Hi Charlie, a very timely video as my N gauge version arrived last week for the new layout. I find your videos both informative and very well put over. At present I'm track laying and soldering using your recommended methods and things are going much better on this layout than my last one, I always look forward to Friday's for further inspiration, many thanks and keep up the good work.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile. Regards Charlie
This video came up as a suggestion. Top class as usual. It's given me some ideas for Trefil / Tafarnaubach viaduct in Cymoedd Merthyr.
Thanks Timothy, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards, Charlie.
Yes, that IS an impressive viaduct. Well done.
Thanks buddy I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Thanks for remembering the men and women who gave their lives for us Charlie! You’re a good man mate!
All the best. John. ps The viaduct video was good to.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
Great video, oh how we had so much fun installing those red brick sections!! FIDDLY! Thanks for the tips and howto's on the channel, I've just started my loft railway. I wanted a viaduct as a feature and this helped a lot.
I’m so pleased that you found the video useful Simon. Regards Charlie
Well done Charlie, patience and perseverance have served you well in constructing this viaduct. Will look forward to your further progress on this project....Congrats Cheers Greg
Hi Greg, as usual, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
What a nice Video about such a relaxing enjoyable part of the Hobby. Thank you. Strangely, up to this Year I used to collect for the Poppy Appeal in my Area, living in North Devon I went to all the outlying Farmsteads and Houses.
Hi Peter, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I find that Poppy collectors are becoming a rare breed. Good luck with your layout. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, I watched this when you published it a year ago, doesn't time fly!!! Well a year on and I am building one and came back to refresh on your video on the build and painting and weathering. Thank you as not only did it inspire me to get the kit and build one for my layout, but as always your video's are so clear, helpful and enjoyable. Just wanted to say thank you and also can't believe that you have done over 50 since this one and soon will be your 100th. I am really looking forward to seeing it, and as a suggestion, a montage of some of your most amusing clips would be great to see included somewhere in it.
I find that these are enjoyable as we all do these type of things and they make us all realize that what you do, we can give a go as well.
Thanks Charlie, stay safe and keep them coming :)
Best regards,
Rob aka Carlettbrook
What a heartwarming comment Rob and I’m so pleased that you found the channel useful.
@@ChadwickModelRailway I'm going to embark on back scenes after this............ wish me luck lol
Great information on viaduct build, really well presented and edited; a helpful boost up the learning curve for the novice modeller.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Robert.
Hi Charlie great video! My Dad was just saying ..."what i would have done is leave the cap stones till the end"...so he was very happy when you eventually did!
As they say Lee, clever minds think alike, hopefully! Regards Charlie
Good job with the viaduct and for organising the poppies
Thanks Noob.
Phew! You did it. For the first half of the video I wasn't sure you would. I think I would use a much bigger brush for the glue. Excellent viaduct kit, I'm very much looking forward to the weathering video and of course seeing it installed on the layout. Regards, David.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it David. Fingers crossed for the weathering.
Very therapeutic Charlie, thank you so much. Given me a bit to think about, I am planning on having a curved viaduct on my layout, but the maths of it at the moment is leaving me with a headache! Ah well, lots more to be getting on with before that stage, and I may well just end up with a straight one using these kits just to save myself the money on ibroprofen!
Thank you again,
Dom
Hi Dom, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I too had considered a curved viaduct but I thought that it would have had to have been made from card. Good luck with your layout, regards Charlie
Well Done Charlie great job on those arches ,look forward to seeing them finished and on your layout, interesting what you will put at foot of arches, for now take care and thanks for being one of many poppy distributors ,we must never forget .
