Hi Charlie.
Other than it being a viaduct over a gorge with a stream/river at the bottom... you appear not to have a specific design in mind, and seem to be making it up as you go along.
In my experience, this isn't a very good thing because I've seen lots of modellers not happy with what they made and found themselves changing their minds later on, and ripping it all up to revision it.
The small bridge is an example.
Is it going to be a track to a farm, or just something for the cattle to cross for milking time, etc?
If I may suggest that since you're halfway through, you have the opportunity to grab a pencil and paper, and draw it all, so you know 'exactly' what you're going to build, and then you make like what you drew out.
It's a bit of a cliche, but I thing the best was to illutrate this mindset, is to share a video that explains it.
czcams.com/video/jBhKKI3h52Y/video.html
Regarding the bridge, I'm not sure that it looks quite right next to the viaduct.
The viaduct is stone, but the bridge is brick.
You would expect the bridge to have built first, then the viaduct later when the railway came along a century or more later.
As such, I think the bridge would have been a stone bridge which would have come from the same type of stone that the viaduct came from.
I hope you'll see this as constructive criticism from another modeller with a lot of modelling experience.
Laura
Rest assured Laura I do have an overall plan. However, minor changes always evolve as major landforms take shape.
I always admit my mistakes deliberately to encourage less experienced modellers to try out new techniques.
Fundamentally it’s just a hobby and we do what we enjoy whilst trying to inspire others.
I can see what you are saying but you are taking it far to seriously! I do the same as Charlie, i do have a basic idea and plan,and it does usually change as i go along:)
Michael, my thoughts entirely.
Everything that’s wrong currently with model railway right there in one paragraph! For god sake have some bloody fun!
@@ChadwickModelRailway The world we live in was made up as it goes along.
Hi Charlie, another enjoyable and educational video. Thanks!! - Dean from Minnesota USA
Thanks Dean, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Another great video Charlie. I like the way you've added the realism to the rock faces. Always enjoy watching your progress and this is what makes our hobby great. Looking forward to your next update.
Thanks Paul, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Hi Charlie
Joesph here in Adelaide, South Australia.
Thanks for your videos.They are very practicable and informative on this whole subject.I am just starting out in model railway as a hobby and planning to build an Era 3 steam locomotive layout. A daunting prospect but videos like yours help to understand all the attention to detail.
Once again thanks for taking the time and effort in putting these videos on line for us who are just starting out.
Thanks Jack, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the channel. Good luck with your project, regards Charlie
I agree with you, Charlie. The trains being lower over the viaduct looks far less precarious, and the visual break of hiding part of the train from view helps to blend the railway into the scene.
Thanks RM, I’m glad that you agree.
Superb craftmanship Charlie. Love your channel.
Thanks Gary
I find your videos a great inspirationi and very informative. The viaducts ones were a great help when I was stuck on what to do on part of my n gauge layout.
That’s great news Chris.
Good to see you back modelling Charlie, we can see you enjoying the challenge!
Thanks Paul, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Regarding the bridge, I might go for a wooden structure in contrasting with the viaduct.
Comeing along nicely....superb build......
Thanks Hovermotion, you’re too kind.
Fascinating and creative.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Karts.
Charlie - that is absolutely fantastic (no exaggeration). It all looks so realistic and you make it all look so easy. Well done, I wish I had your patience, know how, and steady hand.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
"And does it fit? Well, of course it doesn't!" rofl.
Its coming along nicely. I'd go with the stone bridge, heavily weathered and mossy, of course. And an old Fordson tractor chuffing across it. :)
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Yup, a bit of weathering to bring out the stone work and some moss colouration around the moist areas (on viaduct too?).
Really looking just right to transition between the two layout areas.
Good points Chris.
hey charlie, excellent piece of work, but the does it fit, was so funny lol thanks for sharing Al.😃😃😃👍👍
Beautiful project, the viaduct and surrounding area is amazing......
Thanks Richard
The gorge already looks good Charlie the farm track bridge is a great idea and once weathered with the rest of the scene complete will create a lovely view in nice setting I would keep the farm bridge.
Thanks Andrew, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Hi Charlie. Can't remember how I found your channel a few months ago but I rejoice each time I watch your videos Thanks for sharing your ideas. And these rocks are so realistic! This is encouraging and inspiring for a lot of people I guess. Pascal (Bergerac, France)
Thanks Pascal, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
I like the variation this videos gives by giving a region update and showing us how you did it. Keep up the good work
Thanks Vincent
What a brilliant way to paint, never thought about dripping the paint, it just flows into all the crevices.
