I only knew Wasinojinsei existed when I was looking for trains to add to someone's document and found many of the videos show what said items look like on the inside. Their videos helped me a lot when it came to that.
Either way: the YouTubers who made me find out how much there really was to Thomas, Plarail, other toy/model trains and (to a lesser extent) LEGO were largely the same ones who attracted other people to those fandoms/hobbies back then. In no particular order:

However, there's one other Australian like Ucwepn who left a much bigger impact on me than all of the above - Leokimvideo. Where do I even begin? I credit his videos for my introductions to Chuggington and Thunderbirds, products like Blu-Tack, cutting mats, GoPro cameras, HexBugs and WD-40, the concept of pyrotechnics (beyond stage fireworks), certain filming techniques and special effects, attention to fine detail in sets, props and models and a plethora of other things. Unfortunately, I also began to impersonate his voice, accent and dialect in ways that would've surely made him furious if I were to meet him. That said, it did help me improve my accent in English after I toned it down in later years.
