Charlie, one of the absolute flairs of your channel is how you handle mistakes on camera. You’re not weary of answering, nor do you show any sign of being afraid to lose face.
We all make mistakes, and as a matter of fact, our very best way to learn is from our very own mistakes.
The way you show how to tackle such is a learning experience in itself.
Love the work and the progress, as well as the view into your process. Looking good!!!
Thanks for the heartwarming comment Vince. Regards Charlie.
My worst mistake was not knowing Charlie’s video’s existed before I started two years ago the time and money iv’e wasted.
As Charlie would say “We live and learn.
I can't believe you went to so much effort to model the whole hill, including rock face, only to make a cutting through it. Amazing attention to detail.
I know Alex but I believe that the new plan a is better. Regards Charlie
Great work re-using the old hillside. It's good to see that it won't go to waste.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it Terkzorr. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
The new hill fits in lovely with the backscene on the right hand side there... couldn't have planned that better really
Thanks Sean I must confess there was a little bit of luck involved too, regards Charlie
Great work as always Charlie. Glad you're able to reuse some of the scenic sections after all the work you put into them!
Thanks Al, and I’m so pleased that you found it interesting.
Another fantastic job, great re-use of scenery 👍👍
Thanks Simon I’m so pleased that you found it interesting, regards Charlie
Charlie, another super video! I love the way you showed us how to recycle what one has already made.
Thanks Jade I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, regards Charlie
Excellent video Charlie. Simple and practical as ever.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great use of your old scenery Charlie
Looks nice
Thanks Nicholas, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
It's a real pleasure to watch your video's thanks for sharing your ups and your downs to model railway building
Thanks Andy, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Excellent re-use of the landscape Charlie, the station approach is really coming together nicely 👌
Thanks Joseph, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Never knew you could get catch points!!. Enjoyed that Charlie..Thank you..all the best.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Tim.
Wiring and scenery look great!
Thanks, I’m so pleased that you like it, regards Charlie
Another interesting and entertaining 20 minutes, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Roger, I’m so pleased to have you on board, regards Charlie
I love the wall. It looks so good. Getting the line of the wall is so good. You really have a good eye for that. Good fun. Thanks Charlie. the fan from Toulouse,
Thanks Kevin, I’m so so pleased that you found it interesting.
Another really interesting video that offers both ideas and indeed hope to us mere mortals....
Thanks Neal, I do hope that the video will be of some use in the future. Regards Charlie
Great scenery recycling Charlie. The wall looks really good.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it Clive. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
Great use of the foam wall sections, Charlie; they went in better than I expected! The transition from the viaduct section to the station looks like it will pan out well. Looking forward to seeing the station itself come around. Always something to do - no, always LOTS to do! Thanks for another great video!
Thanks Pat, what a heartwarming comment. But you’re right we have a huge amount of work left to do on our layouts. Regards Charlie
The finished retaining walls look good and I will certainly look to installing some on my layout. Well done for the inspiration!
I’m so pleased that you found it useful Paul.
Only seeing this vid today. I smiled when you said how hot Hot Gluing is. I like looking at other people like yourself modelling and remodelling train layouts. But at the end I actually laughed to myself when you said how sharp scalpel blades are. You brought back memory when I was doing a layout about 30yrs ago aand using a scalpel blade CAREFULLY. it slipped and cut the top clean off my little finger. No pain then. I blanked out. Blood all over the place. A plaster put on it. Then a few days later plaster had to come off....you can guess the panic on that. So I went to hospital to have said plaster removed. Same scenario as the fresh cut. Doctors asked was top of finger under the plaster, No it was on top of Blade and in the bin.
When they seen the clean neat flat top they jokingly said I should have been a surgeon....anyway re bandaged. And I can tell you pain when I touched off something was bad. So word to the wise...Scalpel Balde ARE sharp....so my modelling career came to an end then. Hence looking at videos like this CMR one makes modelling safer because others are getting Burned and Cut doing them.
