Charlie, I’m an 18 year old studying contemporary music in Bristol, let’s just say there isn’t the most comprehensive model railway community here! Your videos really help me get my modelling fix vicariously through the internet. I’m subscribed to all the major channels: Everard junction, budget model railways, 00Neal etc. but your videos are heads and shoulders above the rest, just the right amount of prototypical nerdyness, comedy value and friendly community feel along with the impressive layout. That prize is very well deserved!
Ah, so you're the 'other' case who Paul was dealing with, the 'other' person having medical distress was at our Stand, he'd come over very unwell and I sort of jumped on with his son to stop him falling to the floor and then I ran off to try find first aid - and along came these lovely people to help! Thankfully he was okay, bit warm and came over very unwell, bless him! It Was also great to meet you too sir 😊 (large man with beard at DCC concepts stand) Great gift too, that class 13! Very nice!😎😎
Congratulations on your second award Charlie - very well deserved! (And thanks to all the viewers who voted for you) Hat-trick in '24??? I'm impressed with the number of plan submissions that you got (another indication of how well you engage with your audience) For me, the the main requirement is that the freight yard needs to serve a purpose if we are doing something more that "just playing trains". Why do trains travel across a fairly long single track line to reach this terminus yard? There has to be some demand that is being serviced. The second requirement is concerned with the practicality of operation. Can the required movement be performed? Does the shunting puzzle have a solution? Some great submissions and I'm sure you'll have fun building this.
Thanks Lee, I’m so pleased that you found this video interesting. The submissions were really interesting, and so hard to pick a winner. Take care mate, regards, Charlie
Congratulations! OMG not just a class 13 but a free one to boot. I've always wanted one of these. Loved the 08s to work on and imagine the power of two together. Well said re the medics!
Congratulations on your award Charlie. As someone who has only begun his modeling journey, I was thoroughly wowed by the other submissions and will come back to this video when I put together my own yard. I was given many ideas, learned a lot, and I want to thank you for your feedback.
And that’s why you win awards Charlie. It was a great idea to get fans to submit freight yard plans but genius to talk thru the pros and cons and the practical/operational side. So many great points that budding modellers wouldn’t have considered. Your vids are always great but this was fantastic. Thanks again
Congratulations once again from the "happy wife, happy life" chap! Your videos are simultaneously entertaining, extremely well edited and produced, informative and contain substantive content, delivered in a way that appeals to all within the hobby. Just one thought regarding the freight yard: many such places would have originated prior to BR dieselisation days, so a redundant cattle dock, or out of use coal siding/coaling stage would still be prototypical and would possibly add interest value, especially if there were a couple of vintage wagons (or even an early failed Modernisation Plan loco?) slowly crumbling/rusting away on the disused stub of a once busy siding.
Congratulations on the award Charlie, very much deserved, watching your videos has inspired me I am well on the way with my 8ft x 4ft layout. Thank you. Bob G.
How fantastic that your hard work and the pleasure you bring to your viewers is recognised again. Having helped run all sorts of events for many years, I am always grateful to the First Aiders who attend the events and make sure they are safe. I have seen them called upon to do everything from a cut finger to someone going into labour.
