    Another really enjoyable Video, liked the Expletive, I thought 'Ah he's Human after all!' I'm 72, and seem to be using that Word a lot these Days, just getting over the worst Cold I've ever had, Bristol 0 Gauge Exhibition this Weekend, one of the best Shows, still hope to go.

      Peter, The Bristol 0 gauge Exhibition is alway's a great way to start the New Year. I have'nt attended one now for at least 30 years. Your mention of it brings back fond memories from long ago, thank you. Cheers, Chris Perry.

    Hi Charlie, re: paint mixers. I made my own mixer which is extremely effective and uses a my power jigsaw to vibrate the paint pots. I took an old blunjigsaw blade and heated it red hot and let it cool to soften it. I then drilled a couple of 3mm holes and attached a small woodworking clamp with epoxy resin and nuts and bolts. The clamp was one of those that you squeeze the handle to tighten and hold a button so you can release it. The offending paint pot can then be clamped, lid to bottom not side to side of course and the jigsaw powered for a few seconds and hey presto, it's like a miracle perfectly mixed paint..
    I saw the idea on a CZcams video by a plastic kit modeller and modified his idea to use the clamp. I've done lots of paints from Humbrol to Vallejo to Games Workshop and Revell with no accident yet, fingers crossed. The best bit is that the pots are vibrated while closed and no paint is lost unlike paddle or screw types where you are working on open paint with the obvious option of spillage and waste.

    Thanks for some great tips and valuable information. I've just watched Videos 46, 47, 53 and 64 as I am about to build a Pico viaduct. I have the three arch kit plus two extra arch kits. The black wash after the initial painting looks really good. Once gain thanks.

    Hi Charlie . A very constructive project with this viaduct stone 🌉 bridge. I would have been a bit upset when that piece of the structure suddenly you didn't & your viewer didn't see that one coming Beep.. Sounds like Peanuts & CHARLIE BROWN 🤣🤣🤣. Your video colleague Fred E. Model railroader did a video a few months earlier on a layout he's building. A layout at his vacation home in another state. He calls himself Fast Freddie as he was speeding up construction (Time laps photography ) I will nickname you High Speed Charlie your outside yard with the carpentry board for the layout as well . I was laughing with this thinking of FRED E. MODEL RR. A nice project as i was impressed with these outdoor scenery that inspired your project. A bit of humor on The CHADWICK RAILWAY, but serious building & craftsmanship in the layout. Always my pleasure to view your work. Thanks Charlie.

    Excellent. Reminds me of the viaduct in Knaresborough. Picking out some bricks really made it pop visually. As for the humpiness, I think I would have mutter "words of power" and then proceeded to raise the track bed outword from the center.

    Great video. I too found the viaduct had a curve and found it during assembly as I use a small engineers square as I assemble kits. I fixed it up as best as I could as well but certainly annoying. “God I hate this kit” summed it up perfectly. Like your paint job as well. I did my painting of mortar by using white acrylic watered down and a drop of washing up liquid. Great video to watch Charlie. Clint

    Thanks Charlie, you've really done an admirable job with your viaduct. As said earlier I've had many of the same problems with mine and am still not finished, it's "on hold" so to speak. Mine is made up of three sections - nine arches in total so quite a thing to handle when painting and weathering... Joachim

    That staining on the bricks is called efflorescence, its salts and minerals from the bricks being forced out by water. I like the paint job.

  • @Elvenhome
    @Elvenhome Před 5 lety +1

    The end result is very good, and if that was the only expletive you uttered making it I admire your fortitude. I made this kit in N Gauge and although I finished it, it drove me quite mad, particularly getting the arches to bend and fit between the two arch supports. To top it all when I finished it didn't look right on the layout. Very helpful to see the effects of using the Humbrol wash. Stephen

    @gorgschannel8990 Před 4 lety

    Dear Chatlie, this viaduct is a fine result. I cant es it in detail, but at the edges one stone suddenly gets around the corner and has got two surfaces. And that is a grat place to add realism. This Vermish brownn is a flintston colour what is exactly perfect for a hand full of "edge stones" as eyecatchers on such a gorgeous project. The more time you do invest into the differentiating of the stone colours the more realistic your stone walls will be in the very end. And there is a little lapses happen... you forgot to paint the inner handrail of your viaduct...

  • @ainsleyperry5192
    @ainsleyperry5192 Před 5 lety +1

    Charlie, Very nicely done. The nice thing with Precision paints is they never seem to dry out in the tin over time. I have a range of Precision paints in the larger 50c.c. tins 30+ years old. Still going as good as new. Humbrol, I alway's use a fresh tin.Cheers, Chris Perry.

