As always another great video, Charlie! I always look on at your layout in awe, I stated last week that I would magpie some of your techniques and I'm going to say it again. The techniques you use are incredible and I will be 'magping'. I can't wait for your special 100th video special. Owen 😊
Hi Charlie, I am ex- Navy, retired pro Photographer, When I took up model railways to aid Ptsd, I Found your channel and subscribed, My layout is small and I run anything, mostly steam tank engines from any company I wish, Its really relaxing just to sit back and watch the trains go by, But I do love scratch building, Anyway I diverse, strangely some of the things you have highlighted have found their way onto my own layout, Always enjoy your Videos. keep it up and thank you
Ive watched several videos so far and i think a shout out to the Mrs is due. To date i recall you absconding with the dear womans hand mirror, talc, kitchen blow torch, and panty hose. Now i suspect the poor lady is without a sieve. Very enjoyable Mr Bishop! Thank you so much,
I may be the only person here that doesn’t have a model railway ? 😮 but I find your posts absolutely fascinating Charlie. Your laid back easy approach makes watching these videos an absolute pleasure. Thank you 🙏 Almost forgot, this looks excellent 👍
Well after watching this, I finally pulled the "trigger" and got a hot glue gun... What fun they are, so much more definite than using PVA!!. So underrated!
Hi I am not a model railway enthusiast but my husband is . He often watches different youtube videos for information while I'm sat board watching with him. I have to tell you that yours are the only videos I am happy to sit and watch you are a throughly entertaining man and your new hillside is looking really good.
Hello Charlie. You are a gentleman. There was no need to apologize at the beginning. We, that know you a little, understand your humor. And we realized you were only kidding about the wind clearing up your debris. Great tutorial on scene building. And I agree, a good glue gun is worth it. One suggestion. The tunnel portal gets lost, due to it’s coloring being so close to the rock faces surrounding it. Maybe a little lighter shade would make it pop out a little better? Okay, that’s my 2 cents. It’s all coming along nicely. Early congratulations on the upcoming 100th episode. See ya then. Bye.
Once again Charlie, you nailed it (or should I say scenic cemented it!). Back in the dark ages when I had my own layout, I never got involved with scenery but to see yours taking shape, I really wish that I did. The nerves did show a bit before you cut into the hillside but, that only shows you take pride in your modelling - and I don't blame you. As always, love your humor, enthusiasm, skill and dedication and really looking forward to your 100th episode. As a footnote here, some soap operas never made it to 100 episodes so this is a great milestone. Chadwick is also much more entertaining but, as you say, we are where we are with it. Stay safe & take care.
Charlie, I too have a set of clothes dedicated to painting, plaster, etc. Keeps the nicer ones from getting all grungy. Have you ever tried to install your plaster rocks wet? To do that you pour the plaster into the mold and let it set up just until the plaster starts to crack if you flex the mold slightly. That's when you want to put the rock into place. The rock will really conform to the hillside that way. And as for having things stuck in the mail, I have a package from eBay (shipped from China) that has been sitting in Indiana (3 states to the east of me) for 8 days now! I could have driven out and gotten it by now!
Your rock faces have worked really well Charlie. I like the tunnel mouth set back into the rock too. If you have no more rock left stick an offcut of sundeala in the vice and break it off by hand. you get a nice "rock facey" edge and I used that for Hawse Cove near to Dawlish. Youve made a very attractive hillside that looks very realistic
Hi Charlie, Greetings from the USA!! I came across your video channel six or so months ago and have been watching ever since. You are always open with much information and I find some of your phrases so different from the way things are said here that I find you a very matter of fact person that I enjoy listening to.I have always enjoyed model railroading when I was younger and in this new era of social distancing I may have to give it another go!! Best wishes Charlie, stay safe. William Ahlers
Hi Charlie. Another great video for Friday afternoon entertainment 🤣 Looking great 👍🏻 Can’t believe it’s your 100th video 😄 Love your work T shirt lol 😆 Glue gun ouch it’s hot 🙄 Have a good weekend cheers Stevie 😎
Thank you for your reply Charlie it was something I had noticed on quite a few layouts it was just my way of trying to be helpful all the best keep up the good work always watching and enjoying!