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and let’s wear our poppies with pride.
yup always wear with pride being ex Army myself and my 2nd oldest now a sgt ,im so proud of all our past and present serving personnel ,
A great video and very interesting, I don't actually have a model railway. But between this channel and another model railway channel I might be tempted back, after having one as a kid. I would have been tempted to deviate from the instructions on building the archways and try another way. I would have made one side of the arch with the road/rail surface then attach the brick arch liner to it, then once glue is set I would then stick the other arch side to it. Or even just stick the brick liner to one side, then add the other side and when set put the road/rail surface piece on. Might be easier than trying to feed through after building the arch. Before someone says it I know it's an old video, but just what I was thinking while watching it. Scratch build model R/c boats is more my thing so used to not having instructions to follow, and having to find my own solutions to these sorts of things.
I’m so pleased you found the video interesting. I like to assemble in accordance with the instructions, just to prove how difficult it can be!
We need you back in the hobby, now go and buy yourself some stuff and get started. Regards Charlie
Fantastic start on what will be a nice scene on the layout..
Thanks Jim
Good video. I admire your patience and the detailed lengths you go to.
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Wonderful job! An inspiration structure to include of almost any layout, we all can't wait for the end result.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Always a great pleasure watching your videos Charlie.Although I myself am not building a viaduct per se ,still very enjoyable to watch your builds ,and always a few tidbits that will be helpful for other builds.Thankyou for taking the time to make these fine videos ,I love `em !
Lest we Forget !
Hi Paul, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout.
Very interesting . I built one of these viaducts last year .Found the brick insert frustrating and difficult to apply .Ended up breaking three and using card overlayed with brick paper .Always enjoy these videos .Great respect for the poppy appeal .
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed David. You must have cringed when I started on the brick inserts. A bit of a challenge say the least!
That looks like a versatile kit and you showed the build in an easy to follow way. I may make a road bridge from one of these kits.
I’m so pleased that you found it useful.
Very cool thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing it weathered and installed on your layout
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Chris.
Great video Charlie. Really enjoyed watching it. Tip.... If you place the liquid solvent weld bottle inside an old coffee mug you'll run far less chance of accidentally knocking it over!
Hi Brian, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip.
Another good one. Easy style and good explanations.
Thanks Alan.
Hi Charlie, I always enjoy your CZcams videos. I always look forward to your next videos, there have been clips that has help me out. Many thanks Brian
Hi Brian, I’m so pleased that you have found them useful.
Charlie, you make it look easy! I might have given the brick-work a wash of thinned light gray acrylic for the mortar lines before installation, though. Once the acrylic dries water won't affect it. Looking forward to seeing this in place on your layout!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I’m probably going to repaint the brickwork once I’ve painted a base colour on the whole structure.
Great video. Just a note, if you want to bend plastic or resin, just heat it up in boiling water for about 5 minutes. It will then become extremely pliable and you can bend to shape with a jig or something similar to the desired shape and it will cool down and stay that way.
Great tip Falcor, many thanks.
Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie A very nice kit that, also quite easy to construct many thanks for doing the video. Dave
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Dave.
Nice one Charlie. Looking forward to seeing this one progress in the next few weeks.
Thanks Tase, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Another great tutorial Charlie 😊 Really looking forward to this viaduct project progress. Oh by the way after your second soldering iron and tin lead solder I’ve purchased both lol 😆 One day I’ll start my layout after watching you build yours. At the moment time is at a premium as I work away as I’ve said before. Just done 13 day’s away 😩 Thanks for putting the time in doing your model railway videos it does really keep me interested 😄 Thanks Stevie.
Thanks Stevie, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout.
The red linings looked a bit of a pain but I had a slight chuckle when you forgot to remove the top off the glue, as it's something I do all the time and its when you need the third hand. Another great video Charlie, looking forward to the painting, weathering etc. Frank
Hi Frank, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and yes, glue bottle tops are a real challenge!
Hi Charlie, nice how to video on building the viaduct your video's are always very informative it's amazing how handy elastic band are. You have a lot of Poppy's there I bought mine this week. Regards George...