On a straight note. Good vid and very informative. Hope the model has progressed big time...from an Irish Viewer.
A great comment DMM. I have done something similar to one of my fingers though, clearly not as deep as yours. I’d like to say that we learn from our mistakes, but not always!
Regards Charlie
The retaining wall looks great, Charlie. Another excellent video as usual!
Thanks Roy I’m so pleased that you found it interesting mate. Regards Charlie
Great video again Charlie! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.
You’re most welcome Onno.
Really taking shape now Charlie! The cutting and retaining walls will look brilliant.
Thanks Dave, I’m so pleased that you like the effect. Regards Charlie.
Charlie, that is really looking great. I like how you re-used some of the old layout into the new area. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. Ken
Thanks Ken I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, regards Charlie
I finally start work on my layout next week Charlie, great tips on wiring and landscaping.
I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful Jason. Regards Charlie
Well done on all the angles on the retaining wall. Also great to see progress a year ago it felt like a series on how to take apart a model railway.
I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying the ride Rob, regards Charlie
Super video again Charlie and now considering one of those retaining walls for my planned layout as they look really good. Thanks.
That’s great news, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
as mentioned before just love your work Charlie, many thanks for your efforts which i am sure are considerable.
Thanks Peter, it’s very kind of you to say so, regards Charlie
Redoing a section of scenery myself at the moment and will try to reuse what I have already made. Another very instructive and thought provoking video Charlie!
Thanks Mike, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Excellent Video. Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome mate, regards Charlie
As to be expected from your good self Charlie - another cracking video on how to get the best from Noch's retaining walls. Really enjoyed that one !! Cheers Euan
Thanks Euan, it’s great to have you onboard mate. Regards Charlie
Truth be told, I was puzzled by your wiring on the previous video; looks much neater now. Thanks for the demonstration of the Noch retaining walls - definitely something I’ll be following up.
Thanks Will, I’m pleased that the video is of use mate. Regards Charlie
That’s a fantastic result! I’d been looking for a good way to do retaining walls, and I’ll definitely give the Noch ones a try! Always enjoy your videos, they’re a great way to spend the weekend! Thanks!
Thanks Ed I’m so pleased that you found the video useful, regards Charlie
Very nicely done, Charlie!
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it flyboy 2610. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
Looking excellent Charlie, really coming on now. Nice reuse of existing scenics, looking forward to the next one. 👍
Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my recycling. Regards Charlie
Another rewarding video....keep the ideas and product reviews coming.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it John, regards Charlie
Very good , and you've still got all your fingers !
Always a bonus! Regards Charlie
Great work again Charlie wish i was further along can't wait to see some greenery on my layout. Regards Alan
All in good time I’m sure Alan. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie. Another great video. Your layout is coming on really well. The retaining wall is looking good and blends in really well with the recycled scenery. A bit of light weathering will finish the job off nicely. Keep up the good work. Cheers Chris.
Thanks Chris, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it, I shall do the weathering when the whole thing is complete. Regards Charlie
Great work, and I wish imines about that range of Noch products when I was building my retaining walls!
Yes they are a useful asset Keith, regards Charlie
Thank you for this nice Video! Kind regards from Vienna
Thanks Christian it’s great to have you on board.
Those Retaining Walls are very interesting. I can see all kind uses for them.
I couldn’t agree more mate. Regards Charlie
Great work Charlie. I've been a fan of Chooch retaining walls. They are flexible rubber.
Thanks Mark, regards Charlie
Well done again Charlie, super video!
I had clocked the way you had originally wired this section in last weeks video, but just thought you’d done it that way for a reason.
The retaining wall looks brilliant and will give you a nice cutting to watch trains disappear and reappear through.
Things are really taking shape now and I’m sure it won’t be that long before you get this part finished and move onto the other helix or lower part of Chadwick!
Enjoying the ride!