The fence really makes the whole scene! Charlie, you have such a 'go for it' attitude, and that rubs on on folks. You're showing really good scenery can be done if your just start, and work with what you've got. Another excellent, hands on, presentation! Bravo! Looking forward to No. 100!
Not need to apologise just because a minority have a bee in their bonnet. I do the very same. I pick up the worst bits but the dust gets left. If anyone has a problem with that come and see me face to face. Keep up the good work Charlie good to see the layout evolving 👍🏻
Hi Charlie, A great transformation from a white snow covered hill to fields with bushes, trees and fencing. There is plenty of choice now for doing the scenic side on layouts, I remember the days of coloured wood chippings. Looking forward to number 100. Regards, David.
Significant progress in this episode! It's really encouraging to see how your landscape is coming along. In particular, I like how the different regions have slightly different types of grass. It's subtle but I think the different vegetation in different fields and altitudes adds realism. Instead of trying to hide the join, you show how easy it is to enhance the presentation with a linear feature such as a fence or hedge. I'm looking forward to your next video; it's always a pleasure.
Like most people I had assumed you were joking about leaving the off cuts and dust to head off down wind but some people do take a literal approach! I always enjoy watching the countryside scenics taking shape as my layout is all industry and dockside - though plant life does creep in. I think my OO9 layout is going to be completely rural so I can have a go at this green stuff! Cheers.
Another cracking film, Charlie. Thanks. Really enjoyed the bit about locating the tunnel mouth - I’ve been looking at one of mine this week- something wasn’t right and couldn’t figure out what it was ... you’ve solved it for me. Stay safe when the shops re-open next week.
Thanks for another great video Charlie, don't forget gates to fields / farm yards that are off scene. When that hill goes into the industrial area you probably wouldn't want farmers and animals going past to get to the fields. Looking forward to video 100. Mark
Another great update,when i was furloughed off work i watched all your videos from the very beginning,had a few late nights but much more enjoyable than the rubbish on TV,hope we see a Western in episode 100,all the best 👍
There’s always someone quick to pull you up on the smallest remark or mistake, I of course refer to you not cleaning your mess outside - I watched your video (I watch them all) and took your remark as a bit of lighthearted banter, I make these kind of remarks to my wife all the time, she normally tells me to clean up properly or I’ll find myself in a bin bag lol, the point I’m making is please don’t let remarks like that to ever effect your videos, because for me I find them excellent - thank you 👍
Hi Charlie. Thanks for another great video on scenic's. I have finally made a start on my layout. One side of the loft has its boards in place all 16 foot by 3 foot fiddle yard boards completed. Next is the scenic sections. In the next few weeks I hope to have them up and in place. Then the fun really begins track laying and scenic's. Actually ran first trains last week once fiddle yard boards in place. Loosly laid Flexi and the sound locos out in force. Gives me the spirit to carry on.
Hi Charlie, I acted on a suggestion of yours and bought a mixed set of Wago 221 connectors. You've just become my favourite model railway channel! What gems those little devices are. Thanks so much.
Hi Charlie for plaster or Sculptamold substitute use Easyfill British Gypsum product, Dries hard, easily sanded and great for rock making in kitchen foil, around a tenner for a big bag, used normally in dry lining, you won’t look back. Great vid as usual, love the eye brows raised to the heavens , keep up the good work
Hi. I love this channel. As a beginner it has helped no end. Great ideas, and good to see the process of making things just finishing track laying, then ballasting etc. I'm looking forward to making the tunnel beneath Hill side. This video has helped. Keep up the good work in showing all the minor details in model making. Thanks.
Coming along nicely Charlie. One thing to consider (if you have not already of course) is that where the land meets the railway it should have a fence, even where there is a hedge as its one of the oldest laws surrounding the railways of the UK compared with other countries. Of course the field fences need gates and a farm track if you have not already thought about that. Look forward to catching up on your other videos.
