  • Joining up the tracks was a long awaited milestone at Chadwick Model Railway. The Big track link up is here at last but just how difficult was it, in this last leg of building the connection of a model railway.

    Hi Charlie, fantastic video as usual. To make your life easier, when you cut your baseboards, clamp a batton (straight piece of wood) on so you can keep your circular saw held against it as you saw, you then don’t have to concentrate on keeping a straight line, the wood guides your saw for you. Just get the offset correct. You can then make the cut a bit quicker. It’s all looking rather good though. Such fun to watch

    Charlie, I enjoy your narrative and all of your tips, my own O gauge layout has been idle for some 3 years because it is in our house in the USA and since Covid we have been in France. So Chadwick has kept me entertained, in France I have been busy with house renovations and that digital level that you use caught my eye - I use it all the time and it is great. So thanks for the tip. Best DR

    Like yourself I use Anyrail, I designed the boards as well as the track, I printed out the boards to scale, I purchased ordinary 12 mm ply, marked it all out after jiggling around to give me minimum waste, and cut them out with a jig saw. I had 22 pieces of different shaped boards and when I came to put them together I found an 0.5 mm thickness variance and the boards had warped. I had to purchase 2 off 8 ft X 4 ft Marine ply boards and start all over again. So just be aware of what you buy. Another word of warning, Back in the late 80s I used Peco foam underlay which was developed to match the track and everything was fine for about 25 years, After which I found that the foam had turned to tar and the track dropped allowing the track pins to contact the rolling stock. I had to lift the whole 250 ft of track with the 48 points, and start all over again. I now use 4 mm cork. And I redesigned the layout.

    Dear Charlie, not to discount your trial and error experience, but your AnyRail drawing also gives you a template, on which you could have measured the connecting board to the approximate widths, length and possible points for the M8 threads.
    Humbly think the connecting board to the helix will interfere with the further construction of board 22 and the intricate track plan, you’ve planned for covering the east-end helix.
