Hi Charlie. I realise this isn’t to do with your current video but needed to make a comment. I just wanted to say thanks for the video back on track cleaning. I’ve finally got hold of some Inox and have used it this evening for the first time. I used it in my CMX track cleaner and all I can say to use a Charlie-ism is that it is an “absolute game changer”! Within minutes, engines that have been troublesome for months were working at a really love slow speed with no stalling. Amazing. I’m gobsmacked by how much difference it’s made to my layout. I used to use 99.9% IPA but never again. It’s channels like yours that offer so much useful info - never in a million years would I have used a product like this or had the confidence to do so. So a massive thank you. Keep up the brilliant work and superbly entertaining content. All the best. Ian.

One of the best (and most necessary) skills of a model railroader is the ability to think three-dimensionally. Knowing in your head what the result is supposed to look like allows you to build toward that goal, and I'm often surprised when I realize it's not something everyone is capable of.

Charlie, I've been trying to figure out how I was going to do this exact thing on my B&N. Part of it will be a "forest" to "hid" the fact that the section I have is about 3in deep. Not a lot of room to maneuver to say the least. On my yard side, it goes to a wall that is basically 90 degrees. My original thought was brick. However, seeing your arched retaining wall, this is much more pleasing to the eye for sure!! Thank you for posting this!!

Nice bit of teraforming here Charlie! The great Robert Stephenson is somewhere nodding his approval (and he never had Siri to help him!). Not sure if you're planning to make any more "Quickie" short videos on specific subjects - but one that I'd like to see would be a practical illustration of how you modify existing track to - for example - add in or remove a turnout/point without tearing up great swathes of track either side.

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

That’s an interesting suggestion, Alan, and much appreciated.

@steamfan007 9 месяцев назад

Loved the live Siri intervention, Charlie - happens all too often 🤣 Must admit I hadn't appreciated that such care and attention needed to be applied to the landforms around cuttings and tunnels (which puts my early efforts to shame) but at least I now know where to look for the detailed technical specs - and it means I no longer have an excuse for ignoring that aspect. All this while presented in your usual jovial manner, Charlie. Model Railway realism at its best. Love it 😃 Cheers, Peter

@lassunsschaun6859 9 месяцев назад

3:34 - 4:18 this is due to smaller curve radii then to scale, resulting the coaches on the two tracks leaning more into and outoff the curve, so more clearence is needed ;) and the track spacing depends on the loading gauge of the specific line.

@miketreehouse 9 месяцев назад

I agree, and that made me wonder if by maintaining the distance between the outer rail and the retaining wall would cause an issue. Charlie's track is quite straight at this point, but if it was curving more then there could be an issue with a clash between a longer carriage and the wall.

@lassunsschaun6859 9 месяцев назад

@@miketreehouse Yes, if you want to look it up in more detail this would be (for Europe) NEM 102 (straight) and NEM 103 (curved) edit / forgot about: NEM 112 Track Spacing, then you would need to convert from H0 / S scale to OO, but for that we would need to know the radius and how long Charlies longest coach/waggon is.

Another interesting video Charlie for which thanks. The odd noise during the video was quite obvious to me...Siri was leaving the room!! I am not quite sure I understand the last bit...You have glued the cellotex in position, so how are you going to ballast in the tunnel? Yes, I often wondered about the 6ft way gauge. Apparently I was advised it was to allow trains to pass on curves without touching...perhaps foresight into todays longer rolling stock? An interesting fact I discovered by accident...if you lay N Gauge track using the Peco Gauge, the inner 2 rails are OO Gauge. Cheers, Bob

@philthrower8264 9 месяцев назад

Great video Charlie. On the subject of the 6' spacing, perhaps the disparity between the PECO way gauge and the actual scale measurement is because the track gauge is 16.5mm and not 18.83mm. Bringing the rails together will obviously require compensating with a wider 6' (if that makes sense?).

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

Well that’s an interesting thought Phil. Regards, Charlie

@Degsie1975 9 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same. HO track is too narrow for OO gauge. So the track gauge gives a greater distance to ensure the bodies of the trains are the correct distance apart.

@lassunsschaun6859 9 месяцев назад

It´s the auxiliary reason in case of OO, but those where the gauge has the correct scale (for example H0) got more spacing, too, because of the smaller, not to scale, curve radii, while thoses scales/gauges where the minimal radii are to scale (for example Protofour) can have spacing build to scale ;)

Hello Charlie, this was a great watch last night with the first part on my break between duties on the big train set and finishing off the video once I’d got home in the small hours. I love that you leave these Denis Norden moments in, captures so much personality and adds such a great touch to the videos. I’m a bit of a Luddite with it comes to the modern world but Siri made me chuckle there! Echo other comments that taking into consideration the landscape and how this was formed over time is an excellent thing to consider and a great pointer to give to those planning models and features. Cheers Charlie and best for now, Alex

Hi Charlie, I know it sounds obvious, but I never considered the land flow. I now use it all the time. Completely changed my layout. As also, thanks for your wisdom. Being a beginner, you make life so much easier. Blessings Anthony

I like how, as the thing evolved a bit, you caught the detail I had noticed, that the top of the arches wanted to align to the top of the tunnel mouth, as a logical bit of geoengineering. The remaining slope could then be battered back as necessary with brick walls where the natural slope was or was not "competent" (that being a geoengineering term for slopes which "behave" and not slip or pitch rocks or the like). That will be a smashing bit of landscaping. If wanting more than a few hours to get sorted.