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you found the building of the wall interesting . Regards Charlie
Another great video, retaining wall looks great, and nice to see previous hillside reused to good effect. With your love of neat wiring, did wonder about not concealing, but figured your layout, your choice. Didn't read the comments on the last one but hope people remembered to play nicely. Your episode on rivet counters and keyboard warriors is still one of my favourites.
Thanks Chris, it’s great to have you onboard.
Looks Fantastic, enjoy your videos, Thank you so much for sharing....
Thanks Dave, it’s great to have you on board. Regards Charlie
Great video, Charlie. I am going to have to look at the retaining wall as it may solve a scenic dilemma I have. Thanks for your continuing entertainment. Roy.
I’m so pleased that it’s of interest Roy.
Finally sat down with a coffee to watch this weeks installment. Chopping up scenery again !!!! Aaaargh. I’ve only just finished the course of counselling after the last hillside went under the knife. Noooooo... ;-) Major win that it all dovetails back in very nicely. Must try some of that Noch retaining wall... cheers J
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Julian, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie I enjoyed your latest video of chadwick the product that you were using the noch retaining wall looks like a nice addition to any layout great video as always your videos always gives me great inspiration to try things out on Beighton Parkway thanks again
Kind Regards
Kev
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video Kev, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie...wow that's awesome..thanks for sharing and keep up the great work... Lance..hope to get working in my train shed soon like that..
Thanks WMRR, I’m so happy that you find some inspiration in my videos.
Great scenery work and love the adaptation of existing and making it blend in and a stunning piece of artwork. When I was a kid a long time ago used to see loads of trap points everywhere and hardly noticed them until learning the art of sitting on the front of a DMU on the right with almost a drivers view which was exciting on the way to do some shed loco spotting. We called them 'slip points' and I suspect many are still in situ although probably not designed to be used...? I think when weathered they will look great and have you noticed how many lengths of track are left by the side or in between track after engineering has taken place? The stretch of track between Alexandra Palace Station and Kings Cross is like a junkyard with all the bits and odds from new sidings and other works, make Steptoe blush!
Yes Iain I’ve got to address the detritus to be dumped along my tracks. Regards Charlie
Another great video thanks Charlie.
Thanks Andrew, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting mate. Regards Charlie
Great way to re-use the hillside, that retaining wall looks nice against it. I’ll have a look into getting some of that as it seemed easy to use and is very effective.
Just watch your fingers Rob, a scalpel blades can be vicious! Regards Charlie
Always honest Charlie, a truly rare quality in today’s world, well done!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Paul, regards Charlie
Love how you reuse parts Charlie at least you can save time plus in this day and age its all about renewable resources keep up the awesome job really loving this model
Thanks Adam, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
@@ChadwickModelRailway your channel is amazing so entertaining so much great info even how you do stuff step by step it never seems to drag on you leave us wanting more to watch well done m8
Another good one Charlie. I must chase up that retaining wall, it looks just what I need. I was a little concerned for your fingers at one stage there but it all turned out ok.
Yes, no bloodshed this time thankfully Alan!
Regards Charlie,
Charlie, thoroughly enjoying your very informative channel. Feel like you’re my personal railway modelling mentor.
Always look, forward to seeing your next steps. 👍
That’s very kind of you to say so buddy.
I think I made this self-pitying comment a few times earlier on, that being I couldn't even afford a hot glue gun at the moment, so thanks for sharing this, enjoyable for the present and ideas for the future. Great as always.
Thanks Chris, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting.
Great layout Charlie. I’m not quite up to snuff on the DCC wiring as I am still DC but I think between yours and other channels I feel like I’m getting the “ gist “ of it. Thanks and Cheers 🍻 from across the pond.
Thanks Patrick I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful mate. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie been looking for retaining wall ideas they look just wot I want thankyou for that 👍
I’m so pleased that you found it useful Mark.