Hi Charlie, just watched this video again [which I always do] and I must say scenery transforms toy train layouts to a realistic model railway, it brings it to life. This is an area where I get a lot of satisfaction with my own layout. To see a train momentarily disappear through a cutting and reappear give realism to a layout. As you said the application of scenery is only limited by your own imagination. Really looking forward to episode 100. Cheers Greg
Yea... Reminds me of the time when I was somewhere between like 4-6y/o and I received a train set from my Grandfather ( Fathers side ) who was a great Train afficionado also living near a Trainyard. During a time when everyone was busy, I went ahead and started setting up the train myself ( no kidding... I was strangely gifted with this kind of stuff even at that age ) but highly unsatisfied with the lack of a track bed / scenery so I went ahead and grabbed a cleaning agent in powder form from the washing kitchen and started sprinkling it all over the tracks so it would mimic the, back then, winter season here in Switzerland. Needless to say the train set didn't even survive 24h that day - Thanks Gramps, it was the thought that counts 😶
As part of the Q&a for next week I'm interested in how I would go about painting my nose, I think I've just about painted everything else of my extremities but never my nose. Fabulous video again Charlie and you deserve every one of your subscribers. Frank
Very nice Charlie. I go along with most of it but the one thing I do is to spray all the scenery with firm hold non scented hair spray. I do this at this stage and once a year just to hold everything firm. Worked wonders during showing at exhibitions. Stay safe Cheers, Bob
Another cracking video. You should be sponsored by Amazon. Every video, another order. 😊 woodland scenics this week. Thanks Charlie, you are a real inspiration.
Hi Charlie - great video and just shows what you can do with a few different scatters,bushes etc. Entertaining as always - loved the green nose. Take care. Cheers Euan
Another "go to" reference video - Thank you Charlie. Friday afternoon is always much better after my regular fix of "Chadwick" Looking forward to the 100th. Thanks again.
Thanks, Charlie, another top episode. I especially like how you reassessed the tunnel portal once you were in the thick of it, so that it was more realistic. Similarly, for the remains of the hill in front of the junction, you have a great profile for the hill so that the tracks off the viaduct can go into a gradual cutting, as is more typical of the non-mountainous regions. Take care, see you in the shops, and looking forward to seeing you next week. Regards, Tom
Really looks good Charlie, great job. One thing about rocks... I saw a video by The Terrain Tutor and he does loads of tutorials on shaping rocks out of foam and then painting them up using dry brush techniques and ordinary cheap tester pot paint. I've sculpted a few now and painted them up. They look pretty realistic and very satisfying job to do! Fit good on any model railway set up or wargaming table
not only do u do good work but u make it fun as u do it love your show your wife will be happy that u are not making a mess of your good t shirts she may even give u lunch graham
Ding: Charlie! Where's my large sieve? That hill is coming along very nicely. For a moment there, I thought you were going to say that it was your 100th birthday coming up. You're looking damn good for your age - way to go!
Hope you managed to get your paint today? I was passing a hobbycraft after the school run (as I’m furloughed) so decided to pop in and pick up a litre of brown ready mixed too! Glad you mentioned the picking up of foam debris, really decent of you to put your hand up, we are all human after all😎
26:24 - "Without this turning into a Woodland Scenics campaign..." - I think that's somewhat shutting the Woodland Scenics gate after the Woodland Scenics horse has bolted - but a great result none the less! :)
Scenic looking great. I use polyfilla from wilko. I have done all my scenic areas on balton town. Just 10% P v a glue to stop it cracking. Need to be creamy to work with. Would be a good idea for your rock faces. Happy modeling Charlie
Agree with Dave, always entertaining, you talk like you are telling your neighbor or friends. By the way the person that complained about how you disposed of the styrofoam ask them where they think the stuff you vacuum ends up? They throw comments out like that making you feel bad. Good informative video.
