I don't want a RU-vid channel , I prefer watching them and yours are great and if your not subscribed why not it doesn't cost anything and your obviously interested in the content so subscribe and leave a like.😊
@@ChadwickModelRailway I thought your wife comment was funny too....Did you ask your wife what her wildest dreams are or can you not comment on here lol
Friday night in Australia. It’s Charlie night 🙂 Love the rant about the “troll” . My layout is what I want. My expectations not somebody else’s. It’s just fun in retirement. Will probably never finish it
Charlie, Working on my first ho layout with my helper, grandson Ben. Your videos have been extremely helpful and a appreciate the time you take to put them together.
My wife was eavesdropping as I played this and burst out laughing at “Charlie, you’re not in my wildest dreams “. Priceless. Great stuff Charlie and best wishes from Ottawa, Canada.
Hi Charlie well done interesting as usual. Your wife's comment made me laugh out loud. I too was not in my ex wife's wildest dreams. But a least now I can have my trains in the house lol. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on reaching your 100th video Charlie, I really enjoy the chanel. It's great to see you leave all your mistakes in the videos! The layout is looking great and your a real inspiration. Thank you so much for all the great videos. Take care.
Not in your wife's wildest dreams, oh dear !!! But then again, you won the heart of a 79 year old, and for an old boy to be interested in following you on RU-vid is pretty impressive. My eyes did well up when you said that he'd died, bless him. I'm only 61, recently disabled, but I watch your channels often, for inspiration and well as general interest and knowledge. You have a charm about you that is nice to watch. Keep it up. Can't wait to see video 200. Cheers.
Out of all the RU-vid advise videos/talks, this has to be the best of all! You say what's needed to be heard not just "you have to work hard" or "it's all up to luck and the algorithm", you talked about how to get people to view videos and what can help in the long run!
Dominic from the South coast here. You're very welcome Charlie and I'll be looking forward to see what you can do with the printer! Here's to another 100 videos!
Brilliant. You're a great all round universal friendly chap. The wife has just said that when her railway is built you're more than welcome to come and play trains and tunnels. Great work as always.
Charlie. Your channel is great. I've just moved house and had to dismantle my model railway which I had built over the last 30 years. Had to hack the baseboard to pieces with a power saw. Broke my heart. I'm building a new layout in my new home and am using your channel for tips and pointers. It's a wonderful resource. Please keep it up. Dublin Dermo.
I totally enjoy your RU-vid videos. Since a child I have loved railroads and model railroading. I have owned several model trains but have never had the space, time or money to build a model railroad layout. I enjoy watching videos of other people's s layouts and any videos of "real" railroads. Your comments on building and expanding your RU-vid channel are interesting and I'm sure will help others interested in doing so. In the meantime keep on Chadwick railroading and may you always "keep you trains on the track." Stay safe.
Congratulations Charlie, I look forward to your channel every week. I rekindled my interest in model railways just over a year ago after a break since 1985 when I was always working overseas. The world of model railways has completely changed and the rolling stock and equipment generally is far more reliable now. Using your channel articles as my inspiration, I have nearly finished the first phase of a DCC N Gauge German themed layout, track and rolling stock. There is as much pleasure building and wiring as there is in running the locos. I have followed you in taking the Digitrax control route after first experimenting with a basic Bachmann DCC controller, which while functional and simple didn't really do everything that I wanted. Keep up the good work
Happy 100th Charlie. Here's to 300 more, maybe 2-3 video's a week should help get you there. hahaha im joking. Loved every video and you my friend are a legend. Thank you for the time and effort to share with us all.
Excellent Charlie ! I lost count of how many times your glasses were on /off the head ..spent an hour looking for mine the over day , The wife reminded me ,There on your head !!!!
Congratulations on your 100th video, I assumed you'd done load more (or did it just feel like it ;-D ) keep up with the content, makes for great watching! Richard
I love looking through your old videos in between waiting for your next , this one really makes me smile, as my wife would say “no one’s in flammable “ !!!!! Lol keep those videos coming and please please never change 👍
Hello Charlie, I stuck around for the RU-vid section even though I'm not a hardcore RU-vidr. I just love listening to your voice and need something to keep me awake on the night shift.
