So good I watched it twice!

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Dedication indeed. You didn’t fall asleep first time did you? Regards Charlie

@Poliss95 2 года назад

I saw a Southern 4-CEP in the BR Blue/grey livery that had been in some sort of accident. The original green paint was showing up underneath the dents. The correct name for the blood and custard livery is 'crimson lake and cream'. A journalist made up the 'carmine and cream' name and the error has been widely spread.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

What an interesting fact mate. Crimson lake and cream, I shall try and remember that one. Regards Charlie

Lovely video again, Charlie! I'll have to check out my coaches and see what (other) rakes I can build. Thank you very much for all the well presented information.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks TM, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie

@michaelimpey1407 2 года назад

Charlie, yet another very interesting video. It shows how helpful it is to get good photographs of the era, and region you are modelling, to see what was going on with wagons and coaches to reproduce an idea of what it was like. Keep up the great content. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Michael, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. The research is a fascinating aspect of video production and thoroughly enjoyable. Regards Charlie.

@ianobrien6908 2 года назад

Hi Charlie, another very insightful video, mind boggling abbreviations (for me anyway). Thanks for uploading the video, I really enjoy them. All The best, Ian.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Ian, I’m so pleased that you found a video interesting mate. Regards Charlie

@clivewilkinson6076 2 года назад

Thanks for this video. This, and your video on freight wagons, is making me more thoughtful on what I put together as a train and in what order, and may well influence what I buy in future as well. You are doing us all a great service.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

What a heartwarming comment Clive, you’re too kind. Regards Charlie

@edwardwaltonbespoke5817 2 года назад

Hi Charlie, spot on with this one! 👍 When I watch your videos I realise how much reading I need to do, but you give a great head start. And yes, thanks to the contributors

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Nicely done, another excellent video presentation. Not only did I learn a great deal, watching those two Warships climbing the helix was particularly striking.

Keep the videos coming Charlie, really enjoying the channel and have binge watched so many of your videos over the last few evenings! I'm currently working on my layout again after a 5 year hiatus, and find these so helpful and relaxing to watch. The wiring and DCC stuff is particularly enlightening. My layout is sort of flexible and based on southern third rail region from 1990s onwards - plenty of variety in freight and departmental stock as well as the Mk1 based EMUs :)

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

I’m so pleased that you find the channel interesting mate, and good luck with your layout. Regards Charlie

@michaelwood3732 2 года назад

Hi Charlie - I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I have been watching your channel for some time now and find myself dipping in and out of the videos very much like I used to do with my Railway Modeller magazines I subscribed to in the early 70's (the Video Index is a great idea by the way) So thank you for the sore head, the stiff back, aching knees and empty wallet! But most of all thank you for getting me back into a hobby I enjoyed as a child

@chrisclark6192 2 года назад

Hi Charlie. Another informative and enjoyable video. I can remember the long rakes of crimson and blood and custard coaches being hauled by steam locomotives and the newer green diesels in the 60s. I can also remember the mixed rakes of the newer blue coaches and crimson coaches being hauled by large steam locomotives and the newish 25kv electric locos (also in the 60s) on the newly electrified WCML. Great stuff as always. Cheers Chris.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Great comment Chris, much appreciated, regards Charlie

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Terry, and I’ll look at a sequel in due course. Regards Charlie

@chasc301 2 года назад

Excellent video Charlie, thank-you. I can recall my delight on travelling from Newton Abbot (which appeared in one of the illustrative photos included) to Manchester and finding ‘for second class use’ notices stuck on first class corridor coaches. Back then, the mid 70s, I was always curious of the heating controls. Each bench seat had an independent ‘electrical heating’ control, there being a single for the ‘steam’ heating for the entire compartment. Thanks again.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

The smell of the steam heating coming through the seats is something that can’t be forgotten. Regards Charlie

@davidyeates8894 2 года назад

Another good one, Charlie. I’ve been wondering about all those coach abbreviations for a while. There are no excuses anymore more for me mixing up air and vacuum brakes coaches just in case a rivet counter walks into my railway room.