Simply superb. Having returned to the hobby 3 years ago after a 30 year break, I can only say how incredible and inspiring your videos are. My family and I thoroughly enjoy your videos; even the non-railway modellers in the house. Your humour is well placed and unique and it really adds to the wonder of your videos. Charlie, you have incredible talent and as a hyper busy professional working incredibly long hours, I look forward with anticipation to your videos to switch of and inspire me, in order that I can drag myself into the garage and continue my own layout. We enjoy hearing your anecdotes and stories. We had great fun making vast qualities of your hand wash (certainly the kids did) and it helped me to keep my schools running for key worker families when supplies were impossible to find. In summary, cheers Charlie. You are more inspirational than you probably think, and certainly more talented than you give yourself credit for. All the best. Andy.
Charlie, I dropped out for a while with one thing or another going on around me. I am now trying to catch up with Graham, Sam and yourself. I just wanted to say a nice piece of modelling from you and a great tutorial on how you did it. I appreciate the hours of time you put into making these for your channel for us to watch as Chadwick expands and developes over the weeks and months. Thanks again my friend for your efforts in producing these videos. John.
So scrounge offcuts of insulation board from local building sites and save on LANDFILL, only to turn it into OO scale LANDFILL or whatever scale people are working in. Another great video can't wait for the next.
Another great video. In the proses of making a cutting so picked up some great ideas. Keep the videos coming there so easy to watch and I alway learn something new. Stay safe.
Well done Charlie, another wonderful informative video. You are inspiring and I like your humourous personality. Looking forward to next weeks no. 100. Take care until then and thank you for the entertainment and education, Pete.
Nice work again Charlie. I think we all look forward to the scenic side of our layouts and when we get there, do it, then stand back taking a look.... we all have that little smile and feeling of self achieving. You had that I am sure as it looks amazing as it always will from Chadwick..cheers, Chris
I am new to model railways, starting on my small model railway (about 3m x 2m in area) over the weekend. This was by far one of the most enjoyable informative videos I have seen, in regards to model railways. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it.
You've done a fantastic job on the landscape 👍 congratulations on recahing your 100th episode! 🎉 for your 100th episode, I feel I speak for many when I say, could you give some RUclips tips for us starting out or who are realtivley new to making videos. Also, it would be great if you gave some tips on getting your channel out there, many channels have good videos however cannot seem to get them to a larger audience. 😀
Very informative, and i can now see another use for all my stored coffee jars. They just seem to solid and potentially useful to throw away. So using them to store scatter will use a up a couple. Good tip on collecting foam insulation from skips.i have done this for a while, as often there are good size off cuts from large panels. Look out for houses having loft extensions. They seem to go through tons of the stuff, with decent off cuts from the insulating of joists. I have even collected off cuts of pvc down pipes to use as tunnel liners. In some ways using material that would otherwise go to landfill is another upside of the hobby.
Well said ! I managed to get 2 slabs from local building site as you said! Can I add if you are using a poly filla type stuff on models, it pays to mix in some of required paint too as if damaged it is not noticed!
Charlie, another great installment. Really made me chuckle seeing the green marker pen on your nose. Looking forward to the next installment and looking forward to seeing the Rocket in the future 😉. Keep up the good work and thank you for keeping entertained with your great channel👍
Hi Tim, the decoder which you enclosed was the wrong one. And I’ve only just taken delivery of the correct one. I needed the Hornby six pin with harness. And yes you will see it on Friday’s video. Stay safe mate, regards Charlie.
@@ChadwickModelRailway Really sorry about that Charlie I thought I had included the right one, only when you first mentioned it did I come to realise I had used the right one in another loco.
This is one of your best episode.... You help me a lot with work on my layout during this 2019 - 2020 isolation year.... Thumb up and i wish you 99+ more episode.....
As always another great video, Charlie!
I always look on at your layout in awe, I stated last week that I would magpie some of your techniques and I'm going to say it again. The techniques you use are incredible and I will be 'magping'. I can't wait for your special 100th video special.
Owen 😊
Thanks Owen, you’re too kind.

Thanks Allan and good luck with yours.

Too true Nigel
Ive watched several videos so far and i think a shout out to the Mrs is due. To date i recall you absconding with the dear womans hand mirror, talc, kitchen blow torch, and panty hose. Now i suspect the poor lady is without a sieve. Very enjoyable Mr Bishop! Thank you so much,
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my kitchen tips!

