Hi ya Charlie 😃 Another fantastic video, thank you 👍 Although I completely respect all the knowledge that you have demonstrated in many of your videos regarding all the amazing electrical, electronics, wiring and programming that going into running your beautiful layout, I have to say that its these kind of videos that really excite and inspire me 👍 Absolutely loved the little train journey through the new cutting, it sets the scene ( if you'll excuse the pun 😀) for what's to come..... very inspirational 👏 I told you in my last comment, that with your help and support via email and your last video that I rediscovered my mojo and gotten back into my garage to start modelling again!!!!! Well despite having a stinking cold this week and the below freezing temperatures at night, I've spent every hour available after work to crack on with the build....... And I'm absolutely loving it 🥰 Thank you Charlie Kind regards Russ

I’m 63 about to hit 64, still working and plan to stay on past 66 as I enjoy my job, not an OAP but must be mad😁 plan a 3 day week so I can get back to my layout. Yes clamps you can’t have enough from very small to BIG. The cutting is looking good, once it’s got all the scenic stuff it will really look realistic. I would paint the tunnel insert though, I did mine to look like old soot and moss just to add something.

Afternoon Charie. Top tip nice to meet you you last week at Wharley. If you prefer to use the sticks like etc then find a local upvc center. the cost will be significantly cheaper than big name trade stores. also normal bog standard clear silicone will work very effectivly on bonding the senics together and at half the cost per tube. Again use your local upovc center. Brands like Henkle (which is bond it) DL Chemicles Wurth a fraction of the price of diy stores and better quality with less water content. easy for me to say though as I use the stuff daily. Fantastic video again though

Like the retaining walls - neat solution with the tunnel brick inset. Looks as if your road is going straight onto the freight yard track. Perhaps you'll need a level crossing, or I've missed something in your plans.😀

Excellent video as always Charlie, I especially liked the "drivers eye" clip of the view in the cutting, I am sure there are many similar views on the network, e.g. running into Liverpool Lime Street. One idea came to mind for the flimsy plastic mould, from your paster positive you could always cast a latex negative, the latex mould should give you a bit more durability (and be easier to release).

@ChadwickModelRailway 6 месяцев назад

Charlie your cracking Woodland sScenics mould , in a vac mould polystyrene. You can mend and reinforce it with a small plate of styrene sheet over the crack. BUT, you will have to use the correct solvent cement!! None of your go too glues, as shown will do!

Charlie, another interesting video. Certainly lots of cutting and reshaping going on. That, I assum foam based, engineered brick wall boards look good, but it is very monochrome. You would need to pick out different blocks in various similar shades of the grey, and add a lighter mortar to give it more appeal - in my opinion. Good luck with the subscriber drive, your videos are certainly worth viewing. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

Once again another top video Charlie. It really is great to see the evolution from the original planning to the execution of the layout. Even with some clever expensive CAD tools there will always be some "oh dear, I didn't think of that" events along the way. Your knowledge of materials, methods, glue types and finishes is extremely valuable to people like me who are still deciding what they want to achieve. Anyway the layout is coming along a treat.

@georgethomas7814 6 месяцев назад

I would like to see evidence of an old quarry in the corner where the old engine shed was removed. The two tracks were used to remove sand, lime or granite blocks. This would leave the cutting and the face of the cliff cut back in random block formation. Foam board and paper could be used to represent either of these stone types and give you a much more solid face to work with. As an example the old quarry at Milton Keys is a limestone quarry that is now parklike with large square formations covered in grass and shrubs. It might still be possible to demonstrate the age of this quarry by including some grassed square shapes built into the inner side of the cutting walls.

Clamps - when I am building structure kits, I often need small clamps that I can use to hold windows against walls, things like that - I purchased from Amazon a hundred wooden spring clothes pegs (the sort that i recall from my childhood when my mother would hang out clothes to dry on the outside clothes line). They work a treat, and probably cost me $5 or thereabouts.

Hi Charlie Slaters Plastikard is so much cheaper and readily folded and cut. Wills tunnel mouths are so much finer than the ones you are using, they also glues really well with MEK Pak glue, to the plastikard.

That video just proves an old observation I was told of and considered fairly sage advice: if you do the small awkward jobs as you go along you’ll set the bar high, if you do things at speed and leave smaller things ‘to go back to’ at a later date, chances are you just won’t. Done it myself before now! 😵‍💫 The tunnel mouth is a case in point: put it in now so you can see it work and therefore avoid possibly creating a bigger issue later on, with the upshot that you didn’t actually save any time or effort because you had to then undo lots of things you have already done to go back a few steps 🫣 I suspect many have done something similar; myself included! Many times I have just wanted to get on with it without paying due care and attention, which invariably just means that I’ll have even more work to do! 🤣😂😅 Ah well, cheers matey!