Interesting video Charlie. I have always enjoying having varied colours of coaches on my layouts. Probably goes back to living near the West Coast line near Harrow as a child and seeing the maroon liveries change to blue/grey and mixed rakes.

I’m so pleased you found it interesting John. Regards Charlie

@simonbradshaw3708 2 года назад

Another enjoyable video this time on coaching stock. Hornby Magazine has in the past given examples of train formations for specific routes which people may find useful. Thank you again and look forward to your next video.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Simon, I have the Hornby formations booklet, but the details are only from around 1970. Still, the research is quite rewarding when you get into the nitty gritty. Regards Charlie

Evening Charlie, a great video, standard rake of the same colour scheme are now days of the past. Your video has opened ones eyes to the possibilities of mixed colour schemes. Have so many B&C coaches but with different colour roofs and slight variation in red/crimson. The blue mk2 also now mixed in with variations of others. Love having the same colour coaches but now open to mixed and what looks more eye catching. Well it is only a model and time to play trains….lol. Thanks for a great and interesting video, thought provoking. All best Marc

Afternoon Charlie. Hope you and all your family are well 😀 Very interesting and well out together 👍🏻 My favourite year of train spotting was the 70s just getting to the end of colourful coaching stock especially on holiday specials at BTM on a Friday night Saturday morning stop over before heading south west lol 😆 I can remember the 08 marshalling stock on and off differently trains depending on their destination 🤣 Cheers Stevie 👍🏻

That was interesting and very informative and sooo needed, well at least by me, Charlie. Coaching stock is such a grey area for me, and all i have done in the past is bought Green ones. I should be ashamed, I will have a hard job working out my green ones Maunsell, Mk1 and all the types etc as I take them out of the boxes and sit them on a track. This lovely video has or will cause me to take a much closer look, and even think of blood and custard in the future. great job chum. best to you as always Paul at Sandling Junction

Non-rotating tender wheels. Charlie, I think you've discovered a here-to-for unknown track cleaning method! I always loved the old English corridor passenger cars. The staple of all black & white English mystery & drama films. Thanks for the tour.

@alanmusicman3385 2 года назад

Great stuff Charlie, many thanks. I always love the Mk2s and for some reason the exterior ends of them always remind me of round-shouldered coke cans which I think appeared at somewhat the same time! Shame you stopped at the MK2 - the MK3s - especially the later ones - had some terrific innovations. Maybe you could cover those at some stage in the future - so long as you promise to include the MK3 in their best ever livery - the First Great Western "wavy lines" livery.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

An interesting point Alan, but the later liveries are outside of my era I’m afraid. Regards Charlie

@davidmorris8847 2 года назад

Hi Charlie - once again you've done a really good job of giving enough info to show the scope and encourage a bit of research, while staying restrained enough to avoid giving us brain overload! P.S. Another way to add interest to your coaching stock is to install interior details. This might be achieved by adding a few passengers, but could also brought about through a paintwork job to recreate the wooden or formica partitioning and seat upholstery colouring. Ah, railway modelling... just when you think you've cracked it some smartypants throws another challenge on to the table!

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

The interiors of coaching stock is always a dilemma David. Do we add lights, do we add people, do we add carpets, do we paint the seats, do we paint the tables! Where does it all end regards Charlie

@mattjackson8226 2 года назад

Hi Charlie great video as always. Train formations are always interesting. Its nice to mix up coaching stock my sets are a little too uniform really. One issue I have found is I have been fitting the Hunt couplings to different designs of coaches from different manufacturers. This can make it more difficult to couple different designs together. All good fun of course

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Matt. Coupling are the bane of our lives! Regards Charlie.