fab as always Charlie huge congratulations on your award well deserved railway is looking fab looking forward to the next update already the class 13 looks great and what a kind jesture and will look fab in the freight yard again well done on your award
Hi Charlie - It was good to meet you at GETS and well done on the award . I did spot you going into the First Aid room and wondered what you had done !! The last track plan does seem to offer lots of operational playability and the Class 13 is unusual and a very nice addition to Chadwick. Keep Safe .......................................Cheers Kev
Congratulations on three wins, Charlie - your second well-deserved award, a fine and unique Class 13 model (the Class 08 has always been a favourite of mine since Duck and the Diesel Engine in the early 1960s), and a yard plan that is probably the best that could possibly be achieved in the available space. So much was packed into that yard area without looking packed in, so much scope for varied operation was included, and - miracle of miracles - no points violated board joints (I presume that you were not keen to relocate the latter to accommodate any of the other plans). I eagerly await seeing it assume a third dimension. Well done Mr Hall and Mr Lawless, and thanks to all of the other contributors. I am subscribed to far too many RUclips channels to follow properly, but there are three model railway channels that are, for me, absolute no-misses. Two are yours and Sam's Trains. I learn much from both of you, gain a lot of inspiration from yours as well, and depend upon Sam for his reviews. I am English by birth, but have lived in Canada since 1965 so have no opportunity to attend British shows (the Great British Train Show in Brampton Ontario is a no-miss, but the gap between each one is a long, long, long two years) or visit British model railway shops. The third is Boomer Diorama www.youtube.com/@boomerdioramas, a Canadian retired film industry model-maker - obviously no threat to your third award a year hence for geographical reasons. So congratulations again, Charlie, and thanks for all that you have done to educate, assist, and inspire so many of us. Mark
Thanks Mark, for such a heartwarming comment. I too follow Sam, if I need to look up a Loco, then that’s the place to go. So sorry to hear that your model railway shows, are few and far between. I shall certainly check out Boomer diorama. Stay safe mate, regards, Charlie
Good to meet you at GETS (on the table next to you at the awards with the hat on) and congrats. Track plan looks good. The shunters would likely have the 08 positioned close to where it will be needed when the train comes in to save on time later. Building the train up on that inner section is the right idea too, as you say it adds capacity so another freight can arrive. Id also have the exit signal a whole train length (inc shunting engine) past the first set of points if you can. Look forward to it. Eric
Congrats on the award. A worthy recipient as you can keep someone like me without a train layout interested. Carefully balanced content that doesn't assume everyone knows everything you are talking about. Well done. 👍
Thank you Charlie, your award is really justified. I have learned a great deal and you have given me some serious inspiration. Thanks to the subscribers who contributed as well.
Congratulation's..... You deserved the award and the kind gifts. It's just a small token of Thanks for what you give back to the community. Thank You!!!
Congratulation on yout award. It was great to see you there. I enjoyed it very much and meeting all the youtubers there. Well done and thank you for your inspiring videoes.
Hi Charlie, it was nice to meet you at GET’S, you are a major contribution over the past 7 years since i retired to me shelling out loads of cash in this hobby, so watch out Mrs Exehaven is tracking you down! Seriously Charlie you’re a source of great information and inspiration for all of us that watch your channel, which of course leads to you getting that much deserved award. Cheers Charlie, John
Great video as always Charlie. Congratulations on winning the prize. It was great to meet you briefly Sunday morning and have a chat about the help you give to me and the community. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Roy.
Charlie... Congratulations on the Award! You thoroughly deserve it, and it is a joy to watch you every fortnight - I always look forward to the upcoming episode and get rather saddened when I somehow miscount my weeks 😂... Keep up the good work and for thank you being such a relatable character - Mitchell (29), from Johannesburg, South Africa
Well deserved award Charlie. The interest of your viewers in what and how you present it is key. The level of interaction for your yard is amazing. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations Charlie a well deserved win. There are a good number of model railway RUclipsrs around but you have a very special extra something that makes you and your channel stand out from the others. Best regards Mark
Charlie thanks for another gem and describing your experience at GETS as well as your breakdown on your submitted yard plans. It was great to see some computer assisted designs, as well as those drawn by hand and even photos of ideas made up! I can appreciate where you were emotional and though I got to GETS myself I wasn’t there long - it was my wedding anniversary weekend and though I tried to give a good day to my wife it wasn’t her thing so I had to bail very early. We were both astounded by how many people turned up and the sheer interest in the hobby. For me at least it was pleasing to see. Fair play to Nick and I’d agree he’s given an excellent gift. I’m chuffed you won another award and I’m sure I won’t be in a minority when I say it’s richly deserved. As a fun (or silly) thing I’m linking a cheeky unlisted video of something I spotted in a shop refurb near me…..I did consider ramraiding the place for you but I doubt I’d even get out of London let alone to West Camel. Cheers Charlie and best from me : ) ruclips.net/video/9KEaCHlbJ9c/видео.htmlsi=VN9g7XnF69Owklu0
Thank you, Captain pub watch for such a heartwarming comment. Yes I agree the show was far too busy but the people there were so friendly. Stay safe my friend, regards, Charlie
Well done Charlie i voted for you again this year, carry on with your great videos and your good sense of humour, also love the bloopers from time to time
Congratulations on the award Charlie. All your hard work has been rewarded for a well deserved, interesting and informative channel. A big thumbs up to the medics who help out at all sorts of events.
