YMMV / Lawrence Rose

• Friendly Fandoms: Notably with the fanbase of American YouTuber Hyce who shares a similar topical focus on historic railroading and bears a strong visual similarity to Lawrie. Its strong enough fans sometimes refer to the channels as "American Lawrie" and "British Hyce" due to the similarities. Lawrie eventually makes a cameo appearance in a Hyce video discussing railroader clothing.
• Lawrie's episodes on the Talyllyn Railway and the Corris Railway naturally make him popular with fans of The Railway Series and Thomas & Friends as well. Of course its not totally reciprocated, Lawrie's Discord server bans most Thomas discussion to keep the server on topic.