Thanks too you I have two hooked up and working fine. All running off digitrax zephyr controls. Ky question is. Can i use some remaining g peco electrofrog turnouts with manual ground throws. If so what is the wiring issues etc. or must i purchaseO insulfrog turnouts or the newest models that peco has just befun to introduce over here in the USA. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ISE SOME OF THESE ELECTROFROG TURNOUTS IN A MANUAL MODE

    Hi Charlie, another fantastic video. As for mixing your paint try a coffee frother. You can sometimes pick them up from the local pound shop, they require a slight modification but I'm sure a guy with your skills can do it.

    Your hard work and patience clearly shows in the end result, it looks great! On camera the joints were not that visible, but if you think they are, how about some drainage pipes running down the sides? Just a thought. But certainly a great end result, Charlie, will look fantastic when its blended in with the scenery.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  Před 5 lety

      I’ve already sourced the parts required for the down pipes which I’ll cover later.
      I didn’t want to fit them yet as they are a little fragile and I wanted in place first. Stay tuned. 😀

    Hey Charlie, it's looking good, a it of inspiration for my part steel part stone viaduct (the steel bit is built).
    I bought a trumpeter paint stirrer which I really like, I think it was less than a tenner. However, it struggles with enamels that have been standing for some time as the pigments are like sticky toffee in the base of the tinlets. Being a lazy bugger I also looked around for a paint shaker but I wasn't willing to pay the money. Instead, I bought a nail varnish shaker (£18 I think) which I used for the first time yesterday and must admit I was really quite impressed (despite the glittery bling on it), although it still doesn't cope too well with the enamel "toffee".

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  Před 5 lety

      Hi John, thanks for your thoughts.
      I think that a screwdriver bit in a battery Dremel might be the answer.

  • @Zirillion

    @RobRidleyLive Před 5 lety +1

    I strongly recommend the electric paint stirrer. picked mine up from Amazon. I'm in the USA, I cannot atest to pricing, mine was the Badger Air Brush Co 121, at a very reasonable $13. Experience suggests that will be at least 20GBP. One tip, make sure to COMPLETELY submerge the agitator before turning on the mixer, much less "splatterly" that way. I've actually gone so far as to decant all my paints into 15ml plastic dropper bottle, similar to those used by Vallejo, and dropped a couple of 3mm stainless steel balls in for "shake agitation". I've found this a useful method with acrylics. My days of using Humbrol enamels are long behind me, mostly as I restarted modeliing after a long, 20+ year, hiatus.

    As you already have a dremel what you can do is get a large paper clip straighten it out cut it to a length you like and bend the bottom into an L shape stick that into your dremel and off you go. I also got an old paint tin lid and drilled a hole in the center to pass the stirrer through , that'll stop any paint spilling out

    Just a quick comment on the battery powered paint stirrer. I’ve had one for over ten years and would not be without it. I’ve used so much I had to put a new motor in it. It takes a couple of either AA or AAA batteries. After use give the agitator a good clean, I dunk in to to a a little Brush Magic and leave it for 30 minutes comes out like new. I have revitalised many a old tin of paint First class product. Whatever you do don’t take the stirrer out of your tin of paint before switching if off, makes a real mess. I sure Squires and many other shops sell them around £15 mark
    Keep the good work

    Haven’t read all the comments to see if anyone else has recommended one, but those cheap as chips coffee frothers available from Amazon are great paint stirrers. £5 at the very most.
    May have to swap the springy end that comes on them for something rigid to prevent aerating the paint though.

    I have the badger paint stirrer. Works well with model paints like Tamiya. It is just a rebranded coffee frother. A basic $1 coffee frother from eBay will probably work just as good.

    Hi Charlie, looks fantastic as always. I have a paint stirring tool as you mentioned and would definitely recommend it. Expo tools is my brand I believe but can’t remember what I paid. No more than £8 if I remember correctly. I am about to rebuild my layout as I have had so many great ideas and inspiration from yours and others. Great job, thanks....Chris

    I very much enjoy, download and watch your videos often. A suggestion--look into an ultraonic hand cutting tool, e.g., Honda USW-334 or similar. You may want to retire the "heavy" Dremel after using one.

    I do have a battery operated paint stirrer. They work good. The stirring head is only pressed on and gets lose from time to time. Other then that it was inexpensive and works well most of the time.

    For stirring paint you can get a drill or electric screw driver on low speed and put a small plastic fork like you get at fish and chip shop in the end 👍

    Hi Charlie, I bought an electric paint stirrer I think it was Squires at either Calne, TrainWest or Bristol exhibition for £9.99. Not the badger one that £13 or £14 and found it very good. Another excellent video by the way. Hope to bump into you at TrainWest or Thornbury.