Congratulations again Charlie on the award. I think this video exemplified everything there is to show about your channel. You went through the track plans with care and consideration and I'm sure all the contributors were grateful for you comments. I would agree that GETS was indeed a good show, but it was difficult at some times to get to see the wonderful layouts on display. It just goes to show how popular this hobby of ours is. I went on the Sunday, but trying to spot you amongst the hundreds of people there was finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. I was looking forward very much to having a quick chat. Anyhow keep up the brilliant work with Chadwick. Oh I almost forgot that Class 13 with slave is an absolute peach of a model. Regards Kevin
Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel and found the that Model railway show was a great success. Yes it was busy, but I imagine it wouldn’t be popular if it wasn’t! Take care mate, regards, Charlie
You are top notch for do-it-yourselfers (DIYs)! Total explanation of expansion plans, reasoning, considerations, etc. I can see why they picked you for Front End to Back End view of how you plan a project for any hobbyist in model railroading...
Well deserved win Charlie, may your videos continue to provide pleasure to all for next years win🎉. Great video to start and it’s nice to see your supporters offering gifts like that, it just shows how people really enjoy your work, it’s great to see.
Very well deserved award Charlie and it was a pleasure to meet you personally in the bar of the Hotel on the Friday night. You are a true gent ! Cheers Euan
A super model of the 13; bet Charlie's well-chuffed with it. Whilst, of course, the three locos of the class only ever worked at Tinsley (Sheffield), that model really looks at home on Chadwick. As only two were ever needed at Tinsley at any one time, and indeed two of the three were actually scrapped at Swindon, one could easily justify having one reallocated to Chadwick. Sometimes we can get all too serious with our modelling... Oh, and congrats on your well-deserved award. I wouldn't have the patience to do such a well-thought-out fortnightly video.
Congratulations on the award Charlie, you deserve it. Your channel is far better than any of the other possible contenders, good as one or two of them might be.
Well done on the award Charlie and from watching other channels it seems many many shook your hand, i initially thought that is how the injury may have occurred. One day i will venture over and potentially have that pleasure. Like the plan and like the way it's explained in that track plans generally serve a real purpose. All the best
Again Charlie, congratulations on the award. As you mention going through the track plans, there are some different ideas that merit thought. The idea of a disused branch could be utilised on the last presented plan ( which seems to be your preferred one), continueing on at the end of the outside line and going off scene. Would give a little something to a mainly industrial aura. Arthur
Top man Charlie! You earned your repeat award and I am delighted for you. You balance information, education and clarity with humility, variety and even comedy sometimes. Keep up the great work and thank you 👍👏😁
Congratulations Charlie on the award for the best youtuber. I tried to say hello Sunday morning but it seems you were off on a mission to the bar area. I know you were probably very busy, maybe next year.
Charlie, your RUclipsr of the year award is most truly deserved. Time and again, I find my self looking at your older videos. I am just approaching the verge of 800 subs....but I will never forget who and what inspired me to start. The only regret I have is that I could not make GETS this year due to health. Maybe around Christmas time if the club is having an open day. Love to you and also Margaret mate x
This is one of the best videos Charlie has done! BTW, congratulations on your well-deserved award...time to go for the three-peat. The reason this video is so good, is the analysis Charlie provides on the suggested track layouts. Thanks go to the people who took the time to provide design suggestions and even though some had inherent problems as detailed by Charlie, it is nevertheless really helpful to understand the through process he goes through in the design phase. Great job, everyone! And, thanks again for the fantastic videos. kindest regards, Graeme
Well done on the award Charlie , your presenting style and way of explaining what you are doing makes the videos very easy to watch as well as being informative .
@@ChadwickModelRailway that's ok.and the class 13 is one of the classes I never got to see In real life , would of liked to have done one of the railtours they hauled.
