Charlie. Can't say how much I enjoy watching your videos. With the amount of work I'm doing because of this dreadful virus. Your videos are a huge part in keeping me sane. Thank you.

@antoinebesnehard 3 года назад

Totally agree with you John on the "keeping sane" effect of Charlie's videos. Also worth mentionning : Luke Towan from Down Under and his videos about scenery and dioramas have the same effect on mental health ! Thanks to you guys for the nice moments you give us with your modelling channels.

Another enjoyable and informative video. Especially like the way you show that you don’t need to be an expert joiner to build such good baseboards. It’s worth noting, when buying plywood from B&Q, and other suppliers, they offer a free cutting service, so you can just the board you need, and get them to cut it to suit, including all your strips in one go, saving you time, money and effort. x The Bigfella x

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

Morning Charlie, if I had a hat on I'd take it off to you. That is a brilliant, strong, neat piece of building. At long last my brain can now see, imagine, what you're doing. How the station will come into it and how the trains appear from the helix. Very well worked out. Good luck with keeping that amount of track clean. But I'm sure you've taken that onto account. Charlie the whole area is going to look fantastic and what great photo opportunity you'll have very soon. And the running sessions you'll have will be fantastic. Keeping track of a all the trains will be marvellous to see. Good for you. Bet you can't wait to get back to running trains! I hope you can continue with your supply of materials in this new lockdown. Charlie you and your family stay safe, I'm looking forward to the next one Eddy xx

An interesting point mate, regards Charlie

@terrylove3247 3 года назад

Charlie, as far as I'm concerned I could watch you screw every screw so to say you won't bore us with every detail I think you are wrong. It all adds to the learning curve and ideas of how things can be done. So don't skimp on filming on how and what you are doing. This is facinating watching it all come together. I must admit though that the maths are a little bit beyond me. Keep the vids coming. Also, just a thought if you haven't already done so, the horizontal pieces of the "T" should be tapered to support the board. Regards, Terry

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

Hi Terry, I'm so pleased that you enjoy the videos. When you say tapered, do you mean the top angle of the "T" piece? Regards Charlie

@nickcoles518 3 года назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway I had the same thought - while you are dropping the height of each T, the top of those T's is flat. So when/if you come to screw the track bed to the top of them the track bed (with the thinner ply) may have an odd profile. I.E. You will get slope - flat section - slope - flat section - slope etc

@@ChadwickModelRailway Hello Charlie, that is how I am reading this comment. However, instead of tapering the top of the ‘tee’, it may be possible to assemble the ‘tee’ with 1no screw and wood adhesive. My thought is you would be able to place the baseboard on the ‘tee’s and the angle of the top of the ‘tee’ could be adjusted to follow the underneath of the baseboards. My regards, David.

@Peakxv750 3 года назад

Charlie add another loop to the helix. I know it's a lot of work but the gradients on the layout will look better for it.

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

I think that you’re right I just need to watch the clearance below Barnstable station and how steep the run-up to it will be.

@janlabuscagne165 3 года назад

@bigfella1952 3 года назад

Gradients take up more distance than people realise and unfortunately we only realise we have the slope too steep when we try to run a Train up it, which is far too late in the day, If anyone is struggling with gradients. an easy way to set it out, is to buy a pack of polystyrene Woodland Scenic Gradients, which come in different slopes: and are flexible for curves. They can be used to gauge the gradients, set your track too, Then do a practice run with track temporary pinned to test. Then using the polystyrene slope as a template to make wooden supports, for your gradient, and be used as many times as you need on your layout, Alternatively if funds would allow buy sufficient kits to complete the track work.. The gradients can be glued to a flat baseboard or an open framework Hope this helps x The Bigfella x

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

Yes I think you’re right. Gradients are all about research and trial and error to ensure that you’ve got workable slopes. Regards Charlie

For what it's worth my entire layout is of open baseboard design made of that 9mm ply from B&Q. Similarly, I went for a brace every foot. It's held up pretty well in the 12 months that it's been together - only aprox a half mm sag at most of the track bed between braces. All the best, Jon M.