Thanks for such a heartwarming comment Nick. Regards Charlie
Well after watching this, I finally pulled the "trigger" and got a hot glue gun... What fun they are, so much more definite than using PVA!!. So underrated!

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world, thanks Charlie for cementing a bit of normality into our week!
You're too kind ZT.
Thanks Charlie. I've just got out of Yeovil Hospital after a nasty heart attack. Your cheerful face and interesting content is just the ticket.
Oh dear. I'll be in Hobby Craft in Yeovil on Thursday. Don't buy all the stuff J.

An interesting observation Norman, thank you.
Never thought of using the hot glu gun for sticking clump scenery down, thanks Charlie
It was the first time that I had tried it too!
No model railway here, but I do love to watch your channel and see how things unfold... THANKS
Glad to hear it Shaun.

Fantastic, it looking pretty good, nice looking hill. thanks for sharing.

One thing to consider (if you have not already of course) is that where the land meets the railway it should have a fence, even where there is a hedge as its one of the oldest laws surrounding the railways of the UK compared with other countries. Of course the field fences need gates and a farm track if you have not already thought about that.

I was strangely gifted with this kind of stuff even at that age ) but highly unsatisfied with the lack of a track bed / scenery so I went ahead and grabbed a cleaning agent in powder form from the washing kitchen and started sprinkling it all over the tracks so it would mimic the, back then, winter season here in Switzerland. Needless to say the train set didn't even survive 24h that day - Thanks Gramps, it was the thought that counts 😶
What a heartwarming comment and thanks for sharing,
A real inspiration to everyone. thank you. I really enjoy these videos and am learning lots as anovice to all this.
I’m so pleased that you find the channel interesting Phil.
Great episode yet again and I like others look forward to your next episode.
I’m sure this coming episode will be a belter.

Hope so Terry.

Hi Charlie
Help
You mention some rather nice but expensive wire strippers a few weeks ago and I can’t find the link.
Terry
As part of the Q&a for next week I'm interested in how I would go about painting my nose, I think I've just about painted everything else of my extremities but never my nose. Fabulous video again Charlie and you deserve every one of your subscribers. Frank
Frank, you’re far too kind.
Very nice Charlie. I go along with most of it but the one thing I do is to spray all the scenery with firm hold non scented hair spray. I do this at this stage and once a year just to hold everything firm. Worked wonders during showing at exhibitions.
Stay safe
Cheers, Bob
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video trainmanbob. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Thank you for your entertainment & info you bring to us with your uploads Charlie, hopefully many more to come in the future, cheers Paul.
Thanks Paul, you’re too kind.
Fantastic video Charlie. Looking forward to the next one
Sean
Thanks Sean, you’re too kind.
Another cracking video. You should be sponsored by Amazon. Every video, another order. 😊 woodland scenics this week. Thanks Charlie, you are a real inspiration.
Wow, thank you Tony.
Very informative and entertaining, as always. Thank you Charlie.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Chris.
Hi Charlie - great video and just shows what you can do with a few different scatters,bushes etc. Entertaining as always - loved the green nose. Take care. Cheers Euan
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Euan.
Another "go to" reference video - Thank you Charlie. Friday afternoon is always much better after my regular fix of "Chadwick" Looking forward to the 100th. Thanks again.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video John. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Спасибо Вам.
Интересно.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it VL. Regards, Charlie
Thanks, Charlie, another top episode.
I especially like how you reassessed the tunnel portal once you were in the thick of it, so that it was more realistic. Similarly, for the remains of the hill in front of the junction, you have a great profile for the hill so that the tracks off the viaduct can go into a gradual cutting, as is more typical of the non-mountainous regions.
Take care, see you in the shops, and looking forward to seeing you next week.
Regards, Tom
Thanks Tom, I look forward to seeing you in the model shops.
Really looks good Charlie, great job. One thing about rocks...