Congratulations on your 100 th video Charlie. I have no interest in "being a RU-vidr" but I must say I found your talk about how to be a RU-vidr and what and what not to do very fascinating, I come here your your trains and how to stuff, but boy this was very interesting, I knew this can't be an easy gig but dang did not know you had to do as much as you do. Gosh Love this channel always learning something. Good on ya.
Charlie, I don’t know if you really understand what you bring to modellers such as me. I am inspired not because you are brilliant, (well, not entirely anyway), but because you get on with things and show them, warts and all.
Sorry, I hit send in error. To continue... to give an example, I’ve been prevaricating for ages about getting on with my scenery. After last week’s video I’ve really cracked on. Your videos show what can be done if one just gets on with it and to not worry if things go awry. Anything can be put to rights. Keep it up mate. We are behind you all the way! Regards, Tony
It was very generous of you to share your experience with YouTubing through your dos and don'ts section. Not only was it interesting to me, who will never have a RU-vid channel, but it would be invaluable to someone who is truly interested in starting one. I also really enjoy the fact you don't edit out every little mistake you might make in your programs. I just crackup every time the phone rings and you express your irritation. To me, it's human and makes your videos more relatable and entertaining. Thanks for all you do on this channel.
Hi Charlie, congratulations on 100 videos... Your channel is definitely one to watch, I like your presentation style and the information you impart. I'm modelling N gauge and fortunately a lot of what you cover in my humble opinion translates to any gauge/scale. I particularly enjoy seeing your very relaxed presentation style and it helps me navigate the many vagaries of this enthralling hobby. I have no interest of being in competition with you via RU-vid but was very interested in the information you provided related to a RU-vid channel, so presume I was one of the 30%? Thank you for your content which helps me learn and prefect new skills and have the confidence to try new things in this hobby. It's especially gratifying (maybe not so much for you) to see the mistakes (bloopers?) and know that things can turn out OK in the end. Again congratulations.
What a heartwarming comment Richard. I do try and keep away from Gauge specific subjects but sometimes it’s unavoidable. The DC/DCC is a similar dilemma. At least now I’m keeping the bloopers, I have deleted so many in the past, never realising their worth. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Huge congratulations Charlie on achieving this tremendous milestone for your channel. Always enjoy the content and the way you put each video together. Keep up the excellent work and as always look forward to future content. Regards Nick Australia
I find that you have a calming way of talking about model railroading. I look at the videos as an effort. I will always give a thumbs up because of the effort that the person has put into the presentation. It is when I take the effort to write comments that I express how I feel toward the site. I have never been described as "Organically Interested viewer!"
Congratulations on your 100th video Charlie, well done. I have watched nearly all of them and have gained a lot of knowledge and some good laughs along the way, so thanks. We do have something in common and that is, “I am never in my wife’s wildest dreams” also. Here’s to your next 100.
100 videos is quite a remarkable achievement. So much effort goes into producing a video and you do them with finesse. The bloopers just shows that your human but they sure do add a bit of humour. Your channel and content really is so varied with something to everyone. “Charlie your not in my wildest dreams” what a comment! I swear we do get our words wrong at the best of times! Your a top bloke Charlie and it’s your personality that we also like. The phone interruptions really are always perfectly timed. That plaque is really nice and I will admit that it’s amazing how generous people can be in this hobby and it shows how far reaching your content can go. Some great tips to grow the channel as well which I will be adopting. My channel is growing slowly but it’s not about numbers for me. My biggest issue is upload consistently but hey I’ll get there! I will admit I tend to write a lot so sorry for the long winded message! Stay well and all the very best for the future. Clint
Excellent as usual. “That’ll be the phone then” had me laughing tonight. Congrats on 100 videos, hope the channel keeps going from strength to strength as I enjoy it enormously. Found the information, advice and sharing your own RU-vid channel experience a bit of an eye opener. Will be getting my daughter to watch it as she is obsessed with starting her own channel and not sure she would take criticism or trolls commments well. your honesty on the bad experience may open her eyes to the reality of what’s involved. Anyhow here’s to the next 100 videos, all the best👍
Thanks AN, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Yes be careful with your daughter having her own channel, it doesn’t come without real risks! I banned someone this morning for posting porn links in their comment!
