Thank you, Charlie - my vote in the awards for Chadwick has been submitted. What I have to say is that I always look forward to your videos, not just to get inspiration on how to do things - but seeing what you have done and your achievements inspire me to get off my backside and try to make progress on my home layout. I like your approach of setting hard deadlines, what you will achieve over the next three months. That's a key to making actual progress. Thanks, and all the best for the coming months.

Charlie, your channel is head and shoulders above any of your competitors. Your obvious technical skill presented with your genuine self-deprecating good humour and your willingness to describe your disasters as well as your triumphs, make your videos compelling and uplifting in equal measure. You are a light in a gloomy world and I'm indebted to you. I have voted for you; if there is any justice you will win, and by a very large margin. Good luck and very best wishes, Alastair

I was lucky enough to bump into Charlie at East Somerset Models on Saturday, In fact I didn’t even know the shop existed until I watched Charlie’s video about signal boxes. I’m now a regular visitor. What a nice guy Charlie is.. he was just leaving and I was trying to distract my wife from seeing what I was spending. I would have liked more time with him as I’m just starting in the hobby, but thanked him for the CZcams videos , and has got my vote.

Nice update Charlie, yr layout has moved on so much, havent been able to touch mine in 2 years due to hvg been in hospital. Those Dapol canopies are lovely, I picked up several of the Airfix originals several years ago at fairs when things were cheap as chips. Painted them up in Midland Region colours and they look lovely on my faux Burton On Trent station area recreated back in the steam era when we used to visit as children and the beautiful station was still in situ. Cheers

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Paul, I never new that they were originally from Airfix. Regards Charlie

Hi Charlie, good luck success breeds success I guess 😊 layout is looking splendid, I think I prefer the disc shunt signals myself, now imagine having a stacked multi route set and having them all working. Cheers Mike

Happy Birthday, Charlie. You're channel has my vote. Finally, I have a double oval track (with two antique double-slips,) down on a 54" X 54" kitchen table, run DC and DCC (via alligator clips) and run my locomotives and a few cars... Again, Finally. My expenditures have almost exceeded my income (but, it's a habit [from some 'hang-ups], and passion) with the (finally) arrival of two Rapido Demonstrator locomotives (sound/dcc)... my sanity remains intact on a partial basis. My 55th birthday in October, a few infamous anniversaries passed, and a few dreams to achieve also in the works. On a personal note (an ironic statement on social media), I want to thank you for you. At your age, I have my hopes intact. Being alone is hard on my soul... but the model trains keep me going (and are an investment) ...patience comes and goes, but time seems to keep passing by. You are an inspiration to me with your model trains and sense of humour (or, perhaps that's patience again?). Right now, I can only "click" for supporting you and your endeavours. Please keep up the good work. Good show, Charlie! ...and regards to the missus. John British Columbia, CA (and hopes for a move back to Bellingham, WA.)

[@magnetsplace]

Youhave my vote Sir. Most enjoyable channel thank you.
As you were mentioning removable sections of the layout, could you please do a short video showing how you decide where the track breaks are to be located, how you separate the track(s) before removing a board and the process of realigning the boards securely in the exact position required for the track to be lined up precisely, and finally how to remake the track joins between boards. This has always been something I have wondered about when watching you build your layout but feel it is an important detail I must have missed. I think it would make for an interesting topic to cover. All the best and good luck in the vote.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Yes I will try to explain in the future video. However, I simply bolt the sections together and then bridge the joins with short tracks. This makes it easy should I need to separate the boards in the future. Regards Charlie

Great video as always Charlie. You got the headhunt signal at Swanage wrong though. The yellow bar being horizontal means that access to the headhunt is permitted, the bar being moved the 45 degrees allows access to the platform road after the crossover points have been changed.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Sorry Chris, yes I cocked that one up. Regards, Charlie

[@johnalexander995]

@@ChadwickModelRailway Easy mistake! A yellow shunt signal gives permission for the driver to go past it horizontal provided the points are set to designated places (e.g. your headhsunt). If the points are set to the running line then horizontal means stop. There are not too many left but there were a few which were converted to position light and the pivot light was yellow with a white on and off light.
Today there are locations where we include "opposing locking omitted" allowing two shunt signals either sides of a set of points to be showing proceed at the same time so that trains can go back and forward without any action from the signaller.
As always, a great video