Great video Charlie! Looking forward to the video you are hopefully planning on the weathering phase of this stretch.
All in good time Dan.
Hi Charlie, they look really good and definitely something I will look into. Thanks for sharing, regards, Chris
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video Chris, regards Charlie
I love watching the way others do their layouts, getting ideas on both new and re-using. I have a "hot knife" I use for cutting styrofoam. Not that it would be classed as environmentally friendly these days :). I don't really think it's any quicker than the handsaw though.
Thanks for another great tutorial and update.
Just watch out for the fumes when using the hot wire Brendan, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, I’m glad you changed the wiring, it looks so much better. Love the retaining wall that’s a brilliant idea. I hope you cleaned up the celotex mess before you get moaned at again lol.
Clean up what mess?
It took ages!
A lovely piece of work Charlie and the retaining wall looks smashing along that section of scenic's. Also it is good to show that older built scenes are be re-used/recycled into the modification on the layout boards. Never a waste to to keep things to use later than having to rebuild a new section to fit in. If I lived near you I would love to give you a hand rather than relying on ones body to hold things while cutting. Any way I great bit of footage Charlie as always with your skills and know how to building a layout and taking us on your journey with Chadwick. I received my wonderful GT3 from KR Models this morning and I imagined test running her thru your cutting. What a sight to see if only you could look into my mind, it is an amazing view, LOL.
What a great comment John, thank you. Yes we all like to up cycle, rather than recycle, we just can’t waste the stuff can wait. Good luck with your new beast I hope it serves you well, regards Charlie
Hello Charlie,
id like to share a story of a railway modeller who had the good fortune of winning a very sizeable lottery jackpot. He left his low paid manual labour job at the council, taking great pleasure of telling his boss exactly what he thought of him as he walked out the door .
He found a redundant railway station which he bought and converted the buildings on Platform 1 into a dream home. But there was a problem. His property had 2 platforms separated by a busy quadruple track main line (Slow up on platform 1, track2 was fast up,track3 was Fast Down, track4 was the slow down line on Platform 2.
The original footbridge between platforms 1 and 2 has long since been demolished. To reach platform 2 he faced a 10 minute walk to the nearest crossing point and another 10 minute walk back. Platform 2 had become the home to his expansive model railway so he decided to apply to have a footbridge reinstated between the two halves of his property.
Being cash rich he employed an architect to design a replacement footbridge but foolishly the design submitted included a profile not dissimilar to the arch of Paddington Station's roof and incorporated a "viewing room" above the 4 tracks so he could "spot " the passing trains.
Im not sure if the planning committee rejected his proposed bridge plans on the grounds of poor taste. Or was it that the chair of the committee was his ex boss who was heard to say that he thought the applicant had "ideas above his own station."
A great tale David, and hopefully it’s based on truth. What a lucky gentleman, regards Charlie
Nice one again Charlie, although I've been modelling for 20 years or more, every week I come back to" Chadwick" to see the progress and learn even more !!!!
What a heartwarming comment Anthony, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie love your videos a standard to work towards. Regards catch points, just an observation there was one on a passenger line , Exeter Central to Exeter St David’s. Head hanging out listening to a Class 50 you would see it as you ventured down the curve. I did ask the station official what it was used for, it was a converted siding that has saved the day when HEA hopper broken free from it compadre’ s going through Central on way to Exmouth. They simply reversed reattached the couplings and they were away, left a nice divot in the earth works. So it was a reused point and it was on a passenger route, so a Western Region example. Was years ago when I was in the mob mid 1980s always got a 50 avoid HST’s so traveled that route often.All best stay safe Richard
What a great comment Richard. Very interesting to reminisce ones past, regards Charlie
Good stuff Charlie, enjoyed the video! The Noch retaining walls are very good, I investigated and they also do them for N Gauge. I have had many a battle with a hot glue gun and lost oouch! Cheers Gary
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Gary, yes hot glue guns are hot, the clue is in the name. But we never seem to learn!, Regards Charlie
looking good keep up the good work on the layout
I’ll do my best mate.
