Awesome update Charlie! So informative and professional. Some amazing views of the layout and the usual warts and all roundup. Thanks mate gave me a real lift at the end of a crap two weeks!.....

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Will what a heartwarming comment. Stay safe mate, regards Charlie

@mikeryan959 2 года назад

Like many, I’d guess, I have been trying to fettle an ageing layout but the truth is the basics just weren’t good enough when I started. I have decided that it is time to start again. Boards can be reused but I have learned that squeezing more into a space is not a good idea. Seeing the quality on Chadwick (and some other great YT layouts that didn’t get my vote) has convinced me that starting fresh is the right move. Thanks for the inspiration!

@grahamthompson6622 2 года назад

I am sure yu are right and applaud your decision to start again. If I were younger (I am 84) I would do the same but no longer have the time. As Charlie points out, this still does not solve all the problems and I still have some stretches of track and pointwork that cause problems despite having no obvious signs of poor design or workmanship.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

I couldn’t agree more Mike, less is often more. Good luck as your project evolves mate, regards Charlie

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

You’re dead right Graham. Sometimes there is a strange incompatibility between track and rolling stock that just can’t be fixed. Regards Charlie

Hello , Charlie. Greetings from Sarasota Florida USA . I throughly enjoy your videos. I don't have the patience or the knowledge to ever be able to do anything close to your layout . So it's just a matter of thanking you for your imagination and skill.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

@grahamthompson6622 2 года назад

Great to see the layout actually running - a terrific achievement. At the end however you touch on issues of reliability and couplings. My layout is of similar complexity to Chadwick but is single track with a 70' long run (excluding the helix) but all compressed into a 10' x 5" scenic section plus a single 4'6" dia. helix board. Tight curves and a veritable switchback of gradients are the order of the day. It has taken me 18 months since the track and wiring was completed to reach a stage where 21 of my normally active 30 trains can be relied upon to run trouble free and pass the "leave and get a coffee" test. These are mostly hauled by early diesels with so far only 7 of my steam hauled trains passing the test. The remaining 9 less reliable trains are mainly steam hauled. I have already discarded as beyond redemption at least 9 steam locos (and countless coaches and wagons) but am persevering with the rest. Apparently random uncoupling remains a problem as of course does derailment. Strangely, a 9f 2-10-0, a 28xx 2-8-0 and a 30xx 2-8-0 are among the reliable units even hauling 8' long trains, while the small ex-Southern 0-4-4 tanks have had to be abandoned even with only an autocoach. It would be interesting to learn in some future Chadwick report how Charlie tacles this problem. My layout is perhaps extreme, but most subscribers must suffer from similar problems to some degree.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

What an excellent comment Graham. I feel that I’m walking in your shadow, or perhaps we are just on parallel paths of achievement. However, my endeavours are only just beginning, wish me luck, regards Charlie

@piers995 2 года назад

I realise that the helixes are only there to serve the purpose of raising the trains to landscape level and when you have completed your model railway they won't be seen, but watching trains run up and down them is rather mesmerising. I take my hat off to you, quite a feat of construction, electronics and digital work. Rather amazing.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Many thanks for your comments peers. However, the Helix may still be visual, although at times I may cover them with a soundproof curtain. Regards Charles

Excellent update. Fun to see things running as they ought to. Cameras are a vexation to all--and if not batteries, then other issues (I prefer batteries, they are simple). Every so often, I'll pop over to some of the G-Scale outdoor layout channels. I do my best to not remember what that lot costs, engines or rolling stock . . . Sadly, the days of a US$25 N-gauge loco have passed us all by. Just one more reminder that our hobby vocations are labors of love not econony.

Another useful video Charlie. First thing to say probably must be how great it is to see trains running. The Puillman really was a beautiful train although I am sad to say I never saw one. Your camera angles really do bring the trains to life for people like me. The time and effort (and money) you have invested has brought great results and I imagine you must be pleased. Thanks again for sharing it Charlie.