Chadwick Model Railway blimey!!! That’s something I hand not even thought of coming across or being an issue on you tube,,,,, there really are some low life’s out there. All the best and already looking forward to next weeks video.
Hi Charlie, 100! you don’t look a day over 50. I am new to the hobby as I took it up when I retired last year, but don’t worry I have been catching up at an alarming rate. Your video’s for me are an inspiration. Keep making them, I look forward to each one. Thank you.
Hi Charlie. Not a modeller myself but am fascinated with railway modelling and all things railways and engineering. Yours is my favourite modelling channel by far, and as much as anything it's your personality and humour that make the difference. The delivery is first class and the content so educational. Many videos are just so dry, but yours have the human touch which make them all the more interesting and watchable. Since stumbling across and subscribing to the channel I'm now working my way through the back catalogue. With all the building, videoing and channel admin I only hope you find time to grab some fresh air and breathe now and again, but you mentioned wildlife photography so I guess that you do. You're a remarkable man, so many congratulations on the success of your channel and I look forward to sharing the journey with you. All the very best.
Happy 💯‼Mr. Charlie! Subbed here. Great series! Very informative, and always look forward to the next installment! I'm not financially able to collect/build, so live vicariously through your great content! Keep in the bloopers, it's all part of the game, yea? that "Wildest dreams" line from the Bosslady, Mæte! Side note...we age ourselves with our shared old school ring tone. 👏🏽 🤪 🇬🇧🤜🏽🤛🏽🇺🇸 🤟🏽🤠 ✝🛐
Well done, wow that was some great info, loved the product placement bit, but the “Wildest dreams” made us both chuckle. Here’s to the next 100 👍👍🍺🍺🍾🍾🥂
congratulation charlie on your 100th video ,must say probably your best ,you educate ,entertain, but more importantly make us smile, you are a natural with this youtube thing, can't wait for the next 100.................tony
Amazing video 👍 happy 100th video 🎉 the RU-vid tips were fantastic 😀 you said about adobe premiere, I personally use a video editing software called Davinci Resolve which has a very extensive amount of features , I think the most I've seen from a free editing software. I know a few people who have bought expensive equipment to start RU-vid, only to make a couple of videos with no views and give up. As you said, you are definetly better off buying equpiment when you need it. Also I think a USP is very important to a channel, at least having one thing that sets you apart will very much help the growth of a channel. Thanks again for fantastic videos 👍
Just like in cricket having reached your century, you need to mark out your stance at the wicket and prepare for the next century. A fascinating video which I found to be of great interest. Personally I would be very grateful if you could continue to both entertain and inform. Thank you.
Hi Charlie. Only just got into Railway Modelling this last month (childhood dream come reality), and have been finding your videos extremely useful and a joy to watch. Congratulations to reaching a hundred videos!
Congrats on 100 Episodes Charlie! Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from you. I remember struggling to work out the best types of electro-mechanical connections to use when wiring for DCC and checked RU-vid and found your video on "Wiring for DCC". Before then I kind of got stuck and didn't work on my layout for about 6 months but that video revitalised me! I ended up going with tagboards and terminal (chocolate) blocks with ferrules (similar to what you had in the video) and now I have trains running! So, inadvertently, you got my layout up and running! I am a faithful Subscriber and Patreon follower and love your videos! Awesome work Charlie!
HI CHARLEY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ONE QUESTION IN MOST OF THIS VIDEO THE SCENE BEHIND U THERE ARE TRAINS ARE THEY ON A TRACK THAT IS PART ON YOUR LAYOUT I AM 81 YEARS OLD BUT HOPE 2 LIVE LONG ENOUGH 2 SEE YOUR 200 VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GRAHAM
I stayed to the end Charlie as I found it all (including the RU-vid bit) interesting and amusing :) I do not have a channel and I had no plans to create one as it looked like way too much hard work. However, I just worked out how much you have earnt so far from this video, not bad :) ps I am a subscriber too
Charlie, My wife & I really enjoyed this video. My wife thinks you are a "really nice guy"! I agree with her, I think it is the fact that you have a "face" and thus a personal presence as apposed to some of the other Vloggers (who are still very good at what they do). Keep up the good work and we look forward to another 100 videos!