@richardkerr5652 3 года назад

Hello Charlie. Interesting and well presented video as always. On our club layout we have a fiddle yard below accessed via long inclines at 1 in 60 (avoiding the drag of curves on a helix) and even that is a challenge for some locos with long trains. Steep pulls lead to slow running and you can end up with trains spending much more time running hidden than they are on the scenic section. We seem to spend quite a bit of time peering underneath to check what’s going on and to sort out running issues. I know you are using magnetism for enhanced adhesion, but I would think very carefully before committing to such a steep incline.

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

I think that you’re right Richard, it looks like an extra layer on the helix and reduce its incline is my best option. Regards Charlie

You need a laser level Charlie! Even a broken one that don’t self-level would be ideal for you here... setting up inclines (helix) transitions and the likes. You don’t need to follow the laser line exactly (can be to perfect). Working with such a laser line and OUT of LEVEL or OUT of PLUMB is more common than you think. If you do work in this fashion, pencil a few “fixed” datums around the helix and incline areas, in case laser line needs relocating. Auction site you’ll find one spares or repairs cheap... as long as laser works. As always 👍 from me. 🇬🇧

@steveng5503 3 года назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway Yeah, some you can lock-off and some you cant. Some flash when severely out of level/plumb which can be annoying.

My gosh Charlie that line into the helix looks like a ski slope!! I would strongly advocate for adding another loop to the helix lowering the clearance between each loop to the absolute minimum. If one has to choose between two conflicting criteria, to me, reliable operation on the mainline is paramount. Then deal with the resultant increase in the grade into the station. Scenically it would be easier to "sell" a short steep approach into a station than an overtly unrealistic length of steep mainline.

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

I’m with you on this one mate, I think you’re pushing on an open door. But it’s worth checking it out to see what is viable. Regards Charlie

@2H80vids 3 года назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway It would be nice to keep enough gradient to make it 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 like the main-line is climbing a bank. I would have to agree though, that does look a wee bit steep, even for BR(W). If you ease the gradient using the helix, the climb to Barnstaple may help to give more of an illusion of the main-line climbing too, in the opposite direction. Coupled with whatever actual slope remains in the main-line, it should still look pretty impressive. Something that occurred to me: the junction at the top of the hill might look more impressive if you can use some fancy, very gentle pointwork, giving a really realistic profile to the flow of your lines. I know someone makes "𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠" points - Peco? As an important feature on the layout, that might help avoid the slightly unrealistic junctions we see all too often , on 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 layouts of course.😁 Please don't skimp on filming the construction of the open-frame scenery. You won't "bore us"; this is something that isn't often covered. Happy New Year Charlie. I wonder what Chadwick will look like this time 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 year.

Nearly de rigeur in US layouts, often less-common bits of dimensional lumber (1x3, 2x3 and the like, with flatwork plywood supported with 1x2 scraps--often bargain bin scraps and offcuts from the local lumberyard. Often only the ROW width of the track is actually in plywood, any scenery between built up in hollow-shell plaster, or sprung up from "door skin" (thin veneer for flush panel doors, hence the name).

It certainly seems like you like making things complicated for yourself Charlie! That being said, when complete, I'm sure it will work well and look spectacular!!

@richardwillcox3571 3 года назад

Happy new year Charlie. It's looking good. I think it might be a good plan to provide some cheap lighting over the bottom layer. That cheap led lighting strip for kitchens sold on E bay should do the trick. If things don't go 100%, and they seldom do, you might be glad you've installed it.

@ChadwickModelRailway 3 года назад

An excellent point Richard. I have considered buying those strips of LED lights. Perhaps still more research. Regards Charlie

Charlie, very informative video, it’s good to see that the viaduct is back on the layout. The alternative way your doing the baseboards is the route I’m after taking, therefore this video is helping me to realise what is in store when it comes to my own.
