have them but if they do I found a great Buch of Guys all of them from many ages we Used to Run on early Friday evening in the summer and on Sunday Mornings at the local park Pond Maybe Some Thing to Look into the Boat Looks Awesome you doing a great Job So Pleased you on the Mend had me Very Worried for you Thanks For the Vlog Loved it
Good to see you Graham! Personally I don't care what you are building because I enjoy your virtual company and that is what I'm here for. Good to see you looking better.
Hi Graham, great to see you back on the chanel again and back on the mend . Love the boat too , like many of us modellers we have many strings to our bow , I too have an interest in RC boats !! It's a great hobby and gets us out ans about ...Happy modelling and keep up the good work .looking forward to seeing you in your next video Take care .Best regards Allan
Great to see you back, young man, so many things in life can get us down but knowing that you have good advice and the proper help from people around you is a great boost, and always keep in mind you also have the vast support from all of us that follow you on this channel,. The boat looks fab, as an early teenager I always imagined how sneaky it would be to go along to a large pond where people were sailing their boats and I'd have a radio controlled submarine that could torpedo them, ha-ha. We used to watch a model programme on tv presented by Bob Symes (?) where he covered different model making vehicles etc, boats were always a passion so to see your new build brings back a lot of happy memories of the tv show and of sailing boats at the pond, cheers and keep well
Glad to hear you’re feeling better! I think the grand central will be out of my price range sadly😅 the boat looks awesome! You should be really pleased with yourself with that!
Good to have you back on YT Graham, so pleased that you are looking and sounding well. The Model Boat is looking superb. Like you I also enjoy many other different hobby interests. cheers Paul 🙂👍👍👍
Good evening Graham it is great to see you back my friend have missed you and your videos. Don't worry about forgetting names of things hell mate i forget days. love the boat too.
Great to see you looking and sounding so well. The boat looks fantastic. I can't remember which James Bond movie featured a similar boat on the canals of Venice. Looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Hi Graham, what a great video, it’s quite a coincidence as I’ve recently bought an Abarth Rivale car which was built in conjunction with Riva boats so I’ve been researching them. That’s a fabulous model. I turned 70 this year and have had a similar crisis as my best friend died also just turned 70, my wife died 5 years ago so we’re in a similar boat lol. I’ve also just bought an electric Brompton just need to pluck up the courage to get on it.
Hi Graham I have a large model railway in my loft that I built. For a change I built a model boat from a kit, which I really enjoyed which shortly I will be taking to a boating lake. What I am now going to do is model railway in winter, and model boats in summer. I am 81 and I find it is best to keep challenging yourself to keep your brain active. Good luck with the boat, but remember before you put it in the water to look into having a rescue boat. Martin
Very best wishes Graham, you're brave to talk about mental health. Not everyone is brave enough to take off their mask and ask for help. All the best. Ian
I'm only in the first 5 minutes of this video, Graham, and I just wanted to say it's nice having you back, so whatever comes on the rest of this video I most definitely will enjoy take care my good friend and I hope you and Hazel are doing well ❤❤❤❤