The dark final wash was the masterpiece. 👍
Thanks, you’re too kind.
Great video Charlie as always.
Thanks Jack
That is a damn fine job that your doing Charlie, keep up the good work and remember to have fun with it, because if it's not fun it isn't worth doing
Too true Jason.
Thanks very much.
Thank you Mick, I do hope that you enjoyed it.
Excellent video Charlie. It’s those like touches you add, like the viaduct down pipes that bring your layout to life and add a certain uniqueness.
Thanks Jeff, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Coming along nicely Charlie...................John.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it John.
Yep, you made a bit of a hash with the farm track - your mistakes are our gains though... as I said last time, that is the great thing about your videos; they're not there to be criticised, they allow us ALL to learn. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Timothy, it’s great to have your support.
Bet the wife won't be happy when she see's what you've been doing with her kitchen knife :)
Another great video, thanks Charlie - keep up the great work.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Paul.
Fantastic Charlie, it’s looking great so far. The little stone bridge is a nice little kit. Cheers, Dan
Thanks Dan
Looking great Charlie. I like the bridge.It goes with the viaduct.
Thanks Ron
I like the little road bridge just the way it is!
Thanks Larry
Hi Charlie, superb bit of modelling, The smaller bridge in front of the viaduct look excellent. It will great to see it when it is fully completed. The painting of your rocks looks life like and interesting how you done it, allowing the paint to run anywhere. Huge 👍Thumbs Up👍
Thanks Jamie, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Very nice work you do.
Thanks Colin and hopefully you’ve subscribed too.
After the minor hiccup with the back scene a few episodes ago, this is turning into something anyone would be proud of. I love the way you explain were you go wrong and explain how to do it for us idiots. I would have done the same as you and not mixed the grey with the filling Hey Ho. Brilliant once more sir. Frank
Thanks Frank, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
The farm bridge is excellent I'd keep it. It is similar to one about 500 yards from my house when it goes over a railway cutting. The viaduct does seem way smaller than when your working on its own but no way does it seem out of place, your coming along well with it all.
Thanks Alex, you’re opinion is appreciated.
It’s looking very good . Cheers Charlie
Thanks Jim.
Hi Charlie. I really enjoy your channel. I discovered it some time ago, and have watched every episode to the point that I’ve now caught up and wait with bated breath to see how you are progressing. I’m not a railway modeller myself - just someone who browses model shops and exhibitions whenever I come across them - but I am in awe of those, like yourself, who can create these marvellous layouts. Keep it up - I’m hooked ! 👍🏻
Thanks Rob, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
I like the small bridge just as you have it in this video. It fills a bit of a visual void to the front of this section without taking attention away from the nice detail of the viaduct in the background.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
ANOTHER GREAT GREAT VIDEO CHARLIE .THE DOWN PIPES ARE A NICE TOUCH
Thanks Dave, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Good work Charlie. I too like the farm track bridge, a nice design to add character and interest without standing out too much, I'd keep it.
Thanks Mark
Coming along very nicely Charlie. The painting and dry brushing on the rocks looks particularly good and really enhances the whole scene. Nice edit too, decent shots, good lighting, music of an appropriate volume and good use of voice over where it's needed. Look forward to the next one, cheers.
Thanks Richard, much appreciated.
Hello Charlie, I have only been watching your videos for about a month and find them to be most helpful. I am about to start my own layout and need all the help I can get. Watching these landscape videos is great. I just hope I can do it as well as you do. I am only in the planning stages of my layout as I only retired 2 years ago. Keep the videos coming Charlie as I am looking forward to the next one. Thank you, Tom.
I’m so pleased that you enjoy the videos Tom. Good luck with your layout
What a really good Video, the Stonework/Rock work looks particularly good. Where the Road and River disappear under the Viaduct you could carefully use some Mirrors. I have seen them skilfully used on some North American Layouts, Falls River Division I think it was called. Looking forward to the River Scene.
Thanks for the tip Peter and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Hi Charlie, loved the downpipes, I am going to copy that idea (compliment). To the left of the stone bridge, try a drystone wall, (see my video 29). To the right try a Devon bank. They built up using an 'A' frame gig to keep the shape as the construction was rubble core and soil and could be anything from 4 to 8 feet tall and 5 ft wide at the base. Nature took this form over to form the lane hedges we see today. I just hope I have my facts correct as I don't want to upset any of the brilliant rural craft experts.