Another blinder!!! Love the retaining walls and luckily a cheaper week for me. In the past month or so, following your videos, I’ve needed to buy a Brother heat shrink printer, 2 DCC Concepts Alpha Meters 5 PSX units, a crimping tool set and lots of decent quality connectors. This week I can keep my wallet in my pocket (already followed you down the hot gun road) and get on with a complete rewire of my railway. Every penny is well spent and I wish I’d had your advice before starting this wonderful hobby. Thank you Charlie. Regards, Tony
Well Tony, that’s a lot of expenditure. Still, if you buy cheap told you buy twice. Take care mate, regards Charlie
Really good vid the glue gun is brilliant I wouldn't be without it apart from when a get glue on my hand lol, keep up the good work
Yes Ewan, glue guns demand respect!
Another great video Charlie - Thank you. Great to see the "knowledgeable" comments on the prototype, but, as everyone agreed, it's your railway and you do as you want. Makes for useful discussion. Take care and keep safe.
Thanks John I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. I still believe that prototypical is a swearword! Regards Charlie
Super. Glad you mentioned the scalpel warning at the end! (And I looked closely for the sticky plaster on the wound on your hands, haha, but no....none seen). Looking really impressive (the hill and wall) and the new wall looks really nice against the DMU. Well done 😊
Thanks Ian, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie.
@@ChadwickModelRailway
Dear Mr. Bishop,
The only things I find not very interesting in your videos are the ones that deal with DCC wiring and related items. This is because I run a strictly DC layout, not because your DCC videos are somehow deficient. But, neither do I whinge about your DCC videos, they just do not happen to represent what I am doing currently. Perhaps in a year or two I will convert to DCC, as there is an Open Source system, named in the US as OpenDCC. Pretty reasonable name for it, in my view.
More on that subject here.
opendcc.sourceforge.net/#:~:text=The%20OpenDCC%20Project%20exists%20to%20develop%20Open%20Source,to%20develop%20their%20own%20devices%2C%20which%20hopefully%20
Then for us Arduino nuts (= a microcontroller set of systems originally started, I believe, as always I could be wrong, by a university group from Italy) there is this link below.
mrrwa.org/
No need to purchase expensive hardware, but it does help to be a reformed high end programmer and low end electronics technician, so if you are looking for a buy a box, drop it out and plug it into a pre-engineered system, you may be better off looking elsewhere. Actually, if you are one of those then I suggest you look elsewhere. I am not saying that in a snotty way, but some of us have spent decades programming systems all the way from assembly language Motorola 6803 devices up to massive virtual server systems. I am one of those, and was an expert on very large SQL Server systems, until I failed in my career path and dared to appear at interviews with gray hair - a mortal sin within the borders of the USA, and increasingly the same within the currently 4 nation UK. So, I retired before the age of 65 in the USA and am having a blast. My blood pressure is down, I sleep well at night, and look forward to each new day.
I have a friend in Bangladesh that I keep up with on a daily basis. And others of Asian lineage within the US and elsewhere. I even dare to consort with 'Blacks' at the museum and to be honest, amongst the population of the US, I have found that they enjoy my sense of humour far more than the average American pseudo-Europeans. Just my observation, make of it what you will, but I doubt you have spent decades living in several regions of the USA.
I will be showing off our collection of 1:1 scale railway equipment at the railway museum I am a volunteer for, on Sunday after 2PM, or 14:00 hours in UK parlance. And yes, we have exchanged phone numbers - the tour group will consist of myself, a gentleman originally from Iceland, now living in Vermont and married to an American who after 2 years in Blighty revolted at the idea of spending any more time under the dull skies of my home country along with the seemingly endless fits of gloomy fog and occasional actual rain storms, along with a Yank who resides on the east side of the San Francisco bay in California. Seems they are both involved with the movie industry, but oddly like trains and very much like being shown things by a crazy ex-pat Brit. And I hope to learn more about photography, and maybe the making of videos. From the two gentlemen mentioned before.