Hi George, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
That's a lot of poppies! I hope they all get sold :) You did a great job of building that kit - i remember when they were released, I got the N gauge bridge (same top part but without the supports) some years ago - it's probably hidden away somewhere in my stash at the moment, all my layouts were dismantled and stored following house moves :(
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Good luck with rebuilding your layout in time.
Thanks for sharing, always nice to see your great work. -Jack
Thanks Jack and good luck with your layout.
Hello.. not sure of your name.. but your videos are the best on you tube..l find every video you make is fantastic.. getting back into ho trains. Did them when i was young..so just wanted to send you a huge THANK YOU for your videos.. cant wait to start building my layout. Hopefully by the end of January... take care . Looking forwards to new videos..thanks again tom
Hi Tom,
I’m so pleased that you enjoy my videos and hopefully you have subscribed. Good luck with your layout.
Regards Charlie
Very nice
Glad that you enjoyed it Thomas.
Looking very impressive already, its going to be very good on layout.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
This will look quite good on the layout Charlie love the video as always, thanks for sharing ;)
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
looking forward to the weathering
Thanks Len.
Great work! I'd have loved to have put a viaduct on my layout but I can't find space for one. I lived under a rail viaduct as a youngster and every time a train went over, it made the needle on my record player jump.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and rekindled such memories.
Fantastic work. Love it. - Drew
Thanks Drew.
😎👍🏼
hi Charlie, great CZcams clip and like always same professional and a joy to watch you.
👍👍
Hi Jamie, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Fair play for being a poppy seller. Not enough people have respect for the poppy. Thumbs up for that 👍
Thanks Harry. Regards Charlie
Great tutorial, informative as always. Thanks ; )
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Dave
Whenever you build any of these kits fella have plenty of elastic bands handy to clamp things together lol
I’m glad that you enjoyed it mate.
Very nice Charlie, when I build my main layout this is something I would like to add, looking forward to your followup video...Simon
Hi Simon, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout.
Another great video Charlie, very impressive Viaduct.........John.
I’m glad that you enjoyed it John. Let’s see what it ends up like!
Just built the N gauge version of this , i ignored the instructions about fitting the red brick after gluing the two halves together . I preformed those by wrapping them round a suitable diameter plastic tube with some thin plastic sheet over the top that the kit came packaged in then held them in place with elastic bands and placed in boiling water for a few minutes then into cold water and hey presto curved brick parts that i glued in place the added the track bed .
Great move Shaun. Regards Charlie
Great Video! Thinking of picking one of these kits up! Also, the Remote for the camera is a great idea!
Regards,
Daniel
Hi Daniel, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout.
Very nice, I wish I'd left room for one myself, maby on the next layout! :D
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Very good Charlie. I have not finished the design of my layout yet. Might incorporate one of these. Hopefully see you on Sunday 25th at the NEC. Cheers. Pete
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Pete. See you at Warley.
Great video, Charlie. And great finished product! I find the EMA stuff excellent and it'll weld most plastics that other solvent weld products don't (incl PLA), but I don't use it for normal builds like this as it is very toxic, as you've said, and a bit overkill IMHO. Tamiya, Deluxe Materials or Revel solve weld works fine and is not quite as hazardous.
I think I’ll switch when I’ve used this one.
Really enjoyed that video that it Will look amazing on your layout
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Looking forward for the next video!
Thanks mate
Very impressive,, good luck with your poppies! linda 🚂🙂👍🏻
Thanks Linda, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
A good way to bend sheet like the red liner is to soak it in boiling or very not water and then wrop it around a suitable cylinr like a a paint can and fasten it with tape ubtil it's cold. I actually use bands cut out of old car inner ubes - free from my local tyrefitter.
What an excellent idea, Terry. Someone mentioned using the oven! Regards, Charlie
Another great video , keep them coming.
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
It may have been more convenient to poor some of the plastic weld into the cap of the bottle so you get a better idea of how much you're getting on the brush, especially if it's one you plan on using again. You could've also used the bottle as a sort of square or block when putting the walls and road together, but I really only say that because I didn't see any clamps or squares used. Thank god the only issue you had when assembling was the discovery of the viaduct out-of-box wasn't actually completely flat.