Thanks Charlie, interesting issues in this one regarding roads. As an observation, would it look better if you change the road that you’ve already done and don’t bridge the river there but end it in a Marina with a riverside pub and some picnic areas with car parking, perhaps a bus turn round point. A nice little diorama at the from of the board. Then create a junction further back and run a new road to cross the river closer to the railway line. After crossing the river, the road can curve naturally towards the industrial area on the other board in a similar curve to the railway but rising over the edge of the hillside. Then another junction about half way around the curve to take the road up and over the railways to your freight yard. I say that because roads tend to meander a bit more that railway lines, my suggestion is trying to break up what could otherwise look like unnaturally straight roads. Anyway, as I say, just a suggestion. I’m also looking to include some moving roadways after I visited James last year and he showed me the Viessmann system. Once you’ve had some feedback to your request for people’s experience in this video, you could use any responses you get to do a future video on the subject. I’m sure James could add some valuable insights for that ? Take care Charlie, until next time.

Thanks Bryan for such an interesting comment. Could you possibly email me a sketch to Chadwickmodelrailway @ gmail.com. I was planning a pub and a mill alongside the river, but I’m certainly open to options. Regards charlie

Excellent suggestion, Bryan, for rerouting the roadway and thus creating some interesting (and realistic) countryside scenes around Chadwick! You're not perhaps a road designer by profession are you 😉 Cheers, Peter

If you look at the Fallers finished roads with the description "Laser street Terminal loop" it takes up 411 x 320 mm and has article number: 161945. Thanks for the video! and for taking on more types of traffic in your modeling landscape.

Wouldn’t the cutting have the same type of brickwork on both sides, as it would have been built at the same time. Keep the videos coming, they’re just brilliant.

@ainsleyperry5192 6 месяцев назад

Charlie, You can never have enough hillsides. The late Peter Denny alway's maintained that a cutting or overbridge was a great way to make the layout appear longer than it really is. Nice to see you at Warley Model Railway Exhibition. I trust you did'nt eat all the mince tarts? For me it was a trip down memory lane to be reunited with "Ellerton Road" Scale7, O Gauge layout. To view once again all the buildings and horse drawn carts I built for this layout. Cheers, Chris Perry.

@hillmanhalt 6 месяцев назад

Charlie, I looked at Viesmann and Faller and wrote them both off. They only seem good if you like lorries! Instead, I’ve invested in Magnorail which applies magnets under ANY standard Oxford Die-cast car, which makes it incredibly flexible. There’s even a bicycle with the rides legs moving! I recommend looking at it before you shell out a HUGE amount for Faller and Viesmann. Tim.

@ChadwickModelRailway 6 месяцев назад

That’s good advice, Tim. However, do you believe it would be possible for me to run the Magnorail system up a hill!?

@hillmanhalt 6 месяцев назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway According to the FAQ, it can manage 45 degrees, but I’ve not tested that.

@ChadwickModelRailway 6 месяцев назад

I hate to spread rumours, but some say it’s a noisy system. Could that be true?

@hillmanhalt 6 месяцев назад

That’s a fair comment. There is a motor running the track vs a motor in each car. I don’t find the noise an issue to be honest - I’m placing my motor in a scenic as part of a tunnel and I have insulation on the screws (track foam!) to absorb any reverb. For me, it comes down to 1) cost and 2) the breadth of choice of vehicles you can run. Horses for courses. 😁

Hi Charlie. Another great video. I have quite a large run of Faller Car System around my layout. Basically, if the front axle will turn sharp enough, it’ll work. Much like a real vehicle. I have roundabouts etc and they work fine. I found my own way laying the road as the Faller road sections soon add up! I basically super glue the guide wire to the baseboard and then use the Woodland Scenic Road System. The tape and plaster etc. Just as long as you don’t pour it too deep, it’s fine. Gives a great road, simple to build and you can actually run your vehicles on it. I’ve also made some ‘points’ in the road surface for setting routes. I punched a pin out of a Seep point motor and bent a length of guide wire into the hole. You then have two route to choose from with the following guide wire. I cover this mechanisms with thin plasti-card suspended on matchsticks. Not sure if this helps. Willing to share more info if you need it. Also, not familiar with the Veissman system, although I’m guessing it’s similar Regards Daniel

Hi Charlie, that cutting area is developing nicely and I get the feel of the 'pr-existing' geology being manipulated to make the railway function. I can imagine how it will look with some trunking & conduits running along the tracks & walls. Graham Foulston has a roundabout on his layout which I think is quite tight so might be worth checking in with him. His car system looks fab! Hope you get your 100k subscribers soon. Cheers as always Dave.

@SD45-ET44AC 6 месяцев назад

Charlie, once again a great video! You give examples of various products to accomplish your goal and alternatives as opposed to some that only recommend what they can profit from. You warn those that use hot glue that you can be easily burned, using yourself as an example. I want to build an apx. 10+/- % grade hillside from grade crossing to the top of a hill that goes over the tunnel of the same train line using Brewer Maine in the 1960-70’s as an example. Granted the photos I have that I took as a kid may indicate that I’m an older aged person but the company I worked for for 38 years changed from a retirement/pension account to a 401(k) account which means I’m an OAP just not the OAP mentioned previously. Cheers!