Well Done Charlie on the award ,well deserved.When I first started watching I was always slightly put off by the fact that Chadwick was more round the loop runner than an operational railroad. I see that I am wrong from flour mills to Bishops biscuits !cheers
Nice video, as usual, Charlie! A pair of EMD SW-series switchers, one of which is cabless, was called a "cow and calf" over hear. I think their original purpose was to haul transfer runs between yards in a metro area and maybe heavy switching duties. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Firstly congratulations on your well deserved reward, I watch a lot of RUclips modelers and you are by far the best. Also thanks for yet another informative video, look forward to seeing the Freight yard develop 👍
Congratulations on your award Charlie. Love the idea of the grain storage on your freight yard. Maybe ‘Bishops Bakery’ instead of ‘Bishops Biscuits? Congratulations again.
Hi Charlie congratulations on your award well done you deserved your Chanel is always sooo interesting and full of tips. I have took down y layout and starting again I just hope I live long enough to see it up and running LOL I had a lot problems with my last one and could not put up with it any longer, my son is building all the the new boards for me and and making a much better job of than I in the loft. anyway Charlie yet another great video, and great to see people putting in there suggestions just shows how popular you and though I have never met you you have become a a RUclips friend if you get my drift. cant wait to see the next video and the track down. Best wishes Charlie.
Well done on the award Charlie, definitely deserved! Great explanations on what works & what doesn't for the yard. Really helpful as I am planning a new layout here in Cusco, Peru. My last one was unplanned & over 43yrs ago!
Charlie, another superb video and glad my vote made the difference! I am still reeling from the positivity of GETS and glad that my my feelings about it echoed yours. Sorry, I missed you. The Class 13 is superb and although niche, has identified a model of interest for so many, maybe an opportunity for a manufacturer? I loved the input onto you yard by so many. It makes a change for you not built it, lift it, build it, lift it and build it again! (Like we all do) Can you fit a hump into it? Your explanations around your choices were superb. As usual, it made me think again about my goods area and industrial sidings but probably can’t change much. I am sure this will be a well thought out, fun addition to the railway. Thanks for forcing my Railway Mojo into overdrive
Well done on the award, hopefully the person who was taken ill made a full recovery. Great to see so many ideas being submitted and looking forward to the layout update once you get started on the selected plan.
😂😂😂 This has made my day Charlie! Much love, ‘Paul the paramedic’ 😁 hope the hand is ok!
I’m so pleased that your presence was recognised mate, you’re a real star. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Charlie, I’m an 18 year old studying contemporary music in Bristol, let’s just say there isn’t the most comprehensive model railway community here!
Your videos really help me get my modelling fix vicariously through the internet. I’m subscribed to all the major channels: Everard junction, budget model railways, 00Neal etc. but your videos are heads and shoulders above the rest, just the right amount of prototypical nerdyness, comedy value and friendly community feel along with the impressive layout. That prize is very well deserved!
Thank you George for such a heartwarming comment. It’s remarks such as these to make the channel worthwhile. Take care, regards to Charlie

Great gift too, that class 13! Very nice!😎😎
Thanks IHR, and thankfully the real patient was fine. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on your 2nd win and wonderful channel 👍
Cheers from Oz
That’s extremely kind of you to say so mate. Take care, regards, Charlie
Congratulations on your second award Charlie - very well deserved! (And thanks to all the viewers who voted for you) Hat-trick in '24???
I'm impressed with the number of plan submissions that you got (another indication of how well you engage with your audience)
For me, the the main requirement is that the freight yard needs to serve a purpose if we are doing something more that "just playing trains". Why do trains travel across a fairly long single track line to reach this terminus yard? There has to be some demand that is being serviced.
The second requirement is concerned with the practicality of operation. Can the required movement be performed? Does the shunting puzzle have a solution?
Some great submissions and I'm sure you'll have fun building this.
Thanks Lee, I’m so pleased that you found this video interesting.
The submissions were really interesting, and so hard to pick a winner.
Take care mate, regards, Charlie
Congratulations! OMG not just a class 13 but a free one to boot. I've always wanted one of these. Loved the 08s to work on and imagine the power of two together. Well said re the medics!
Thanks MRU, that’s most kind.
Regards Charlie.
Charlie, that award is well deserved and you should be right proud about that.
Well done you.
Thanks mate, it’s great to have you on board. Regards Charlie
Congratulations on your award Charlie. As someone who has only begun his modeling journey, I was thoroughly wowed by the other submissions and will come back to this video when I put together my own yard. I was given many ideas, learned a lot, and I want to thank you for your feedback.
