    Afternoon Charlie hope you’re well I have just watched videos 141 and 146 about installing inclines on Chadwick and I am pleased to say after watching your videos
    and plenty of working out the percentages I finished up with a 3% incline around a 3rd radius curves and straight Thatcham station West Berkshire is now a branch line station on the upper level at the end of a viaduct that I scratch built with a bay platform 1 and a platform 2 and station building with lighting and a GWR footbridge just needs signals so we now have DMU’s running thanks Charlie for inspirational videos which have helped me with this project
    Kind regards

    Hi Charlie, only just come across your Channel, what a revelation! I have been building my layout since the start of lockdown and aptly, though without much originality it’s named Lock Down. I am fed up with the tension lock couplings and was looking for some help/guidance on where to go to improve on them. I came across your videos. Now I’m hooked. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in. Your style is very easy to listen to and watch. Great work. I have many hours of catch-up viewing to do. Thanks once again.

  • @stephenlane743
    @stephenlane743 2 года назад +1

    Another great video Charlie. I actually watch this one all the way through. Normally they are just on in the background whilst I am doing something else. A link is going in my weekly newsletter again this weekend as I think its worth a watch as it shows something that I get asked about quite often, and that's to do with the angle of a rise. These seem to make the task in raising the track level quite easy, even though I have not tried them myself. No real need to when you do it for us. Keep up the good work from us all at Railwayscenics, you do make our lives easy with your videos.

    I love how real these layout videos are... You're really showing how you can do great modelling without having each and every detail 100% planned out. Sometimes you gotta rip out something because it didn't pan out like you wanted it to! No problem, just do it all over again and move on to the next bit of the layout!!

    Hello Charlie,
    When covering the Woodland inclines, you can use WS plaster cloth.
    Only it need to dry , so you can’t use it directly i think.
    And then you can put the cork and ballast on it.
    Thanks for the Video’s.
    Greetings Dominique ( Netherlands)

    A tip when the level in the copydex bottle goes down below the brush - lay the bottle down at an angle (and then on its side once you're down to the bottom 1/3rd) - and I find you can easily dip the brush in and recharge it, even rest it in there briefly. Coming along nicely!

    Charlie - best way to draw a curve on a piece of paper: mark the both ends, mark approximately your midpoint, then use a plastic shatterproof ruler on its edge and bend it to the three points, then trace your line with the pen

    • @ChadwickModelRailway

    • @rogerbass6235
      @rogerbass6235 2 года назад

      I would have used pin holes, but if you cut through them they show, like postage stamp perforations. So mark the graph paper with pen, fold an inch off its width, lay it on your plasticard and pin hole along that line, join the dots and put a inch spacer against that line, and draw your cutting line
      on the plasticard, then check against the tracing paper pattern, and if happy cut. The holes will now sit invisibly under your cork track bed. Roger

    Excellent tutorial again Charlie. I got a similar soldering station for about £40 and it has really served me well. Makes a big difference being able to vary the temperature for other tasks, plus I am forgetful so the snooze facility stops me from burning myself or racki up a huge bill! This in conjunction with my silicone mat have made soldering wires a relative doddle 😉
    Good idea to have a bay too mate. I like the idea of adding a spot of point-to point. Gives the branch station greater significance 😎

    Regarding the excavation Charlie, you could say that the line was originally broad gauge. I once read a book by a guy who held that once you had planned your track, on no account should you even think of changing it. Well nuts to that - it takes half the fun out of modelling. I'm starting layout 24 after a house move and with only 3 feet of track laid a major revision has been handed to the civil engineer.

    Beautiful Charlie, I long for and look forward to your every episode. It fuels my motivation to get working on my own. Your use of cork has given me ideas for my track laying when I get to laying down foamboard (base)... straight with nails for the track, the cork will better grab the nails instead of the track floating directly on the foamboard. Good input!

    @davidbent6059 2 года назад +1

    Another excellent and timely video, Charlie, as I have just started laying track on my layout using 3mm cork and PVA glue. One idea to make things interesting would be to have the bay track as a truncated loop. The retaining wall could be pushed back and the disused area of track bed could be used for dumps of old track materials, a point heater gas bottle compound, portacabins and plenty of weeds and bushes. Keep up the good work.

    wonderful again, many thanks Charlie, just wondering, why bother with another helix, just keep the return loop at the other end of the fiddle yard, which after all is only for storage. you would of course need another return loop at the top but would save a ton of money. Just thinking out loud. keep up the great work.