@StBlazeyModelWorld 2 года назад

Another great informative video Charlie. It is worth noting that in Cornwall trains were often "parked" at a station platform and then moved forward slightly to allow passengers in rear-ward coaches to disembark, in instances where the platform was not long enough to accommodate the whole train length in one go. I have an emotional attachment to the blue era. It may seem odd to your younger viewers but we did not own a family car until 1980. Holidays, usually on the Isle of Wight, always involved train travel. As regards motor rail terminals here in Cornwall, I cannot remember them all but St Austell and Bodmin Parkway were two. The main guts of the St Austell one still remain. Perhaps I should pop down the road and video it before it gets lost forever.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

@chuffinel7676 2 года назад

Love your Videos, they teach me so much in all aspects of the Hobby. I am new to this Hobby and have absolutely nil knowledge about trains, the era's etc etc, other than some are the ''chuff chuff'' type and the others are ''Dee Der Dee Ders''.... 2nd Class Brake Coach ? Well as a First Class paying customer I would be outraged that the Vermin in 2nd Class get Brakes all to themselves Charlie.. :) I would want a refund. My main interest will be the creativity of it all, landscape etc. I am currently purchasing all my stuff in N Gauge Digital to start my layout next year around a whole room.

@timsully8958 2 года назад

A tricky topic well covered Charlie! I always try to make my rakes look feasible rather than historically accurate (didn’t want to say the ‘p’ word that rhymes with analytical 😜) so I go by the rough guide of setting second to first class accommodation in a ratio of about 4 or 5 to 1 and ensuring I have a guards compartment brake in the middle on smaller trains or at each end if it’s an express, plus a catering carriage if it’s inspired by a long haul service (running trains is hungry work! 😅). And well done for tackling the mind-baffling world of carriage stock abbreviations! Enough to make you dizzy 🥴 😂 Cheers mate, great to see so many varieties of stick in one programme 😎🍻👍🍀

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Tim, for such a heartwarming comment. Regards Charlie

@jamier9627 2 года назад

Hi Charlie great point about length of trains up to seven coaches, I think you are spot on. Seven coaches look just about right when depicting a long express train. I think that if you go any longer some thing doesn't look quite right I think it's due to lack of prospective. Same thing with long freight trains 10 to 20 wagons look just as good as 50 plus.

I couldn’t agree more, regards Charlie

Thanks for sharing. It's look like you have a MK1 and MK2 eastern region coachs but this does matter as BR mixed the region up anyway. In the 60s they mixed the colours up .you can find a number of photos with the difference rakes of coaching stock. I am making up the Bournemouth to York service which has green and maroon coaching stock. Look forward to your next video 👍😃

I grew up near Crewe and although I was never a trainspotter I did like trains and used to watch them go past the village all the time, I never used to like mixed carriages though, and as this was the 70s and 80s it was a common occurrence, unlike today I would say (not that I know - lived abroad for 20 years). But anyway, nice video with the usual creativity and fascination.

@gheazell4144 2 года назад

Really helpful video. The variation in colour for ‘blood’ coaches really does show up - courtesy of manufacturers view of what colour paints to use, I suppose. I know the coaches were loans but I do like the odd passenger inside. My dmu’s have a handful and it does help especially when stopped at a station. I guess much depends on how easy it is to dismantle coaches to do this. Worth a mention next time around might be roof colour - gloss or eggshell or Matt. I won’t go into weathering - I haven’t done mine, but like buildings, one sees more of roofs on models than humans on a platform see of real coach roofs. By the way I quite agree with train length to match infrastructure of stations (and storage obviously).

@robertbate5790 2 года назад

Hi Charlie, thanks for the video. And difficult subject simply explained. One aspect I note was missing perhaps was connecting trains of inter region stock, perhaps because of the BR theme. I am sure that they continued for quite some time after '48, and would have introduced their own variations based on pre standardised stocks. As a matter of interest a number of the LNER diners that you referenced last in use into the 80s when dual braked stock was finally withdrawn.

The compatibility issues between certain coach types Robert, was just too complex for this video.I do understand the use of adapters et cetera but I thought it would be a step too far. Regards Charlie

@@ChadwickModelRailway HI, it wasn't couplings I was thinking of, but actual coaching stock workings inter regionally, eg. York Bristol, or Newcastle Portsmouth. The 'portion trains' continued for quite some time after nationalisation.