Barry.Devon
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Brian and I will certainly check out your tips.
Looking good
Thanks Kyle
fantastic
Thanks Stephen.
As Usual a great informative and entertaining video.
Thanks Bob, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
hi charlie good tip with colouring the filler ,i do the same with pva put some green and brown paint in it, give it a very slight mix when doing static grass
cheers tony
Thanks Tony, share the tips.
Afternoon Charlie from a ferry in the Irish Sea as I return home from working away all week 😄 Great seeing you working on the Mckinley layout I really loved as your a fantastic all round model railway enthusiasts 😄 Loved this video as it really shows what fantastic effects can be done with some great imagination......😀 Well dine Charlie for another great update on Chadwick. Cheers Stevie 😎
Thanks Stevie, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
TheDaf95xf I can’t even get a signal from the outskirts of my town let alone the Irish Sea. Lol
@@DeanPark Like it Dave!.😁
Lovely work Charlie. OMG the shot with the IC 125 on the viaduct. What an iconic train and brings back lots of memories. My second favourite livery on the HST after the GNER colors.
Thanks RW, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Hello from France wonderful video thank you for posting !
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Excellent rock faces Charlie....very impressive. I am as others have mentioned not sure about the small bridge. I have to admit I think it would be better a a stone bridge. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob, it clearly needs some work
I'm looking forward to seeing that next progress video for the Landscape. 👍👍👍
I’m filming it now NH
Excellent work Charlie!
I like your current farmers track bridge! Far less distracting than the Peco girder sides. It blends nicely with the scenery and doesn’t draw the eye too much from the viaduct.
I’m
I think you’re right about the travel height over the viaduct as well. You can’t really go any higher than where the HST power unit was. Looks great with just the underlay.
Your rock painting is incredible! Congratulations! I’m very impressed. It looks so real! I think the dark wash really draws out the contours and gives a real, 3D, rock-like effect. If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought you’d been nicking bits out of the garden.
The viaduct downpipes are a lovely touch as well.
Thanks L, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great vid Charlie can't wait to see the next part, all the best
Thanks Robert
Hello Charlie, glad to see you have your mojo back. A super modelling video. The road bridge is, as you say, only primed. I think when painted and weathered similar to the viaduct it should look good.
Thanks Ian, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Nice work Charlie! Building a scene up such as that becomes a definite focal point...it's not always about having every square inch covered with track! For what it's worth, keep the stone road bridge. It looks the part and I'm sure your weathering will blend it in perfectly! Cheers mate, Richard.
Thanks Richard, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Anything to do with scenery development is something I love seeing happen so I pressed this pretty quick. The bridge looks to be a nice kit and it fits very well into the scenery. The down pipes are a nice finishing touch like you said to hide the joins. It’s coming together very nice Charlie. All the best, Clint at Leila Central
Thanks Clint, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Hi Charlie...……. At the moment the little farm bridge looks out of place, its a little over powering when next to your viaduct, but when you have put your hillside scenery in trees, bushes etc etc I think it will fit in lovely...…………. Love watching your videos, its coming on great
Thanks Darren, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Charlie,. The viaduct portion is comming along splendely. I do like the extra detail of the drain pipes.
As for the farm bridge. 2 suggestions.
Leave the current bridge but paint and highlight the same color as the rock. Then the two areas will blend quite nicely.
Also you could use an old retired flat wagon. With a small bit of weathering and distressing. Of course remove the wheelsets.
I built a show layout years ago I went to great lengths to highly detail the layout and I ran out of time. When I delivered the layout and set it up I had forgotten a small road bridge . I grabbed a 40 ft flat wagon removed the bogies. Gav a bit of distressing. Placed a flatbed Lorrie pulling a tractor on one side and a few figure people walking on the other side.
The show lasted 1 day. I received more comments about the little bridge than any of the other finely detail.
Sometimes it's just the simplest things that you add that blend and bring the biggest impact to an overall scene.
Now does your wife know you've gone and nicked her clooth pins? Lol lol !!
Take care Charlie
Wow, what a great comment James. I will certainly look into farm vehicle options.
Great Job sir
Thanks Nilesh
Been looling forward to this Charlie. Thank you.
Thanks Tony
Very nicely done, Charlie! The rocks look great! I think that stone farm bridge looks just right!
Thanks Flyboy, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great job ! Looks good ! thanks for sharing the vid.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great vid. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Charlie.
Thanks mate.
