    Once again great video also great paint job by TMC will have to contact them regards my hoppers. Did Mrs Bishop not know you were filming before getting the mower out 😁. With this hobby there is always somthing new to learn. One thought I had during the 1970-80s Hornby did adverts with Bernard Gribbings I think his name was with your expert knolw how maybe you could do a video were Charlie shrinks down and ends up on the layout. You have had your orders its starting to rain so maybe time to get the washing in. Fantasic update once again.

      ​@@ChadwickModelRailwayHi I have been watching and researching bout Track cleaning. I've learned one additional step you may want to consider. The black residue is carbon produce from micro sparks of electric chatges transferred between active wheels and the Track. If after you use the track brush, you would apply a thin layer of Oxgard, supposedly you will not have to clean as often or longer.

Like the way you use your Dremel; they do a very nice stand that has a tool holder and also has the means to hold the tool both vertically and horizontally to use it as a drill press or a bench grinder, leaving a free hand to deal to a bacon sandwich!

    Hi Charlie, great spring update lots of terrain covered.
    Had a break from RUclips these last few weeks as unfortunately my father passed away so its been a very busy and difficult time for us. I have him to thank for my interest in many things especially model railways. He had a lovely send off together with pictures of the first engine in steam at Butlins Filey station (its where my parents met!!). I don't know how we managed it but as we drove to the cemetery we passed the local station just as a train passed through as if to pay him their respects!!
    I'll catch up with the goods yard development soon, that part has been a very special development for Chadwick and your channel.
    Now here's a thought, I wonder how many modelu Charlies you could sell to your viewers🤔🤔😉😉.

    My son and I dabble in both N and OO. The former analogue with OO DCC. So we have the best of both worlds. Although N spoils us for full length realistic trains. Even though the OO has taken over the garage, all perimeter walls, anything more than a loco and four or five looks a bit daft. (We are firmly SR particularly NSE era, so art deco buildings are a must.....)

    The pool ball idea is brilliant. Regarding the problem with the helix, is it worth putting the ball at the top (or anywhere on the helix) let gravity do it's job and watch the ball closely as it descends. It might just show up an irregularity in the track. There again you might think I'm a nutter. Anyway Charlie, thanks again for another interesting video. David Parkin

    Dear Charlie, great video! Love the way you explained the uncoupling sequence, very informative. Absolutely brilliant how your full body scan looks on the screen, really am impressed and looking forward to seeing the 1:76 Charles take his seat in one of your locos.
    On the subject of the vertical curves on the helix you announced you’ll need to attend to; it’s very interesting that you showed the amount of possible movement in the middle of a ‘bridge section’ on the helix. Even though your helix roadbed consists of a laminated 2 layers of plywood, the span of each section may still be prone to the ‘sag’ effect you mentioned. Of course the extra vertical braces you showed may be a good option. Nevertheless, I’ve been wondering if a lateral vertical brace along the roadbed’s edges might be helpful. Let’s say as the plates of a plate girder bridge. This will significantly stiffen the roadbed and prevent the kind of sagging you were talking about. Also, it will provide better access to the helix tracks for future rail cleaning chores. With the existing threaded rod support system, you’ve got some excellent ‘bridge piers’ to mount such ‘plates.’
    On entering the helix, which part of the vid was very delightful, considering you’re covering up the helix it might be sensible to create access from beneath. Can’t really remember now if the table the helix is mounted on allows for such a tweak, but I can imagine it will be useful to create such access right now, before you cover up the helix to permanently.
    Of course, these are just suggestions, no push, just attempting to think along the vertical curve, the pun there sincerely intended. Cheerio

    Thanks for the video Charlie. Sorry, I fast forwarded the details of programming the uncoupling. Absolutely essential if you operate DCC, but a little superfluous if you don't. About your weathering, how about using different weathering techniques, e.g. comparing air brushing compared with hand weathering and the use of weathering powders. Because you have 18, it means you could choose to use air brush on 3, spray paints with another 3, hand painting on a third set, and perhaps weathering powders. I just thought it might make an interesting video. I don't envy you sorting out the helix. There is nothing more frustrating than having one loco or even one coach de-railing at one point on a layout, especially if none of the others do it, and trying to find the cause. Thanks again Charlie.

    I like these videos Charlie, a variety of tips and advice - there’s a few things there of interest, starting with the track rubber. Like you, I do have a love/hate relationship with the Peco version for the same reasons as you do and particularly that it’s a bit of a double edged sword because the scratching action certainly cleans the rails but it also scratches them to bits as well ! So perhaps the DCC Concepts one is something to invest in next time a place an order.
    Airbrushing is something I’ve often thought about as I’d like to have that skill to do so many things. But I’ve always been put off by all the “faff” associated with preparation and cleaning up. I look forward to some videos on the subject and hope you can include all that is involved to help me decide whether to bite that proverbial bullet !
    And finally, I’m interested to see what you’ll be doing on the helix with those vertical pieces- I’m wondering if I need them as well. I’m very nearly ready to build mine.
    Right, it’s Friday evening, curry night for me ! Time to get my curry fix and a beer !

    Another to class video Charlie. As usual terrific advice including track cleaning and removal of different boarded areas. One thing that I might suggest and apologies as I'm sure you've already considered it, a loco drawn track cleaner in a wagon as you mention the helix will at some point be difficult to maintain once covered. Using a couple of small wagons pushed by a loco with mild cleaning pads underneath sounds simple but could prove a challenge in practice so floating articulated pads dropped between the axles from the small cleaner wagons would be needed. Now you may ask, why have the loco pushing the 'cleaners', well the loco would likely run better on cleaner track where pulling it might get stuck on the dirty track. Anyway enough of my ramblings. Another top job Charlie. I don't even have a layout plan yet but I'm learning so much from your videos but my layout ideas ae starting to gel.

    Yeah that sounds a very Richard thing to do. Such a nice fella 🙂 There were some excellent layouts on show at Birmingham, including some highly creative and quirky ones. Did you see the branchline set in the main square of a wee town in a corner of Provincial France with lots of fantastic scratch-built structures and rolling stock? There really some utter belters on show 😎
    Also managed to get a second-hand-only-taken-out-the-box-about-twice Bachmann Class 37 in green with split head codes boxes for 90 quid as well as a similarly good-as-new A2 Pacific for 95. Could not believe my luck! 👍🍻

    I've done a little airbrusing, would always like to learn more basic hints and tips. One thing I think could be good is to go over, how to do it cheap and also, how not to over do it. Seen a few second hand models where people have gone a bit OTT with the old paints which might be why they sell them off.

    Hi Charlie, great video as usual. One point I would like to bring up, is the suggestion that a block impregnated with aluminium oxide won't scratch the track is highly questionable. The abrasive surface of sandpaper and wet and dry is.... You guessed it, aluminium oxide. The coating on Tungsten Carbide metal cutting tools is..... You guessed again, aluminium oxide to give higher durability.
    I for one don't believe your block would be less detrimental to the surface of your track than a peco track cleaning rubber.

    Your comment about having a pool ball to test track for level struck a chord with me. I am an architect and still working at 75 but I still have a large marble in my desk which I take out on the odd survey that I do. My dad was also an architect and it is a trick that he taught me. Not sure that floor was level? Put the marble down and see what happens. Pool ball - marble, it's the same thing.