Yes SP, it was a bit of a challenge.
Very nice kit. I seem to remember that dipping plastic in very hot water, (holding with tweezers), will help to bend it. You could use a sheet of very fine emery paper on a sheet of glass on the edges of the completed sections to smooth out the line. That would also give a rougher surface for the cement to take.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and some great tips too.
Hi Charlie,
Please sing while you’re gluing!
Jim
Jim, you’ve lost me on this one? I want more subscribers not fewer!
If I didn't already have a viaduct, I would try this model. I considered it before I got the one I have. The one I have is from Hornby. Rob
It was a bit of a challenge Rob.
As alway another great video from charlie i will have to get this kitt and some liquid cement like you i used to use the tube polystyrene glue but it looks so much easier and clean to use the liquid no glue oozing out like when you use the tube glue so looking forward to seeing you on the 7th july 2019 only a week to go all the best john from rugby.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video John.
Sadly I’m not attending the Warley Open Day, is that what you’re referring to on the 7th?
Thanks for showing us how this goes together. I'm considering one as a scenic break, forced perspective etc in 7mm (Wills Sheets lend themselves to 7mm). Easier to assemble than a card kit😉😉
Loved the humour about the solvent 😄😄 There are more benign variants or Deluxe, Tamiya et al thin kit glue can be used👍👍
Could you tell me the dimensions of the arches, width and centres would be helpful too please - thanks in advance 👍😊✌️
I’m so pleased you found it interesting. All the dimensions et cetera on the Peco website. Regards Charlie
great vid as usual, keep it up Charlie.
Thanks 56.
Hi Charlie ,just started watching your vids a couple of weeks ago,and iam hooked now,better viewing than corrie mate lol,give some great tutorials and some very handy tips .i will be at warley on Sunday so hope to shake your hand ,in the meantime keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video.
Ps I’ll bring you a new tape measure,best regards john @ Lincoln
Hi John, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the videos. It’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
Hopefully we’ll meet up at Warley.
Regards Charlie
Good on you Charlie
Thanks Colin
It does look a good model, Charlie.
I’m glad that you like it Nigel
Nice video. I did buy a Metcalfe kit & still have to build it.
I’m glad that you enjoyed it David.
If Miss. Michael only knew what she started. She would be very proud.
Sorry Riff, but who’s Miss Michael?
Miss. Moina Michael was the lady that thought of using a red poppy as a remembrance symbol and than a fund raising for veterans. She got the idea from the poem 'In Flanders Fields' by LTC. John McCrae. She taught at the University of George in the US. I should have mention that in my first post. My bad. Learning a lot from your channel. Keep up the good work. Cheers Mate, from across The Pond.
Hi Riff, many thanks for the info which is very much appreciated. I’m so pleased that you enjoy my videos.
Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie,
The viaduct looks great! I really enjoyed the video, hope to say hello at Warley.
Regards, John cave.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it John. I have my Warley list already.
Nice job Charlie! I did one over the summer out of three full packs which has nine arches. I do agree this kit if not assembled carefully can be a real b*tch to build, mine certainly was... I fitted it with brick pilasters made from plasticard (this took ages) above the piers to hide the seams between the individual arches and intend to turn it into a railway/roadway combo. Joachim
I’m Joachim, that’s very interesting. My intention is to run drain pipes down the pillars which will mask the joins.
Brilliant! I want to make a viaduct ever since I went to the one in cadeby (around like 16 minutes away from me)
Try the Peco ones, they’re wonderful.
@@ChadwickModelRailway ok thank you
Interesting An excellent video, Keep up the good work :)
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Like me Charlie 8’by 4’ ply sheet 10mm thick..... .... great vid .... regards Fred
Hi Fred, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout.