Many thanks Aqua Marine, especially for your submission. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
And that’s why you win awards Charlie. It was a great idea to get fans to submit freight yard plans but genius to talk thru the pros and cons and the practical/operational side. So many great points that budding modellers wouldn’t have considered. Your vids are always great but this was fantastic. Thanks again
Thanks Kev, it’s comments such as yours that make it all worthwhile. Regards Charlie
Congratulations once again from the "happy wife, happy life" chap!
Your videos are simultaneously entertaining, extremely well edited and produced, informative and contain substantive content, delivered in a way that appeals to all within the hobby.
Just one thought regarding the freight yard: many such places would have originated prior to BR dieselisation days, so a redundant cattle dock, or out of use coal siding/coaling stage would still be prototypical and would possibly add interest value, especially if there were a couple of vintage wagons (or even an early failed Modernisation Plan loco?) slowly crumbling/rusting away on the disused stub of a once busy siding.
Many thanks for your congratulations, Steve . Thanks for the excellent point you made regarding redundant, rolling stock et cetera. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on the award Charlie, very much deserved, watching your videos has inspired me I am well on the way with my 8ft x 4ft layout. Thank you. Bob G.

Congratulations on three wins, Charlie - your second well-deserved award, a fine and unique Class 13 model (the Class 08 has always been a favourite of mine since Duck and the Diesel Engine in the early 1960s), and a yard plan that is probably the best that could possibly be achieved in the available space.
So much was packed into that yard area without looking packed in, so much scope for varied operation was included, and - miracle of miracles - no points violated board joints (I presume that you were not keen to relocate the latter to accommodate any of the other plans).

I would agree that GETS was indeed a good show, but it was difficult at some times to get to see the wonderful layouts on display. It just goes to show how popular this hobby of ours is. I went on the Sunday, but trying to spot you amongst the hundreds of people there was finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. I was looking forward very much to having a quick chat. Anyhow keep up the brilliant work with Chadwick. Oh I almost forgot that Class 13 with slave is an absolute peach of a model. Regards Kevin
Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel and found the that Model railway show was a great success. Yes it was busy, but I imagine it wouldn’t be popular if it wasn’t! Take care mate, regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie,
Great to meet you today. Thanks for taking the time to chat and look under my layout! 😂
Thanks Dibs, and congratulations on your great little layout.
Regards Charlie
You are top notch for do-it-yourselfers (DIYs)! Total explanation of expansion plans, reasoning, considerations, etc. I can see why they picked you for Front End to Back End view of how you plan a project for any hobbyist in model railroading...
Thanks S 27, that’s very kind of you to say so.
Well deserved win Charlie, may your videos continue to provide pleasure to all for next years win🎉. Great video to start and it’s nice to see your supporters offering gifts like that, it just shows how people really enjoy your work, it’s great to see.
Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Good luck with your project, regards, Charlie
Congratulations Charlie, go you!!!
Thanks Karl, your support is much appreciated. Regards Charlie
Congratulations on the award. Very well deserved. I like the last plan very much. It seems to fit perfectly
Thanks Redbank, yes it clearly is a great design. Regards, Charlie
Very well deserved award Charlie and it was a pleasure to meet you personally in the bar of the Hotel on the Friday night. You are a true gent ! Cheers Euan
Thanks Euan, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
I enjoyed looking through everyones track plans, a real interesting selection of ideas. Well done Charlie on the award.
Thanks Matt, and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the review of the submissions. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on the award Charlie. Well deserved, you and Larry Puckett are my favourite model railway RUclipsrs.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you find the channel interesting. Regards Charlie
A super model of the 13; bet Charlie's well-chuffed with it.
Whilst, of course, the three locos of the class only ever worked at Tinsley (Sheffield), that model really looks at home on Chadwick. As only two were ever needed at Tinsley at any one time, and indeed two of the three were actually scrapped at Swindon, one could easily justify having one reallocated to Chadwick.
Sometimes we can get all too serious with our modelling...
Oh, and congrats on your well-deserved award. I wouldn't have the patience to do such a well-thought-out fortnightly video.