I saw a video by The Terrain Tutor and he does loads of tutorials on shaping rocks out of foam and then painting them up using dry brush techniques and ordinary cheap tester pot paint. I've sculpted a few now and painted them up. They look pretty realistic and very satisfying job to do! Fit good on any model railway set up or wargaming table
Yes, he is a gifted modeller.
not only do u do good work but u make it fun as u do it love your show your wife will be happy that u are not making a mess of your good t shirts she may even give u lunch graham
Graham, I live in hope.
Great progress Charlie
Looks great
Thanks Nick
Ding: Charlie! Where's my large sieve? That hill is coming along very nicely. For a moment there, I thought you were going to say that it was your 100th birthday coming up. You're looking damn good for your age - way to go!
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video Paul. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Looking really really good......Captures a nice feeling!
Thanks WXYZ, you’re too kind
Hope you managed to get your paint today? I was passing a hobbycraft after the school run (as I’m furloughed) so decided to pop in and pick up a litre of brown ready mixed too! Glad you mentioned the picking up of foam debris, really decent of you to put your hand up, we are all human after all😎
Hi LS, no my shopping trip will be on Thursday. Hopefully, Hobbycraft will not have been cleaned out!
26:24 - "Without this turning into a Woodland Scenics campaign..." - I think that's somewhat shutting the Woodland Scenics gate after the Woodland Scenics horse has bolted - but a great result none the less! :)
A fair point Ben!
That is very good Charlie, informative & full of great advice. Thanks
Thanks Richard
Great job with the fields Charlie.
Thanks David.
Scenic looking great. I use polyfilla from wilko. I have done all my scenic areas on balton town. Just 10% P v a glue to stop it cracking. Need to be creamy to work with. Would be a good idea for your rock faces. Happy modeling Charlie
Great tip Ian, thanks.
Nice video and nice to see some great progress on the layout.
Glad you enjoyed it KMH.
Agree with Dave, always entertaining, you talk like you are telling your neighbor or friends. By the way the person that complained about how you disposed of the styrofoam ask them where they think the stuff you vacuum ends up? They throw comments out like that making you feel bad. Good informative video.
An interesting point Ken.
Simply superb. Having returned to the hobby 3 years ago after a 30 year break, I can only say how incredible and inspiring your videos are. My family and I thoroughly enjoy your videos; even the non-railway modellers in the house. Your humour is well placed and unique and it really adds to the wonder of your videos. Charlie, you have incredible talent and as a hyper busy professional working incredibly long hours, I look forward with anticipation to your videos to switch of and inspire me, in order that I can drag myself into the garage and continue my own layout. We enjoy hearing your anecdotes and stories. We had great fun making vast qualities of your hand wash (certainly the kids did) and it helped me to keep my schools running for key worker families when supplies were impossible to find. In summary, cheers Charlie. You are more inspirational than you probably think, and certainly more talented than you give yourself credit for. All the best. Andy.
What a heart warming comment Andy. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Enjoyable video, nice to see the layout evolve naturally allowing changes where required
That’s very kind of you to say so. Regards Charlie
Charlie, I dropped out for a while with one thing or another going on around me. I am now trying to catch up with Graham, Sam and yourself. I just wanted to say a nice piece of modelling from you and a great tutorial on how you did it. I appreciate the hours of time you put into making these for your channel for us to watch as Chadwick expands and developes over the weeks and months. Thanks again my friend for your efforts in producing these videos. John.
What a heartwarming comment John. I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel. Regards Charlie.
So scrounge offcuts of insulation board from local building sites and save on LANDFILL, only to turn it into OO scale LANDFILL or whatever scale people are working in. Another great video can't wait for the next.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video Steve Bryce-Grant. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Another great video. In the proses of making a cutting so picked up some great ideas. Keep the videos coming there so easy to watch and I alway learn something new. Stay safe.
Thanks Tony. And you stay safe too.
Another little gem, thanks Charlie. I watch with much interest as I’m new to the hobby, being a convert from radio controlled RN model warships.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video gary. Stay safe, regards Charlie
Thanks for sharing your layout building with us!
Thanks for watching too
Well done Charlie, another wonderful informative video. You are inspiring and I like your humourous personality. Looking forward to next weeks no. 100. Take care until then and thank you for the entertainment and education, Pete.