      A very interesting option Peter and to be perfectly honest, one which I hadn’t considered. I shall certainly think long and hard on this one.

    Great work Charlie... quick tip I use for curve patterns... Once you've got the pattern on tracing paper (or grease proof paper), turn it over an follow the line using a soft graphite pencil (I use either a 3B or 4B)... then turn it back, place it on the plasticard and simply scratch over the line with your fingernail. You'll end up with a perfect replica of the curve, which you can follow over with a Sharpie if needed.

    Another good one mate. A great mixture to keep everyone interested (even us N gaugers). I have a 3 degree Wood Scenics curved incline which was MUCH easier, although more expensive, to build than my upper 3mm plywood section, which flexes from sloping to horizontal under its natural bendy property. The RS wire stripper is very good, but a little intermittent, slipping on the insulation of my 7/02 droppers which are fine for N gauge current draws. Keep up the good work Charlie. Nil carborundum. Keith. :-)

    Hi Charlie,
    As your layout is GWR/WR the extra gap could be explained as: The line was originally built at 7ft 1/4" broad gauge. When it was converted back to standard gauge, it takes up less width so leaving you with extra space.

    Thanks Charlie, progressing well now. I like those small clamps you used to hold the polystyrene blocks in place while the glue dried - is there a link below for them ? I wonder if it may have been easier to have cut the tracing paper along the curve and the run around it’s edge with a pencil ? Like you, I find Copydex great for sticking track and trackbed down (a tip I got From you in the first place). Much easier to lift the trackbed or track up when things go wrong as they occasionally do, or like you say, if you change your mind about something ! Looking forward to the next instalment in two weeks time.

    Have you considered that the bend at the end of the station under the incline may of once had a passing loop that was removed by the permanent way gang as it was no longer operationally needed any more and so the line was terminated at that end of the platform and so you could model the area there as a space no longer used but still containing remnants of the track and associated equipment, eg, the odd sleeper still in situation and sleeper imprints left in a weed riddled ballast.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway

      I have spent hours on this one and loads of options too. I’m trying for a narrow feel to the approach without the farm over bridge being too long.

  • @davidclough7346

    Another great video Charlie. I've tried using Copydex on some foam underlay in my storage lanes (the thin stuff you put under laminate flooring) for the purposes of noise reduction and have found that when I subsequently drill holes through it for droppers the rubberised nature of Copydex causes it to catch the drill and wrap itself round pulling it away from the bond and getting a snotty blob (for want of a better description!) stuck on the drill which you can only get off with a craft knife blade. I'm now not putting any glue in the immediate area where holes are going - solves the issue.

  • @cranefly23
    @cranefly23 2 года назад +1

    I think you need to consider buying Shares in Copydex, Charlie! A nice bit of progress there. I always found it difficult to plan scenery around the railway - which is what we are usually obliged to do. I like the idea of the bay platform, and moving the retaining wall forward is a good move.

  • @RobA500

    Another excellent episode Charlie. I have done my inclines in a similar fashion though probably not as neat and well thought out as yours. I have use bog standard craft PVA glue and even managed to lift it and adjust it including the same track bed without ripping it, maybe I just got lucky.

    Maybe your line was built by Brunel and was therefore broad gauge? That would explain the gap at the cutting.

    Quite a range of work going into this episode. Always learning. On the excess gap at the "west" end of the incline, I wondered if you would make the retaining wall lean back. But I do like what you are doing with it. Probably need some thinking about the transition between the retaining wall, the platform and at what point does the retaining wall end and hand over to the embankment.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  2 года назад

      I have some ideas Lee but there isn’t that much about online. I doubt if it will lean back as I want it to be narrow with buttresses. I’m probably going to remove the double slip at the right hand side at the front too.

    Hi Charlie great informative video as always
    Just one thing had you thought of installing trap points at the bottom of the incline to protect the main line from a runaway train points don’t have to be operable and you could even make use of the space you have for a scenic sand drag
    Prototypically an incline to mainline always has this type of set up

    I know that I am going to be the same as you. Changing my mind as I go along the line. I know what I want and where I want it, but will it all fit? I hope to start baseboard number one in January. Is there a difference between Copydex and PVA as Copydex is not available here? I love the clock and I have a friend with an Engraver. The things I learn from this channel amaze me. Thank you, Charlie change my mind, Chadwick Martin. (Thailand)

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  2 года назад

      Copydex is just a rubberised glue. There must be something similar Martin.