An excellent comment, Peter, and hopefully the class 13 will feel comfortable in its new surroundings. Regards, Charlie
The award is well deserved my husband dave and i always enjoy your videos
Thanks Caroline, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the videos. Regards, Charlie
Brilliant. Well done Charlie.
Thanks Sean, that’s most kind. Regards Charlie
Gonrgats for winning the award again!! Well deserved Charlie! Great shunting set too. Very nice present! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Congratulations on the award Charlie, you deserve it. Your channel is far better than any of the other possible contenders, good as one or two of them might be.
Thanks Brian, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Very interesting the way you analysed each layout Charlie 👍
It was the least I could do to show my gratitude, Martin. Regards, Charlie.
@@ChadwickModelRailway i agree ☝️👍
Charlie, you had me in tears watching the beginning! Well done with the award - well deserved 😭😭😭
Thanks Roger, it was rather emotional. Regards, Charlie
congratulations on the award, it is rightly deserved for your series of entertaining informative and educational videos .
Thanks John, that’s most kind. It’s great to have you on board, regards, Charlie
Well done on the award Charlie and from watching other channels it seems many many shook your hand, i initially thought that is how the injury may have occurred. One day i will venture over and potentially have that pleasure. Like the plan and like the way it's explained in that track plans generally serve a real purpose. All the best
Many thanks four oaks, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the freight yard explanation. Regards, Charlie
SIR Charlie now !!!! almost a star !!! awesome for you and this award. HI from your Frenchy fan.
Thanks Phillippe, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Again Charlie, congratulations on the award. As you mention going through the track plans, there are some different ideas that merit thought. The idea of a disused branch could be utilised on the last presented plan ( which seems to be your preferred one), continueing on at the end of the outside line and going off scene. Would give a little something to a mainly industrial aura. Arthur
Many thanks Arthur. Yes the disused line idea is certainly worth considering. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Top man Charlie! You earned your repeat award and I am delighted for you. You balance information, education and clarity with humility, variety and even comedy sometimes. Keep up the great work and thank you 👍👏😁
Thanks Andy, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations Charlie on the award for the best youtuber. I tried to say hello Sunday morning but it seems you were off on a mission to the bar area. I know you were probably very busy, maybe next year.
Thanks Anthony, and I’m so sorry that we didn’t have a chance to chat. Maybe next time, regards, Charlie
Charlie, your RUclipsr of the year award is most truly deserved. Time and again, I find my self looking at your older videos. I am just approaching the verge of 800 subs....but I will never forget who and what inspired me to start. The only regret I have is that I could not make GETS this year due to health. Maybe around Christmas time if the club is having an open day. Love to you and also Margaret mate x
Thanks Roger, that’s most kind mate. Sorry to hear that you’ve been under the weather. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
This is one of the best videos Charlie has done! BTW, congratulations on your well-deserved award...time to go for the three-peat. The reason this video is so good, is the analysis Charlie provides on the suggested track layouts. Thanks go to the people who took the time to provide design suggestions and even though some had inherent problems as detailed by Charlie, it is nevertheless really helpful to understand the through process he goes through in the design phase. Great job, everyone! And, thanks again for the fantastic videos. kindest regards, Graeme
Many thanks, Mr M for such an inspirational comment.
Stay safe mate, regards, Charlie
Well done on the award Charlie , your presenting style and way of explaining what you are doing makes the videos very easy to watch as well as being informative .
Thanks Shaun, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the videos. Regards Charlie
Congrats, and well deserved Charlie
Thanks Rodney, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
As you said GETS was great because of all the people (as well as the great layouts). Congratulations on the award, well deserved.
Thanks Andrew , that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Good evening Charlie so glad you won the award again and so glad you like the road vehicles as I said I hope they will be of use.
Thank you, Stephen, there was some excellent examples in the bag. If only we had more time to chat, see you at the next one, regards, Charlie
Congratulations on winning the award, and the class 13 is a nice and interesting loco.
Thanks Ian, and yes the class 13 is a real gem. Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway that's ok.and the class 13 is one of the classes I never got to see In real life , would of liked to have done one of the railtours they hauled.
Hi Charlie, well deserved award simple as that!
Steve
Hi Steve, that’s most kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie.