I enjoyed seeing the variety of coaches found on our railways and their different designs and liveries. As regards the scale ratio, Charlie, it is generally referred to as 1:76 which is an approximation. There are 304.8mm to the foot and as the modelling scale is 4mm to 1ft, if you divide 304.8 by 4 you get 76.2, hence 1:76.2 is the precise ratio, as defined in the P4 Standards. P4 scale is 4mm to 1 foot, but unlike OO scale, applies to everything including the wheel and track standards used by the prototype, from which the P4 Standards are derived. The tolerance allowed in the P4 Standard is generally a maximum of 0.1mm, hence the need to work to a precise scale ratio. Have a good weekend. Best, Jason.

Hi Charlie, Nice presentation on the variety of coaches so many of us remember. I feel sure this will be of interest and of help to those outside the UK interested in and possibly modelling the UK scene. Overseas visitors might be interested to learn about the concept of Inter-Regional Trains, where the mix of coaching stock could be much more varied.......especially at holiday times......where what I might call the 'extremities' of the system, say Devon & Cornwall in the South-West, or Scotland in the North, would often see mixed coaching stock. Added to this is the fact that certain regions, or centres, could often find themselves having to reach out for additional coaches on certain trains, again for the summer period, or even for special events such as Horse Race meetings The Grand National at Aintree Racecousrse near Liverpool, comes to mind here. On such occasions the mix of coach could often be much more varied again, both in the colour of the coaches, but also in the mix of stock such as gangway / corridor stock or suburban. Keep up the good work Charlie...... Your efforts are much appreciated and as informative and delightfully entertaining as ever... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England P.S. Whilst it is possible for people to access details about just what and where the basic regions were after 1948, it might be an idea to show a brief clip of this on your site when you are discussing 'the regions'......it would certainly aid understanding for overseas visitors to your site.... Perhaps a map...? Just a suggestion.

Another brilliant video, spend most my time shunting coaching stock and still cant get my head around the letter system. A point lots of people glance over is most of the mk1 stock was converted to dual air and vac braking and dual ETH and steam heat by BR, allowing them to be used along side the newer Mk2s, as the wouldn't be aloud to be though piped (unbraked) within a passenger train.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Some were even reverted back to vac only. Such is this minefield Ben.

@BoaFilmsPlc 2 года назад

Wonderful video Charlie! One oddity was: All GWR/WR steam & diesel locos (Westerns/Warships & Hymeks) operated on 25 inches of vacuum, compared to all other companies/regions that used 21 inches. This meant that when a train changed it's locomotive to or from a WR loco., all the emergency brake release strings had to be pulled, before recreating the brake to the appropriate vacuum level. This would cause delays as the planners failed to understand this factor. So this could be an interesting prototypical thing to model. Thankfully once vacuum was ended & air brakes were standard this issue did kind of end. the new oddity being the SR EMU fleet.

Couplings again! The connection between the class 50 and the GUV van is doing what tension locks often do when gradients change. A good reason for magnetic couplings which at least avoid this type of problem.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Hi Graham, I’m still unsure of what train to loco coupling that I will eventually choose. I do wish to uncouple with automation but magnets will not allow me to do so. However, initially, let’s use magnets and keep it on the track. Regards Charlie

@ainsleyperry5192 2 года назад

Great video Charlie. Thank you for this overview of coaching stock. In the early day's of British Railway's the Custard and Cream could vary quiet a bit as the paint shops mixed their own colours. There was no standard colour swatch to go by. Some of the cream shade could be paler or more yellow depending on where the coach was shopped. The GWR division used their own pre war cream shade. A double chimney King loco should have a loud "bark" to it's exhaust. The sound chips that are in these models sound like single chimney King's. Train spotting as a kid you knew when a double King was coming long before you saw him. Cheers, Chris Perry.