Who knows, I may show up with a CZcams channel named Yank Chadwick Model Railways. There is a problem though in that my railway is modeled after a shortline railway that happens to be a sold off division of the US Southern Railways. I have an excellent map of all Georgia rail lines, now if I can just find a connection with something named Chadwick....
Cheers, my friend. And peace to all of yours and even those who make silly comments about your excellent videos.
Rich M.
Another excellent video Charlie , just replaced my old glue gun with a Bosch , walls look really good
Thanks Colin, happy gluing.
Hi Charlie great looking retaining wall, fast and effective. I wish I had used Noch walls instead of Bachmann, but that's what modelling is all about learning ideas and skills from others, take care and stay safe..
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Barry. Yes the Noch walls are rather impressive. Regards Charlie
thanks you Charlie for the great videos i am in the US and i am building a layout in HO for the first time but i like watching the train from the uk
Thanks Lisa, I’m so pleased that you find the channel entertaining, regards Charlie
Retaining walls can be funny things, I used to work clearing vegetation from structures, and retaining walls were quite frequent jobs. Things like 'missing' individual bricks that provided drainage for the land behind, old ladders or various brackets in the walls and walls that arent straight but 'topsy-turvy' in nature. To disguise the join, and possibly add interest and variation to the wall, I would recommend using Noch leaves to add Ivy on the wall, in various places along it.
Great video again, Charlie, really enjoyed.
Yes they still need a great deal of work yet Caz, but good tips too.
Thanks for another video Charlie 👍
You’re most welcome Steve.
Another solid video Charlie.I have been thinking about retaining walls for awhile and was concerned about curving them so hint about heat gun was timely.Stay Safe we all get respite from your efforts. Hopefully you are Still up for the jab in April.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it Mark. My first jab is done and the second is due at the end of May and looking forward to it too. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, the retaining wall looks the part quite nicely. An item that I would not have considered but will certainly keep in mind now. When watching you cut the hill side,I thought the workmate was going to fall away each side ( just my wicked side coming out, LOL). Keep well, regards Bobby 'T'.
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Bobby, regards Charlie
Considering most have never attempted such a wiring project ,don’t take it to heart , great videos
You’re dead right Nigel, but it is better (darn it).
At some point I will be looking at retaining walls so maybe the Noch solution might be the answer. Thank you as always for an enjoyable video.
Thanks Simon, I do hope that the video will come in handy. Regards Charlie
Funny you show that you wired over the facia when my concern was that when you have a foldaway , the wire ( I was taught ) should run parallel to terminals then folded back so when you fold up board the wire twists not bends because when you bend wire bach and forth it breaks inside insulation and it takes so time to find because it will be intermittent and can actually cause a fire with enough amperage on it. Any way worrying about this I completely missed the routing of the wire. " and mistakes were made by all". HA!HA!
Nice job on all of it Charlie very nice indeed.
I sent this video to a friend because of the special" points" everyone was talking about. He has to install them on his Railroad because he is modeling the C&O RR and they had a set of these on the area he is modeling.
Thanks again.
An interesting read Bob, thanks. Regards Charlie
Your "rewiring" made a wold of difference. A lot of work though. Well done! By showing "mistakes" it gives some of us the courage to plod ahead. If we make a mistake, it can be repaired, just as Charlie did. Thank you for your honesty.
Thanks David I’m so pleased that you found it interesting mate. Regards Charlie
It has been said that the difference between an amateur and a professional is that the professionl knows how to hide his mistakes.
Cracking video as always!