Well Done Charlie on the award ,well deserved.When I first started watching I was always slightly put off by the fact that Chadwick was more round the loop runner than an operational railroad. I see that I am wrong from flour mills to Bishops biscuits !cheers
Yes, Mark, the layout has certainly moved on from being that simple tail chaser. Regards, Charlie
Nice video, as usual, Charlie! A pair of EMD SW-series switchers, one of which is cabless, was called a "cow and calf" over hear. I think their original purpose was to haul transfer runs between yards in a metro area and maybe heavy switching duties. Cheers from Wisconsin!
That’s most interesting, Andrew, over here, we call the master and slave, stay safe, regards, Charlie
Congratulations Charlie.
Thanks Craig, regards, Charlie
Congratulations on your award, well deserved in my humble opinion.
Thanks Richard, that’s most kind. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on the award Charlie very well deserved 🇦🇺
Thanks Martin, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie

Congratulations on your award - absolutely deserved! Also, get well soon for your serious injury. 😉
Best regards from northern Germany,
Carsten
Thanks Carsten, I’m healing nicely. Regards, Charlie
Pleased to be the first to say 'Congratulations' to Charlie! Well done😀
Thanks Colin, that’s most kind mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Congratulations on your award Charlie. Love the idea of the grain storage on your freight yard. Maybe ‘Bishops Bakery’ instead of ‘Bishops Biscuits? Congratulations again.
Thanks John, very much appreciated. It’s a bit of a puzzle I like biscuits and baking! Regards, Charlie
Logo could be "Three Bs" or "B3" or "BBB" for "Bishop's Bread and Biscuits"
Hi Charlie congratulations on your award well done you deserved your Chanel is always sooo interesting and full of tips. I have took down y layout and starting again I just hope I live long enough to see it up and running LOL I had a lot problems with my last one and could not put up with it any longer, my son is building all the the new boards for me and and making a much better job of than I in the loft. anyway Charlie yet another great video, and great to see people putting in there suggestions just shows how popular you and though I have never met you you have become a a RUclips friend if you get my drift. cant wait to see the next video and the track down. Best wishes Charlie.
Thanks Tony, it’s comments such as yours that makes the whole thing worthwhile. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Congratulations, Charlie, another win is fantastic for chadwick, a great video, yet again, very grateful and very informative. Best regards, Mark
Thanks Mark, that’s really kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Well done on the award Charlie, definitely deserved! Great explanations on what works & what doesn't for the yard. Really helpful as I am planning a new layout here in Cusco, Peru. My last one was unplanned & over 43yrs ago!
Thanks Mike, I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful. Regards Charlie
Charlie, another superb video and glad my vote made the difference! I am still reeling from the positivity of GETS and glad that my my feelings about it echoed yours. Sorry, I missed you. The Class 13 is superb and although niche, has identified a model of interest for so many, maybe an opportunity for a manufacturer?
I loved the input onto you yard by so many. It makes a change for you not built it, lift it, build it, lift it and build it again! (Like we all do) Can you fit a hump into it? Your explanations around your choices were superb. As usual, it made me think again about my goods area and industrial sidings but probably can’t change much. I am sure this will be a well thought out, fun addition to the railway.
Thanks for forcing my Railway Mojo into overdrive
Thanks time fellow, and I’m so pleased that the channel gives you a little motivation. Regards, Charlie
Great to meet you again on Sunday at GETS with some gentle ribbing from Lord Al of Dragon Junction lol. Well done on the award.
Thanks mate, the pleasure was all mine. Regards, Charlie
WELL DONE CHARLIE! You are AWESOME!
I love the Class 13, never knew UK had those
Thanks Jade, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. However, the UK only had three class 13s. Regards, Charlie
Huge congratulations on your award… well deserved …. Matelot/Bar, how messy could that get 🤣😂🤣😂
As you can imagine, Phil, it was shocking. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations Charlie on your award, great stuff. Looking forward to seeing your videos soon. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Glen, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Regards Charlie
Love the Class13... wonderful engine. The yard looks good too,
Thanks George, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Well done on the award, hopefully the person who was taken ill made a full recovery. Great to see so many ideas being submitted and looking forward to the layout update once you get started on the selected plan.
Thanks Chris, so pleased that you find the channel interesting. Regards, Charlie
