😂😂😂 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
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 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 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
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.
You make an excellent point, these medic types are clearly unsung heroes that we normally would never see. Regards, Charlie
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!😎😎
Thanks IHR, and thankfully the real patient was fine. 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
To everyone who submitted track plans Thank you they were Great and to all the Fans that support this Channel make it what it is today
Thanks Chris, that’s very kind of you to say so. Take care, 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
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
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
Thanks Kev, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and also GETS. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Hornby RUclips Channel of the year? Absolute no brainer. Many congratulations Charlie. Very well deserved.
That’s very kind of you to say so Vernon. Regards Charlie
Congrats on Winning again Charlie, thoroughly deserved.
Thanks Lindsay, that’s most kind mate. 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 deserved. Excellent....must "hand" it to you.....a "cut" above the rest !
That’s very kind of you to say so, Rob. Regards, Charlie
I missed the notification but I see a class 13
My day has been made😂
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. 2155. Regards, Charlie
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.
Much appreciated, however, with your strange login, are you a subscriber? Regards, Charlie
Well done on the award Charlie - nobody deserved it more. Your video library is my constant go-to info source!
Thanks Alan, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. 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 winning the award again Charlie, well done.
Thanks Jon, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. 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.
Thanks Bob, I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful. Regards Charlie
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
Hi Charlie, well deserved award simple as that!
Steve
Hi Steve, that’s most kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie.
Congratulations on your second award Charlie. I agree with all the other comments, well deserved and please keep going with your channel.
Thanks Kevin, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
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
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and your support is very much appreciated. Regards Charlie
That award is well deserved, Charlie. Thanks for making great videos!
Thanks mate, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie. Many congrats on your award. An interesting selection of track plans.
Thanks Paul, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
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. 👍
Thanks Glen, for such a kind comment. Regards Charlie.
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
That’s very kind of you say so Mark. It’s comments such yours, that make it all worthwhile. Regards Charlie
“Bishops Biscuits” now there’s a cracking merch idea for Chadwick 😊
Crumbs peachy, that’s sunny, I never thought of! Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Will you be doing chocolate digestives?
Custard creams are definitely booked.
Chadwick Cookies?
Congratulations on your award Charlie, as always a good video.
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Brilliant, you deserve to win again, 😊😊
Thanks Lee, that’s most kind. Regards, Charlie
Congratulations Charlie.

Congratulations on the award Charlie - well deserved.

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.
Thanks Duncan, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Stay safe, 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 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
I have been toying with the idea of putting a train track in my landscaping in my backyard.
That sounds like an interesting plan, as long as the weather is kind in your area. Regards, Charlie
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.
Thanks chrome blue wing, yes, the medics are very much unsung heros. Regards Charlie
Congratulations Charlie! I voted for you again. Love the channel and will vote for it again next year for sure.
Peter, that’s extremely kind of you mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Brilliant! The last 3 minutes were particularly enlightening.
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. Regards Charlie
Congratulations Charlie, go you!!!
Thanks Karl, your support is much appreciated. Regards Charlie
wholesome and great episode of chadwick lore
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Regards Charlie
Well deserved award, thumbs up for the NHS and well done to all who supported your project with plan submissions.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, our first aiders are often unsung heroes. Regards Charlie
A Power Packed Episode this one Charlie, containing Lots of info I didn’t know was of Interest to me, so thanks for Broadening my Horizons- Looks like you’ll have to extend the head-shunt of the New Yard to Accept the Class 13 😉 A Great Response to the Track plan Appeal and I have to say that I’ve “ScreenGrabbed” a couple for Future Reference - I hope your Injury Heals Speedily, and that the “Other guy” is on the mend also 😜 Chadwick MR is a winner with me Every Fortnight, not Just Once A Year, Many thanks 🏆🙌🏻
Many thanks Donni. It’s comment such as yours that make the channel worthwhile. Take care, regards, Charlie
A well deserved win, Charlie. Nice one!
Thanks Dicky, that’s most kind. 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
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.
Thanks Filip, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. 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
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
Charlie, you had me in tears watching the beginning! Well done with the award - well deserved 😭😭😭
Thanks Roger, it was rather emotional. Regards, Charlie
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 : )

Thank you, Captain pub watch for such a heartwarming comment.

Good for you Charlie.
Thanks FWB, that’s most kind. 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
Well done Charlie on you😊r trophy, you deserve it....again. The class 13 is really a nice model, if they were Bachmann classes the cabs slide off, I'm making 2 for my layout.....not sure about Hornby class 08 cabs?? I like watching your shunter video and now you can add a 13 to your collection. Nice to see folks getting involved in the layout competition some good ideas there. I think folks like to give something back and those gifts are a way of saying thank you for a down to earth 🌎 channel 😊. Looking forward to seeing the progress, take care🎃
It’s comments such as yours, that make the channel worthwhile.
Stay safe, 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 ☝️👍
I loved the format of going over your fanbase's submissions. It was extremely watchable and even parts of the ones you rejected gave me some ideas for my own projects.
Thanks Ste, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. Regards Charlie
Well done on winning again this year, Charlie, well deserved. Shame I missed you as went on the Sunday,would of loved a chat. Atb Graham 👍🙂

Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Good luck with your project, regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie, congratulations on winning the award again richly deserved.
Thank you also for showing my submission and for going through each and everyone of the others. Well done to all the other contributors.
I had a whale of a time building mine and getting it to work. There was just enough space to take the triplets off and shunt them to the industry sidings. It looks a big space but its quite tight.
Did you see the video I made operating it? My class 8 shunter didnt like travelling the points but the class 20 made mince meat of them and hasnt been used in many years.
Had a lot of fun doing it as I do watching your videos!!
Have a great weekend!!
PS Maybe someone has done a video showing how to fit capacitors to those class 8 shunters🤔🤔🤔🤔😅😅
Thanks David, and also for your submission. I have fitted a stair alive in an 08, it was in my first couple of videos. Stay safe mate, regards, Charlie
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.
Thanks Roy, and I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, congratulations on your well deserved award. The time and effort you put into filming and editing your videos clearly shows in the quality of their content. There were some interesting track plan submissions and for what it’s worth, if I were you I would also choose the last one you showed. Regards, David
Hi David, I’m so pleased that you agree with the track plan selection and enjoy my videos. Regards Charlie

RUclipsr of the year award 2 years on the trot! Well done!
Thanks CT, much appreciated. Charlie
Charlie, I hate to inject a negative note on the otherwise superb yard track plan, but I would avoid Peco 3 way points if possible, especially where shunting of small wheelbase vans or wagons is required. They are usually fine pulling a train through from the non toe end, but as they are in effect two small radius points jacked together, when pushing through the point, I have had endless derailments, so won't be using again. Check out the guys on the excellent Smallwood exhibition layout, they had exactly the same configuration on the lower freight line of two facing 3 way points, and the last time I saw the layout, they had swopped them out for a left and right point at each end. Well done on award, totally deserved. Rob
Thanks Rob, for your useful advice. However, I will give it a go but of course, nothing is final in the world of Chadwick! Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on your second award 2 years running it’s well deserved for everything you do giving all your subscribers an insight of what you have achieved with chadwick and inspiration for us to do projects on our layouts l thought I saw you with something wrapped around your hand glad you got it sorted l bought some hunt magnetic couplings from chris at west hill wagon works for my 3 sets
of hst’s and forgot to get some for my class 56 to CDA clay wagons which ones would you recommend l have seen your video on couplings but not sure which would work best informative video on your track plan options nice to meet you last week and have a chat it was great to see the amazing layouts and stands with great stuff to buy but I agree it’s the friendly people who we meet at these events
that makes our hobby great anyway take care
Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffield
Many thanks Kev. Sadly, regarding your class 56 I can’t help you on the coupling front. However, I’m sure Chris Bower of West Hill wagon works, can. He was great to catch up with you, and so many other subscribers, Regards, Charlie
Congratulations on the award Charlie , very well deserved! The last track plan is definitely a winner , really like the way it all has a purpose 👍
Thanks Lee, I must admit I’m chuffed to bits with it.
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...

Hello Charlie, hope your doing well. I heard that your yard will primarily focus on Van traffic and Conflat traffic. Certainly under BR Van and Conflat trains did not require a brake van. However in the event there was a Van in the consist that was unfitted, this would brake the rule and a brake van would be required. Same applied for Mineral Traffic. The general consensus on BR was that Bauxite liveried Vans and Mineral Wagons (16/21ton) were fitted with through braking. Whereas Grey denoted unfitted Vans or Mineral Wagons (16/21ton) and a brake van would be necessary. Conflat wagons were fitted.
By the era your basing your layout Van and Conflat traffic was largely fully fitted and the requirements for brake vans were very shallow.
Hope this will help in some way,
Kind Regards. James.
Many thanks for your comment, James. I do understand the intricacies of fitted and unfitted stock. However, there are literally thousands of occasions where brake vans are coupled to vacuum fitted stock. Furthermore, I like the use of brake vans to enhance the complexity of shunting operations. Take care, regards, Charlie
Not a problem Charlie, I had a funny feeling you might well have known that already. Take care.
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 on the award Charlie, very well deserved.
Thanks Paul, that’s really kind of you to say so mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Once again a great video and a well deserved award. You're a gent for taking the time to go through the submissions publicly and so kindly. I know I appreciated the shout out. It's part of what makes your channel so great! I think that final plan looks really interesting and I'm sure you will make it amazing. I like that you can build a train on the departures whilst waiting for arrivals so the loco can drop off one train and pick up another. Plus you 2 areas of interest in terms of the unloading area and the grain store area. Just putting it out there is there no way you can extend the boards a little to allow you to fit you ideal length of 4 triplets.
Unfortunately I couldn’t change the dimensions once I had asked for submissions. However, now that the final track plan has been decided, it can clearly be modified. Thanks once more for your submission, regards, Charlie