Charlie no need to bend the red under sheets.........that's probably why the advice is to leave the arches to dry overnight is given. The arches when dry will readily accept the red under sheets which click / glue into place more easily.
I have to disagree James, the brick sheets were an absolute nightmare.
I just wish that Wills/Peco had produced a rigid insert.
Chadwick Model Railway
OK..........anyway, great job with the white stains under the arches....
Just don't go down the road of replicating graffiti....
Keep up the good work......your stuff is most informative .
Jakes
For all of my glue bottles I make a piece of 2 X 4 wood and drill a hole the size of the bottle. I have had to many bottles of glue fall over and spill. With the cost of the glue now, I feel that I have to have the extra caution with the glue bottle base.
Put, don’t forget David, superglue should be kept in the fridge. Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Always... I put it in the fridge in a jar with a drying agent... I tend to buy the small tubes of the stuff and use it up before it can set up in the tube...
About a year ago, I built a curve viaduct, and in the Faller or Kibri kit I used (think it was Faller) you had to heat up the plastic in the oven to make the brick work under the arches as it wasn't thin and foldable like this kit.
Long story short, what did this fool do? He forgot to set a timer for how long they needed to heat... 😅
I’m sure that it was an easy mistake to make. Regards, Charlie.
Hi Charlie, excellent video. Your not the only one getting measurements wrong. I made a bad one on my layout last Saturday,
did i not call my self all the expletive names under the sun, the air went blue.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and make simple mistakes too. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone.
You want to try directing a live TV studio shoot lol
I very much doubt it Richard! 😀
Chadwick Model Railway I was responding to your comment re 'just like live TV'... I have directed 'as live' TV and I can assure you that it isn't lol. Eagerly awaiting the next video, by the way :)
Hi Charlie great video ive bought a Metcalfe bridge kit snd its now on the layout ive built a box so i can put the sides in i.e hills and a river going in the middle of it be great to see how you make your part of where it will sit ill be doing a update on it soon cheers paul
Yours sounds interesting too. Please post a video as it progresses.
Ill be doing a update next week
hot air gun on medium heat mate, will bend that plastic nicely, i always give the plastics a coat of primer before taking them apart
Great advice as usual mate.
Wouldn't use a hot air gun....a hairdryer or leave the plastic in hot water for a few minutes to make it pliable.
not the hot air gun for stripping paint a hot air solder station set to 130c, you can pick one up for under 30 quid on ebay, a tool no modeller should do without! this is the one i use with a digital thermostat, it has 100s of uses in modelling, from paint drying to liquid solder paste SMT soldering, grab one mate, will be the best purchase you ever made www.ebay.co.uk/itm/858D-220V-SMD-Soldering-Desoldering-Station-Hot-Air-Rework-Gun-Tool-3-Nozzles/301966004104?epid=581359676&hash=item464e938f88:g:a5gAAOSwzZFbbBUV:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true
@@Synthematix Just watch the heat setting. Was drying some circuit board once and being in a hurry had it set too high. Found out that SMT solder paste melts at a lower temp. then 60/40 blew a number of SMT components off the board. Spent 6 hours with a magnifying glass repositioning them and resoldering.
@@Synthematix If you pick up the cheap hot air stations from ebay, make sure to open them up and make sure the earth is done correctly. It's extremely common for there to either be no earth connected inside or the chassis and/or gun not to be connected to earth. They're a great, cheap tool once you've checked that.
imperial has a beauty in its language and maths. Where in the world do you get rods, rules and perches coupled with chains being 22 feet long. Stick with inches Charlie!
Very true Richard but I’ll bet that it made you smile 😊
Poles.
Great video Charlie..... I know it's more than twice the work but could you upgrade to a two-camera set-up, with an overhead view maybe? Cheers Simon
I do have a two camera set-up but I end up with a mono sound issue. I need to carry out more testing.
Hi, Do like watching your videos and tips on doing some tasks.