Thanks Josh, regards Charlie
Brilliant, than you very much for this :-)
You’re most welcome mate, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie just re watched your video about noch retaining walls after watching the first time I purchased item item 58064 for Beighton Parkway Sheffield and they are really good product to add to your layout to give it a bit of height and structure rather than just being flat thanks again for showing these great 👍🏻 products to enhance the look of our model railways
Best wishes
Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffield
You’re most welcome Kevin, I’m just working on a couple more.
Cracking video as always.
I'm slightly daunted by the thought of doing the scenery as people seem to make it look so easy!
But Christopher, most of the materials are very cheap so if you screw up, it’s no real loss.
Chris, get a piece of scrap plywood and experiment with scenery techniques. I have seen modelers divide a board up in small sections using a marker to apply different techniques while making notes to remind themselves of what each section involved. Then choose the best one for you. Some of those users make CZcams videos of their experiments.
I'm in a similar position myself Christopher as I've just got back into the hobby.
As dkausin98 has suggested I'll experiment on a bit of scrap material first to try different effects. Then my plan is to tackle one section at a time, which makes it less daunting. I'll start with the most basic ones to practise and get my hand in and then tackle the next section and so on working my way around the layout.
As an example I intend to do the open sections of hills/fields first and main station/town last as that will be the most varied and fiddly. I'm also intending to have a small branch line station which will be practice for the larger one.
I find in life that first attempts are rarely brilliant, but you improve with pratise and learning from your mistakes. I suspect that once I'm done, I'll look at my early sections and may well decide to redo them.
Another excellent, informative video.
By the way, I make my rock carvings out of normal finishing plaster mixing in PVA glue, seems to work fine.
If it works for you Les, then that’s all that matters mate.
hi charlie. this is a handy way of doing things. cheers tom
Thanks Tom, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie enjoyed that one. Hot Glue Gun! I had an altercation with one at work, it instantly blistered my fingers. Take care especially with young modellers.
I couldn’t agree more Colin, hot glue guns take no prisoners!
Never used one myself, but wouldn't gloves be a good idea? You might still get enough heat going through to hurt but at least you wouldn't have burning glue stuck to your skin and you can quickly remove gloves.
I knew you were going to have a facia board. As my dad used to say to me, "mouth shut, eyes open". 👍video as usual.
Dead right, two listening devices and one speaking.
lovely work charlie
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it Transport Gamer. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
Charlie, its getting to be a mini empire there. Cheers 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇨🇦
I’m so pleased you enjoy following the build of my empire mate, regards Charlie
Nicely done there Charlie those Noch retaining walls do look like a good investment.- Nicholas.
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Nicholas, regards Charlie
Loving your work sir. Always humble in accepting the weight of public opinion :)
That retaining wall looks brilliant going to be fantastic. Perhaps a small brick pier at the end would finish it off.

Thanks Craig am so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie. Before I get to the advanced super bus wiring technology, let me restart first with my Atlas setups, that system is 1 step below than what I'm seeing on many modern videos. Don't worry I had trouble with that wiring as well without soldering. 😄 As for this project that wall from NOCH looked like it was always there. The cutting was precise. I'm in a process of getting the brightest red Brick walls for a custom rebuild kit maybe from NOCH. JTT somehow is unavailable right in the middle of this 28 year old project! Yes it is hard to believe that. 😱 When you said that glue gun is hot you're not kidding I work with these & can agree. My tip press the wall by hand as you did but another is a small paint roller as it sticks, it works and it's beautiful. Fine works & show and I'm going to resume this decades own project myself. I thank you arts & crafts that Chadwick Model Railroad presents. 🤗
What a heartwarming comment Harold, regards Charlie
As useful as always. I guess your motto is "waste not want not" with regard to scenery. Great use of redundant stuff and the retaining wall really sets it off. Looking forward to the branch station module!!
I’m afraid the branchline station model will be a while yet Kevin. I have to prove the Helix both up and down first, regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway I'll look forward to that as well. Be interested to see it operate in anger. It's been a fascinating journey watching the extension progress. Always enjoyable and have learnt a lot from the videos.