Just wanted to say thanks & congratulations on the 100 videos. I'm 52 and have only in the last few months, started a model railway. You have been a big part of my research and a guide on how too. I love the videos and have learn't loads, so thanks very much and I will keep watching.
Whilst I appreciate that you posted this video quite some time ago, I really enjoyed it, this afternoon - even the 'outtake-bloopers' - nice one Charlie - thank you, informative, interesting, and amusing too - all good elements of a good RU-vid presentation - all 55 minutes worth.
Congrats on your 100th video, I was truly impressed by your honesty and the advice you gave about making good youtube productions. Chadwick Model Railway is truly an excellent channel that I always look forward to. Thanks for what you do, you always do it perfectly with a smile.
Congratulations on 100th Video Charlie. The bloopers made me laugh; I also learnt a lot about You Tube and the rant inspired me to go back searching for Video 68 - counting rivets! Whenever I get frustrated with negative comments, I will go back to this video and have a chuckle! Thank You.
Great watch, not often I watch a video that's based on ramble but that's 54 minutes of valuable info and some bloopers thrown in. I didn't understand much on algorithms but you sure explained it very well. As for buying subs, I remember when that subject came around on social media. Hmm.. amazing how some people really made a big deal out of it. That in itself leaves guilt written all over them. Simple as that. Would be interesting to hear you view on my channel changes over the last few videos? I struggle to find that fine ballance on what works and what doesn't.
Yes it’s a strange game choosing subjects. Track always works but items that are too specific tend to fail. Scenery, tracklaying, and power distribution are always bankers.
Congratulations on reaching your 100th video Charlie. I watching your videos every day and I think you're doing a great job. Greetings from a german 16 year old model railway fan
Charlie, you are a gem for taking the time to lay out the realities of being a RU-vidr in such detail and with genuine concern for us. This video has given me a lot to seriously consider and I won't hesitate to pass it on. I'm not into building trains but make it a point to occasionally visit simply out of fascination and because your content is presented in an interesting and straightforward way. All the best from Chicago, Illinois USA.
Well Charlie, you are brilliant. You almost always have a little smile in your face and your work are very inspiring. Thank you for all your effort to give us this lectures how to do it. Thanks Charlie, greetings from Sweden.
Charlie, I don't have a RU-vid channel, but really appreciate your comments about them here, like you saying about how we chose and watch channels is so right, just like your channel as they are always of interest to me....again thanks for sharing....Jack 👍👍👍
Hey Charlie. Appreciate you posting this one. Enjoyed the bloopers but was glad to see all the feedback about putting a channel up and the tips about going about it. Was curious how it goes.
I believe your wife and mine have shared the same 'husband guidebook'. Wildest dreams, indeed. Thanks for reminding me why I'm not a RU-vidr. More power to you (and appreciated!!) of course, but that's a lot of commitment I can't make.
Congratulations on the 100 not out Excellent videos very well put together with humor and fun Pity the pubs are shut it would be your shout at the bar Please continue looking forward to the next 100
Charlie, You are an absolute Diamond, I have only just started getting into Model railways (even though I am 58) I have been looking on youtube for the past few weeks and watched a fair no. of videos now, I just wanted to say thank you, you make some of the best out there in youtubeland.
No one has ever explained u tube to me. Thank you for overview. Have been watching you're channel more lately. Watched it a lot for a while and now find your info is relative to what I'm doing. P.j. Calif.