Hi Michael, I’m so pleased that you enjoy my videos. Regards Charlie
The Red brick arches I have had from this kit are so brittle that they snap when you try this. They need to be soaked in warm water before you do it
They certainly are quite a difficult item to bend, regards Charlie
Someone else has probably said it below, but you could do the same trick with the track beds as you are using for the coping stones. Yes it means cutting one in half but again you are using the mason/bricky's trick of off-setting the joints.
I guess that track bed must be strong enough, but it seems very thin compared with your 12mm base boards elsewhere on the layout? Is there a need to laminate it up a bit?
Spoiler! I see you address this in the next couple of videos. So much for an 'easy' kit!!!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the videos CB hopefully you have subscribed too.
One team used the viaduct on the Great Model Railway Challenge. :-)
I missed that unless it was last Friday as I watch on catch up.
It was the one shown last night. Some great modelling on show this time.
I’ve just watched it. Clearly the viaduct was one of their 6 pre-build items.
Impressive kit Charlie! Too bad that the curved inside is red. Regards Onno.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Onno. I’m undecided whether to paint the red brick blue.
Charlie you should use the wife's rolling pin to bend the soft plastic, leaves it round.
Great tip John!
Excellent video Charlie and I look forward to your follow-up ones as you progress. I had been wondering how best to do my viaduct and so this is very informative as ever. Do Peco/Wills allow for a wider support when you have more arches? I think on the S&C every 5th or 7th support was wider. Looking forward to Warley, but going on Saturday so unfortunately I won't be able to keep and eye out for you to say "hello". Keep up the good work.
Hi David,
Sadly no, Peco’s arches are all identical. Having said that. I do believe that with a little thought, this model can be personalised into something quite special.
Good luck at Warley and leave some bargains for me!
Good video, I will soon embark on something similar, but will cast my own bridge, looking forward too the follow up video's. P.S. What video editing software do you use?
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. I use Premiere Pro to edit but sadly it isn’t cheap!
Use Tamiya glue it’s the best
I’ll try it next Charter.
Thank you for sharing this experience , I learned a few nice tricks . I have been looking for parts to make cantilever supports for my slot car track ( for reference : 2lvl carried acrosse 12' to 16' , a huge double deck bridge like ) ,the style or look I am after is like steel trusses ( Eifel Tower I think is a good example for what I want the structure to look ) [1/24 scale Carrera tracks ] fyi .I could not find with certitude parts with that scale , so I will have to assemble with smaller pieces , trusses ,girders and so on . I can do that and set correct life like proportions .my problem is to find those "H ,L, I ,T ... " plastic look alike parts in a proper size .You know where I can get some of those {Kits of Truss /Girders Etc would work } ? TYVM & Cheers from Montreal Qc
That’s sounds very interesting. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and good luck with your project. Regards Charlie
If you are doing a lot of sprue cutting , a sprue cutter saves a lot of clean up time. Please could you tell me where you run the earth wire from your command station to. thanks for a excellent video David
Hi David, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and I will soon acquire a decent sprue cutter!
The earth (or ground) cable runs to other Digitrax components such as BDL168’s and PR3’s.
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway thanks David
Q - with those weld type liquid glues, do you just have to throw the brush away afterwards or can you clean them?
It just evaporates away. I just rinse with water on completion.
"No worries there then" .... hahahahaha
What could possibly go wrong?
Great. Do they make it in red brick? Very helpful for when I build mine.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Steve but no they don’t make it in brick.
123 Blocks are good for squaring up the plastic components. Rolling up the bricks isn't a good idea as it looks like it put kinks in the sheet.
You’re right but it’s a real challenge that thankfully came good in the end.
yes it did. Check out the 123 blocks and magnets they help out a lot.
Charlie, how on earth did you get the brick arch lining to bend like that in your hands, I tried ever so gently to bend one a little and it just shattered, yours seem so flexible.
More luck than judgement Tommo.
Hot water might help.
This more than one way to skin a cat, Brian. Regards, Charlie.