Charlie I see so many people quote the ballast shoulder referring to ballast slopping away from the sleeper ends which is incorrect the ballast shoulder which as per the permanent Way Association book on British railway track volume 9 track terminology a ballast shoulder is the ballast placed at the ends of the sleepers, timbers and bearers to provide lateral stability to the track, it goes on to say the Ballast Shoulder Surcharge is a specified additional quantity of ballast added to the ballast shoulder of continuously welded track to provide additional lateral stability . Also known as Ballast Hump; shoulder heap . I will try and dig out extracts from track design handbook and send them via a message as you can’t attach images to comments on RU-vid. I note the cross section you refer to correctly states concrete trough and not cable trunking which seems to emanate from companies producing details to,add to layouts and who use the wrong terminology. By the way you only get sleepers on plain line track in switches and crossings you have bearers.

Great information Gary, and I’d appreciate the documentation to which you refer. Regards, Charlie

The open area where the surface mounted point motor is on the hill side could be a prefect place to put a tunnel access doorway to act as a cover to the point motor.

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

Well that’s an interesting suggestion. Regards, Charlie

@kieranbeecroft8414 9 месяцев назад

Charlie, when "fixing" that chipped part of the wall. can I recommend you find a way to patch it in "normal" brick, like you see on walls/structures on the railways... It would be a small feature that would break up the uniformity

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

Now, that’s a great suggestion Kieran. Regards, Charlie

@kieranbeecroft8414 9 месяцев назад

@ChadwickModelRailway you can even keep the rapairs behind and not flush with the retaining wall... add that 3D element that multiple layers of brickwork needed repair, and lazy/cheap engineering only fixed one layer

Merkur also do a range of arches and retaining walls in styrene foam. It can be drybrushed with matt emulsion paint. Leyland paints do a shade called Portland Stone which is great for sandstone and even London brick. It tends to snap if bent too far. One solution is to make shallow parallel notches on the back. I made a viaduct from it including the under arches using this technique. After a few years it can dry out and become a bit fragile . Applying a backing of masking tape will give some extra strength. I am just rebuilding the layout having had to put it in mothballs to insulate the roof so refixing the Station side walls is an upcoming job (think Carlisle). Thanks for another great and uncannily well timed video. For a more rigid construction try laser cut mdf or wood. Several UK companies now supply a wide range of building parts. (Kolat creations and www.lasercutrailwaymodels.co.uk/OO-GAUGE-RETAINING-WALL-NO1-FINE-SCALE for example. Apart from insulation board and plaster the building works also yielded a self adhesive scrim tape mesh which should be useful for scenic work. For freestanding structures you can improve strength by sandwiching thin ply or plasticard between two outer skins of embossed foam board.

Hi Charlie,,,l have a tunnel that the side of the hill looked to steep, and i was going to cut it down ,then i watched this video,,and saw you cutting and drawing of the side walls ,angles etc so how i thick i can do something similar,,,Great as always ,many thanks 😅

@andrewstevenson5449 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Charlie - another enjoyable and informative video. I wonder if the reason why the Peco track gauge is a scale 8' rather than 6' because the track gauge is 1:87, and they're allowing for 1:76 OO stock. Or maybe they're just allowing for how much model rolling stock "swings out" on the way too sharp curves we have to use in model.

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

I think it’s more or less based on folklore! Regards, Charlie

@anthonystevens8683 9 месяцев назад

Nice one Charlie, this is all good information some time down the line when I've had my 'initial' layout design. I won't say final as these things tend to evolve during the layout build and new ideas along with 'why did I do that?' questions arise. Lots to consider, the layout, the decision for DCC and computer control and of course the landscape. My design timeline needs to consider all of these so it could take some time before I actually come up with an end to (nearly as we never really finish) end plan. Once again many thanks for sharing. I look forward to the next one.

It will be nice to add a service road from the TMD up to the freight yard. Its a bit like reading where you had the split depot areas one being above the other. Similar vibe, be worth looking at some photos of it to get some inspiration

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Eric, there will be a road. Regards Charlie.

Charlie, yet another great video. I am going through the exact same issue at the moment, with my latest layout iteration. What was the land like before the Engineers started their magic. You are right about the 3am wake-up with a eureka moment on how to address the problem. I still have to address my hillside, and the tunnel mouths, so you are giving me inspiration, but that leads to perspiration. I look forward to the next installment. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Michael, I’m so pleased that the video was particularly suitable. Nothing wrong with a good bit of theory to get the old grey cells going. Regards Charlie

@hughoconnor9172 9 месяцев назад

Clearly good progress! The one thing that worries me is the very high level freight yard- is there any real life examples of such a situation? One possible solution would be old mining area to the side and the freight yard having been built on the former site?

@ChadwickModelRailway 9 месяцев назад

I do understand your point of view Hugh. However, I do need to ensure that the layout has its playability for multiple operators. Regards, Charlie

As always great video! I'm enjoying this project and seeing it developing. 👍😉 Best thing with landscaping - there's no need to be perfect because in nature nothing is perfect.. 👌😊 In reality, I've seen dirt removed because of safety and added due to leveling.. That's mean's You can do anything what Your imagination wants! By now, everything is great, including plan changes multiple times - that's all of creativity process.. 😂 Waiting for next part! 😉