Thoroughly enjoyed the 100th video Charlie. I watched all the way through and was fascinated with all the RU-vid shenanigans...... Congratulations on the centenary, pretty good going in a relatively short time. I'm gradually working my way through as much of the older ones as I can. I can honestly say that yours is my favourite model railway channel and I look forward to catching up with your latest videos each week. I think your mix of humour and leaving a few mistakes and so forth in make all the difference. Here's to the next 100. Cheers Charlie and all the best from down under 😎
Great blog tonight had me in stitches with your bloopers especially the muffled curses!!calmed me down after spending 2 hrs trying find the short on my garden layout today. keep it up Charlie great blog as ever!
Great 100th episode well presented and excellent as usual. Great to show your mistakes which we all make. Thank you for all the hard work. I'm looking forward to next Friday.
Well said Charlie. Loved the rant bit. Very informative about working of RU-vid. Keep up the good work, love your vids, mistakes and all. We all make them and hopefully learn from them. Great modelling. Here's to the next 100.👏👏👏 Colin(N gauge)
I'm not a model raileway builder but loves trains and I think you got a great personality which makes the videos alot better and ur a very funny guy thanks for the great videos
Your face around "the new bullhead track" was priceless as you did the retakes..... I help on our local community radio and the number of times I have to do a voices insert at short notice, get half way through and the brain goes or my tongue trips over a word..... then it's take 3 or 4 and 2 minutes to go.... :-) In the nicest possible way, worth watching this one just for that!!! Your video comments could almost be used for training radio presenters!
Kudo's to you Charlie. I watch your channel because I am into model rail roading, and you have taught me some things I was not aware of. As you say crack on.
Congratulations Charlie on reaching your 100th video! Enjoyed the bloopers and also how you set up and manage your channel on RU-vid. I always look forward to your videos and always enjoy watching how your layout progresses. As I have mentioned previously, this is a hobby to be enjoyed by young and old alike. I'm sure there are many of us, including myself that have followed some of your tutorials and have managed to make modelling more interesting and fun. Keep up the good work and look forward to next Friday. All the best, Paul.
Hi Charlie - thanks so much for this 100th video. Enjoyed the out takes but the RU-vid section was really informative. You have a very easy manner in explaining things - whether it is how you build your model railway or building a channel on RU-vid. My own channel is for me to see how my own model railway has hopefully improved. The fact I have nearly 800 poor souls who faithfully follow me is just an added bonus. I know my channel isn't the best but having a full time job really doesn't afford me the time to spend on editing and producing slick videos unfortunately. Thanks so much for the time you spend on doing these videos week in week out which give viewers, like me, so much pleasure. Cheers Euan
Charlie, This is probably the best explanation of Youtiube I've ever seen. Thank you for this and Thank you for your wonderful channel which inspires me and teaches me some of the tricks in making my layout a little more realistic. Trevor from Dawlish.
@@ChadwickModelRailway your explanation for your channel pretty much sums up the reason why myself and many others keep coming back for more. Great content. Very informative and honest.
Great program Charlie. I built an HO layout back in the early 70's had to move and couldn't take the layout, but I did take all my loco's and rolling stock. I started watching a few of you most recent videos, liked them very much, so I went back and started with #1 and watched them in order to #100. Thank you for your dedication Errol
Hi Charlie, just a note to say I enjoyed the 100th edition, keep up the good work. You'll be pleased to know I watched it until the end - 54 minutes, that's at least another cent in your pocket from RU-vid -:) Don't spend it all at once.
Happy centenary Charlie (the channel of course, not you personally). I was overjoyed to see the bloopers & outtakes made it into the 100th video. I love the professional way your videos are produced, but to see it when things don't go according to plan are priceless. The superglued fingers, the phone ringing & forgetting your lines or train of thought had me in fits of laughter. I'm not considering starting a RU-vid channel but your explanation of it is, like your modelling, professional, concise and informative. Very much looking forward to the next one (as usual) and to the subject of it. Stay safe & take care.
Hi Charlie. Congratulations on reaching your 100th video. I always enjoy watching all your videos. Well done. Keep up the good work... Take care & stay safe...
Hi Charlie! A very good and honest overview of running a RU-vid Model Railway channel. I have followed you since your Chadwick TMD days and have enjoyed the progression of your layout to where it is now. It has inspired me to begin my own layout which got started now during the recent lockdown.