@peterjackson-cheadleheath1182 2 года назад

Hi Charlie A great video as usual! Although one little thing I noticed was there was no mention of the differance between early Mk2's (or Mk2A's) and MK2b's. Which I think is, the early 'rounded end' Mk2's had a doorway almost centrally of the coach the same as the Mk1 design, whereas the subsequently later batches had doorways only at the ends of the vehicles, to make seating all the way through the coach without having the put a doorway section in the middle, possibly increasing the seating capacity at the time. This is only a very minor niggle and doesn't detract from your explaination but I mention it for completeness. Hope this helps

Was a fascinating vision of British Passenger rail. Which is varied and fascinating in its own right. That was an excellent presentation, and one well aimed at the modeler and the modeler/historian (which many of us wind up being, wanted to or not). Also, the joy of a Club layout is being able to run 'proper' trains--always a boon. Seeing doubled power gave me a bit of hiccup, about the only time I've seen more than one loco was for Special "Excursion" trains. UP has one in the old Red livery with an A-B-A set of D Units that's largely a museum exhibit (I want to remember it's 10-12 custom Pullmans). UP has a set of "legacy" passenger equipment in the Gold livery that is pulled by a brace of E or F units in A-B fashion, and a Power car in a 6-8 consist. Amtrak never seems to run more than one loco, unless fitted with a Helper to get through mountains. Sadly, long gone are the Kitchen cars to serve proper Restaurant cars. Most of the Club cars (and their handy bartender) have gone to become razor blades as well.

I'd have mentioned with the Mk 2b that they also got rid of the central vestibule (and doors). The Mk2c's change is rather boring, they were built with easy retrofitting of air conditioning in mind, but none ever got it.

@2H80vids 2 года назад

Another fine presentation Charlie, Thank you.👍😁 One wee detail, which I don't often see mentioned, is the simple rule that any passenger train, branch or main line, steam/diesel/electric hauled, DMU or loco hauled, pre-grouping, big four, or more modern era, must include a brake van/guard's compartment in the consist. While often the last vehicle, it can just as easily be at the front, or anywhere else in the rake but it must be there. I'm sure 99% of viewers knew that anyway but I've seen expensive locos, hauling highly-detailed stock on exhibition-standard layouts, 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 a van. Apart from ignoring procedure on the real railway, it just looks wrong.😁 I'm referring to UK practice, of course. I would imagine railways in other countries would follow very similar practices but I'm sure viewers from other countries will know the real story.

Good video Charlie on an interesting subject. Some ideas for part 2 : 1. suburban coaching stock - high density coaches for packing in commuters. 2. placing of coach types in rakes I.e. brakes at the ends of rakes, restaurant coaches between classes, restaurants with kitchen cars. 3. Placing of freight in rakes, you mentioned Syphons but also milk tankers and horse boxes which tended to be at the front of rakes to reduce the jerkiness of the ride to protect their loads. 4. Stock you can’t run i.e. air braked stock with vacuum only locos - unless you want to evoke rule 1 of course. BTW You mentioned the green painted Southern region coaches these were well distributed over other regions when the Southern region began to electrify in earnest so don’t feel you can’t run green if you don’t model the Southern. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Hey very useful comments Simon, many thanks. I was aware of the loading of trains, but completely unaware of the restrictions with horses. Great info, regards Charlie

@bionicgeekgrrl Год назад

The southern were early adoptors of air braking in general so shuffled out vacuum brakes sooner than other regions. EtH vs steam heat is another aspect. You can't heat a steam heat train with a 33 for example, as the southern again was ahead of the other regions and moved to eth early on, though because of the 3rd rail, their eth wasn't compatible with the later eth which was designed with the 25kv system in mind, a 73 for instance can't heat a train of eth stock designed for 25kv as it can't supply enough power. The 33s were consequently more powerful than the 26s or 26s as they could fit a bigger engine with the space saving from no boiler. For a summer layout this doesn't pose too much problem, but if you run in winter if would. The southern for a short period ran double headed 33+24s in the early 60s until the new eth stock was ready. Early diesels with steam heat boilers often had problems with them, accounting for a lot of reliability problems faced.