Charlie all coming along nicely viaduct is looking amazing can’t wait to see trains running across it. If I could just make an observation I found the background music accompanying the video rather over powering.
A fair point Colin, I’ll search for something more suitable,
Sorry Charlie forgot to Like, Sorted 👍
Top marks. That was one excels video.
On the small bridge: given the surface pattern and to contrast with the gray viaduct is paint it red/brown brick to improve the visuals.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Regarding the bridge, I might go for a wooden structure in contrasting with the viaduct.
You might consider putting a waterfall coming out of the wall, maybe a bit off center, that would run down the rear hillside behind the main bridge and feed your river through to the front. You could put someone fishing off the smaller forward bridge.
Thanks for the tips, the more the merrier.
Brilliant video again Charlie.
Thanks James
Another informative how to video. Love it. Your construction information is great!
Thanks Chaz, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
love your videos. Always looking forward to the next one, keep it up 👍👍
Thanks Lee, you’re too kind
Another great video, Charlie! Thank you!
Thanks Craig
Fantastic paint work Charlie. Very artistic and lifelike. As for your farm bridge, I still favor an old track bed and rusty steel bridge. I've seen the real thing and it stirs the imagination. Well, you did ask...lol
Thanks Martyn, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. I prefer a wooden bridge.
Great video
Thanks mate
Gobsmacking brilliant work. You are correct, the viaduct did "shrink" a bit with all that was added and then put in place for the test fit. Before you painted some of the rock face, I thought the stone bridge looked amazing, as the arch to the stone bridge worked so well with arches in the viaduct. With so much gray, it does get lost, but style-wise I do like it. Maybe scenery will allow it to pop back out. My other thought, but you would have to decide on "historical" or "geological" accuracy, is to make it a wood bridge (maintaining the archwork or else wooden crossbeam support system often seen). Otherwise, painting the stone a different, lighter color- a lighter gray or even lighter brown) would really make it pop in the foreground. I know I have seen plenty of brownstone arched bridges in rural UK in CZcams videos.
Thanks Anthony, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. You’re right a wooden bridge is the answer.
Super video Charlie, got me all fired up to get stuck into my layout again.
Cheers Paul
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Paul
Great video and the scenery is coming along nicely, looking forward to the next one !
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Some good progress!

What a fantastic video Charlie, loved every minute of it. Not only a fantastic railway modeler but the production value was as good as anything we'd see on telly. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks VPAS, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
Good video useful info.
Thanks Adam.
Coming along beautifully Charlie.
Cheers mate.
Thanks Greg
As always Charlie, informative and enjoyable
Thanks David, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Another great and informative video. It's great watching your layout develope.
Thanks mate.
A great job Charlie, a very interesting and enjoyable video, that music chilled me right out :)
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Michael.
Nice progress. Cheers!
Thanks mate
Charlie, I think that the laser cut wooden bridge fits in very nicely with the viaduct. It is a lot better than what was there. At the end of the day, it is what you like that counts. Leave it there for now and see what it looks like when you have done some more scenery around it. Keep up the good work. Martin (Thailand)
Thanks Martin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great bit of work there Charlie, you have a eye for landscape detail. Looking so good. I would keep the small bridge, gives the scene depth.
Thanks John.
Coming along nicely, Charlie... Several good ideas there that I'm going to nick! Thank you for sharing.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Really nice work Charlie. Your videos are really informative, well put together and really do a great job of capturing that wonderful enthusiasm which binds us from our myriad walks of life. Im a long haul pilot by trade for a flag carrier and you could have knocked me over with a feather when I discovered our head of flight ops is a keen model railway enthusiast. Lots of different walks of life linked by a wonderful hobby! My thanks to you for sharing your knowledge and point of view. Incidentally theres a guy called Luke Towan on here that has a great series of scenery guides- well worth a peek.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Dominic.
Luke is a god!
Great video Charlie
Thanks mate.
Very enjoyable video, with some useful tips.
Thanks Peter, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video.
looks good and comeing on well
Thanks Alan
Very intresting charlie. Really like the way the rocks are weathered.
Top job keep going🙂🙂
Thanks Paul
Awesome video I found it very interesting and informative. It is looking good and look forward to the next video 👍👍👍
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
The rocks look great Charlie. Coming along nicely now. Always good to take tips from Luke Towan. The guy is a superb diorama modeller!.
Luke’s a god.
Very impressive and has given me some thoughts for future works.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Alec
I like the color of the rocks they look really good an nice setup. thank you for sharing
Thanks Dwight, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
