  • Helped me get back into the hobby

    I’m totally addicted to MRRP. Having stumbled across the podcast a few months ago, James and Sam have become my constant source of company throughout my commute. Having binged through season 1-3 I’m now on season 4 and am now in fear of running out of episodes. Keep up the great work. PS can we have more Social Media shout outs, you’ve massively increased my viewing and I make sure I note every shout out you do.

  • Great Podcast - encouraged me to build!

    This is a great podcast - found it about a week ago - am already caught up. Great format with variety in the episodes. Sam and James area obviously very knowledgeable in the area and have some interesting discussion topics as well as guests. Whilst its designed to give you some relief from your model railway - it’s definitely encouraged me to build one!