Hi Charlie 👍 great update really enjoyed it. Just one thing about your comment about testing trains at shows. As a member of the Warley club we have a test track at the show each year that’s free for anyone wanting to test a purchase before they leave the show. This year we have been making a layout for Hornby called Margate Warren and if any of your viewers purchase a loco at the show I will be happy to test it for them at the show. Keep safe and well Andy

Hi Charlie, I have several container wagons, all with Kadee couplers and you have to mix and match 17, 18 and even 19's depending upon buffer clearance. Even have a Dapol super low set that has a height adjusted Kadee. Interesting note, most of my models are actually Australian. I was running a loco and grain wagons one day, all going well, happily going around, left for a few minutes to to come back to silence. All were on the floor, requiring medical attention.

@SammoKarm 2 года назад

I use a HAWK EYE, Fire Fly. Track camera to inspect the track with, to occasionally check the joints for kinking and condition in areas where the track is covered. I found the same problem as you have experienced with Kadees, so I use a section of track on a board (consisting of 3 set track 18 rad curves) which is used specifically for testing which Kadees I require for everything. Interestingly, you have decided to do the same as I decided about 3 months ago, I also no longer purchase Hornby or Bachmann made locomotives or rolling stock. The prices are unforgivingly extortionate. Again like yourself, I had to do a hell of a lot of work on my coaches with kinematic couplings to get them to run, pull, push and go up and down gradients. Specifically Pullman coaches. Thank you once again for a very well put together quality video. I didn't plan for block detection when I built my layout so unfortunately, automation is not really something I can use.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Many thanks for your excellent comment Sam. However, I am interested on how you got those Pullman coaches to run properly. Regards Charlie

@gregoryhale2202 2 года назад

Hi Charlie. Firstly congratulations on your nomination. The progress you have made on your layout must be extremely satisfying, and it is great to see trains running. When all your trackwork is completed do you propose to conceal the helixes in some form. Thanks for an interesting video. Greg

@SeatedViper 2 года назад

Another gem of a video, Charlie, and thanks for your efforts. Regarding Kadees, my layout is an end to end, fiddle yard to station, so my freight stock has a number 18 at the western end and a 19 at the eastern. I found 18 at both ends was too close in some circumstances, while 19 at both ends was no improvement on hook and bar types. 18/19 is a reasonable compromise.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

How do you say Peter, a great compromise. Stay safe mate, regards Charlie

@leestoddart7014 2 года назад

Another great video Charlie. It's amazing how much progress you've made with the layout. I hope you'll find time in a future episode to show us more about train controller; how you set up routes or time tables and how it interacts with something that you are doing manually. One possible error in your routing crops up at about @17:59 when the freight train goes through Chadwick Parkway Station and takes the line next to the platform rather than using the "fast" line through the middle.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

You make an excellent point Lee, I was thinking that the freight train wood stop to allow the HST to pass straight through. Before I make the TrainController video I just need to become a little more knowledgable. Take care mate. Regards Charlie

@kellypaws 2 года назад

@@ChadwickModelRailway Shouldn't Lee appear on one of your videos at some point? Given that he is the Architect of the layout in no small part. Perhaps a bit of track design using Any Rail, and of course pitfalls to avoid when using it.

Your ability to laugh at yourself, to admit your mistakes and to explain where you went wrong and how you fixed it, and your infectious good humour and generosity of spirit mean you are a living demonstration that real humanity is still to be found on the internet despite so much depressing evidence to the contrary. I have just voted for you in the online poll you mentioned in your video; no one else comes even close. If there is any justice you will win, by a spectacular margin.

Thanks Alastair for such a heartwarming comment. I’m so pleased that you can join me on my railway journey. Regards Charlie

Hi Charlie. Another great video and nice to see your trains running at this stage. Like many others watching you build this layout, it gives us modelers inspiration and fun to watch. You'll certainly get my vote too!