Thanks Pete, you’re too kind.
Great update Charlie.Matt from Australia
Thanks Matt, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Nice work again Charlie. I think we all look forward to the scenic side of our layouts and when we get there, do it, then stand back taking a look.... we all have that little smile and feeling of self achieving. You had that I am sure as it looks amazing as it always will from Chadwick..cheers, Chris
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video Chris during these stressful times. Stay safe, regards Charlie
I am new to model railways, starting on my small model railway (about 3m x 2m in area) over the weekend. This was by far one of the most enjoyable informative videos I have seen, in regards to model railways. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it BW and hopefully you’ve subscribed too.
You've done a fantastic job on the landscape 👍 congratulations on recahing your 100th episode! 🎉 for your 100th episode, I feel I speak for many when I say, could you give some RUclips tips for us starting out or who are realtivley new to making videos. Also, it would be great if you gave some tips on getting your channel out there, many channels have good videos however cannot seem to get them to a larger audience. 😀
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video McMetro.
I will certainly talk about YT channels.
Stay safe, regards Charlie
I watch your videos all the time and as a newcomer to train hobby, I learn a lot. keep going, great teaching
Thanks Eytan, you’re too kind mate.
always entertaining and informative , congrats on 100 episodes ....
Much appreciated Craig
Big of you to apologize. So many lack that ability. Well done Sir. Looking forward to video #100. The hill turned out nice.
Thanks 👍 MSR. Regards Charlie
I found that very interesting. Well done Charlie
Glad you enjoyed it Clive.
Very informative, and i can now see another use for all my stored coffee jars. They just seem to solid and potentially useful to throw away. So using them to store scatter will use a up a couple. Good tip on collecting foam insulation from skips.i have done this for a while, as often there are good size off cuts from large panels. Look out for houses having loft extensions. They seem to go through tons of the stuff, with decent off cuts from the insulating of joists. I have even collected off cuts of pvc down pipes to use as tunnel liners. In some ways using material that would otherwise go to landfill is another upside of the hobby.
Great tips Andrew, many thanks.
Well said ! I managed to get 2 slabs from local building site as you said! Can I add if you are using a poly filla type stuff on models, it pays to mix in some of required paint too as if damaged it is not noticed!
Fairpoint Andrew, Well said. Regards, Charlie
Great topic Charlie. Scenery is one of the things I wasn`t looking forward to, but you make it look so easy. Nice one.
Just take small steps Paul.
Great update, I'm in the middle of building a very similar "tunnel mouth in a rock face", so this came at just the right moment. This looks superb.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Charlie, another great installment. Really made me chuckle seeing the green marker pen on your nose.
Looking forward to the next installment and looking forward to seeing the Rocket in the future 😉.
Keep up the good work and thank you for keeping entertained with your great channel👍
Hi Tim, the decoder which you enclosed was the wrong one. And I’ve only just taken delivery of the correct one. I needed the Hornby six pin with harness. And yes you will see it on Friday’s video.
Stay safe mate, regards Charlie.
@@ChadwickModelRailway Really sorry about that Charlie I thought I had included the right one, only when you first mentioned it did I come to realise I had used the right one in another loco.
looking good charlie i prefer doing the scenic s more than running trains lol stay safe mate,
Thanks Trev.
The grass, hedges and bushes give the model depth. I still think that a Tor would look good at the top of the hill.
Do you mean a chapel?
A Tor, such as Glastonbury Tor, is a hill. Regards Charlie
@ChadwickModelRailway I thought the Tor was the tower at the top of Glastonbury Tor. I've learned something today :)
@ no, the thing at the top is Saint Michael’s chapel. Regards, Charlie.
@ChadwickModelRailway diolch.
This is one of your best episode.... You help me a lot with work on my layout during this 2019 - 2020 isolation year.... Thumb up and i wish you 99+ more episode.....
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video Tihomir Horvat. Stay safe, regards Charlie
That’s one of the best hills I’ve seen
And me, best one on youtube
You're too kind Vince
@@ChadwickModelRailway Pure skill mate some have it some dont, im the latter lol