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Paul, that’s very kind of you mate. Regards Charlie

Great Update! Definitely worth all our votes folks! Now... some time ago you were updating your Digitrax handheld controller to the more modern version that I'm now using myself as I head toward Block detection & iTrain. Am I correct in assuming that, you've reverted back to using the older model & if so, though I've not used this one myself, wondered why? PS I've now cast my vote for you, you certainly deserve it 👍

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Firstly, thanks for the vote, much appreciated. I haven’t reverted back to my original DT 400, it’s just that is where its pocket is screwed to the baseboard. The DT602 sits on another outlet. I have no real opinion which is better, but the new one does allow me access to more functions. Regards Charlie

Hi Charlie, it was nice to see the progress that you have made, and watching the trains going round the layout, without hiccup. I have long being buying second hand or kit, and kit-bashing, doesn't mean I don't buy new, but it does cut the cost down, or gives your wallet that appearance, albeit, when one factors in the consumables, paint, wet and dry, blades, drill bits etc, foretunately I made a bulk purchase on blades many years ago, similar for drill bits, and like many I have bought items for projects I will possibly never start, so costwise, swings and roundabouts, but overall, I reckon I have saved quite a bit. Wishing you well, and looking forward to seeing more of your layout's progression, which to me, at least, seems to have similarities to Mckinley, with which i know you have some involvement.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Many thanks for your kind words mate. I’m so pleased that you can join me on my railway journey while we all try to keep the cost down of our fascinating hobby. Regards Charlie

@RobA500 2 года назад

Great work Charlie. Nice demonstration run of your layout though it is comforting to here you still have problems even with your expertise. Good info on the Kadee's I have got a trial pack that I've yet to start on but I'm also considering trying Hunt couplings as well.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

I think you’re right Robin , it’s a mixture of coupling types that solve our various problems. Regards Charlie

Really great video Charlie. My vote is in, congratulations for getting nominated. Hope to see you at GETS on the 8th. Roy.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Many thanks for the vote Roy, but sadly I can’t get to GETS. However I will certainly be at Warley both days, regards Charlie

Not sure if you are aware, but the rope idea is actually used on the real railway, but with chains. The railway is measured in miles and chains due to curvatures ect, as if you were to lay one out along its length. 80 chains is a mile. So the rope is almost (your favourite word) prototypical 😂

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

What a great info Eric. Very much appreciated, regards Charlie

Hi Charlie, I have trouble with my steam engines too mainly on a double slip. Diesels, not a problem Mickgo along quite nicely. I can see why you are a diesel man. Looking forward to the next video.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

You’re not alone with your challenges Michael. Sometimes they drive you nuts.

@haltonroadmodelrailway 2 года назад

Another very enjoyable video Charlie. Totally agree about the cost of diesel locos and stock in general these days. It's a shame really as sometimes the items you really want to add you your layout are totally unjustifiable, especially if you have a family and other priorities like food and electricity!. I occasionally buy hornby railroad models and add the missing details and weathering myself, which if done well can be very effective and also rather satisfying

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

A great philosophy mate. That’s the trouble we have to turn toys into Models. Regards Charlie

@paulhowes8756 2 года назад

Cheered me up Charlie to see trains running on the layout and the camera work and editing as always is first class.

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Paul. Now that things are a little more developed, I wouldn’t mind some more TC advice sometime. Regards Charlie

@paulhowes8756 2 года назад

Thank you for your summer update Charlie. Really excellent progress. I just need to find the time to start on my future first time layout. Good luck with the competition. It would be unfair if I told you who I voted for😬keep up with videos👍

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

Thanks Jeremy much appreciated. I’m so pleased that you could join me on my railway journey, regards Charlie

@worthingtonmodelrailway8628 2 года назад

Charlie, how awesome to see the fruits of your labors, it's obvious that you have been busy over the summer. Unfortunately I have not and my "round touit" list has if anything grown rather than diminished. I always like your honesty and admit that I have more than a few issues that mean I'm not where I want to be with things right now. I'm inspired by your progress, and have decided I need to re-think a couple of areas on the layout that are going to involve some tear down and re-do, but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. e.g. my fiddle yard experiment has not worked, primarily because it's curved, resulting in way too many derailments on the way in and out (the 3 way points don't help either) I need to add to the "loft" and re-situate the fiddle yard to be more accessible and straight. Anyhow, onward and upward and as always enjoy your updates. BTW I saw the new RU-vidr of year yesterday when voting and made what I thought was the most deserving (glad to see you listed) vote :)

@ChadwickModelRailway 2 года назад

An excellent comment Worthington MR. Good luck with your Fiddleyard, perhaps one piece of advice is to only use Peco streamlined curved points, don’t go near the set-track ones. Because Charlie
