Charlie - I don't model UK trains, but I subscribed and continue to watch all your release because you don't try to be like some of the other model railroad "Celebrities" that annoy with gimmicks and such. You present your topic and show the good with the bad. It's always refreshing when someone is willing to put that out there. I haven't been across the pond in almost 48 years, but one of my fondest memories is a night out with a group of RN ratings on a port visit to Southampton. If I ever get back, we'll have to hoist a pint :) Keep it going
What a marvellous comment mate. However, the first day is on me. Regards, Charlie
Thanks for the update. It's easy to get distracted in the train room! Coming back to the house without blood dripping is a bonus! My wife has all sorts of bandages at the ready!
Thanks Kingsview, I do hope that you follow my new strategy. Regards, Charlie
That pep talk is just what i needed! Cheers from Christchurch New Zealand.
Thanks Alan, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
Still kind of amazing that all that started as a couple of boards that fit in the back of a station wagon.
Yes, how our aspirations grow. Regards, Charlie
We all know you got in a fight at the pub with some hooligans! : ) I love the idea of the shorties, focusing on a single product or topic of your expertise. Also, labeling your points are so important, like you did there. Even on a smaller layout, one sometimes forgets which they are!
Thanks magnificus, I’m so pleased that you like the idea of the short videos.
As for the hooligans, they got what they deserved!
Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Yes Charlie, your loyal followers know your accident had nothing to do with the bathroom. It sounds far better to have gotten into a tussle at your local pub. Just kidding. Getting older sucks. Cheers and b careful. The shorts sound good. Topic I am interested in is: Why Digitraks vs NEC. It is a major investment of money and time.
I have been sidetracked since 1975 when I purchased my 1st OO used hand built Steam Engine. I built a simple Shelf switching layout and spent hours enjoying various shunting combinations for 2 years. Then was posted in Germany and started collecting Marklin trains.
When returned to the United States I was assigned duty as a System Engineer Officer (USAF). Left active duty and became a Systems Engineering Consultant. Finally retired and became a member of Tennessee Central Railway Museum in Nashville which had HO & N scale layouts. Became a Car Host for excursion trips. Then discovered Ttrak modules , built several joining others at model train shows building layouts each show was a uniquely designed layout. Finally I discovered the Tennessee Valley Railroaders club & became a member. The club has HO & N Scale layouts has moved locations several times and is currently in a historic Town Bell Buckle, 50 miles SE of Nashville. We recently added an O Gauge layout. Sorry no TH-cam videos yet. ( maybe coming soon)
Great info, on your model railroad journey Steve. Happy modelling, regards Charlie
Ten minute video suggestion.
An investigation into the best tea and the best biscuit to enjoy whilst watching one's trains pootle around one's layout from a reasonably comfy chair. What do you think? 😉
Perhaps I should extend it to the type of chair as well! Regards, Charlie
That dent on your crown could not perhaps be as a result of one too many locomotives purchased and your misses discovered the unopened courier package in your cub-board. Just jokes, love your channel, always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks JSS, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the channel. Regards, Charlie
Love your sense of humor Charlie. You made my day!
Thanks Donald, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Found some more stuff I not watched on Chadwick so enjoy that today.
Thanks mate, I do hope that you enjoy it. Regards, Charlie
You are indeed an artist with track laying and electrical connections.....
Thanks David, but it’s all down to practice. Rest assured I’ve made my own mistakes. Regards Charlie
Well Charlie, I’ve “Binge watched” through all your model railway output and can only confirm how good you are at producing such a fantastic, well produced/edited and amusing set of programs. The award you received, which you modestly attested to others, was well deserved. I am still unable to get going on a layout of my own but I will remain a Charlie Bishop “Groupie”!
That’s most kind Philip, can you not buy a small layout and develop it to your liking?
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Sir, thank you for your concern but a further waiting game is a must!
I had to subscribe, you are the only model railroader who talks about mojo and quickies. I’ll be watching some older videos until your next post.
Thanks Jack, it’s great to have you on board mate. Regards, Charlie
Thanks, Charlie, for all your thoughtful, informative videos!
Thanks EJ, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
I've said it before, but you are the only youtuber I know of who seems to be able to get the finger pointing to the icons at the end of the video in time and in the right direction. I don't know why, but that really pleases me. Also good model railwaying. Yes.
I find it reassuring to (Jack). Regards, Charlie.
Some people crave praise, some people deserve praise, you sir deserve a medal, brilliant video! right two subjects, 1, fitting Kadee couplings.... especially to a heljan class 17 so that they line up with rolling stock...2, modifying peco electro frog points, ie losing all the fluff where peco provide fittings for their point motors, give me another couple of minutes and I'll think of another two! love the shows, love your track plan, and yes, you should be proud! cheers sir and thank you.
That’s very kind of you to say to Vic. Regards, Charlie
YES! 10 min wish of how to create a back and forth automatic locomotive. How do you get it to work, what needs to be done (outside Itrain and other PC controlled things, just DCC controlled) That would be awsome as you somewhat have a great way to explain things in an easy way. Looked in to so many diffrent vids, and not one single one can explain whats needed, hot to make it work of it´s own outside any PC controlled enviroment. Just want a shuttle traffick back and forth one track between to stations usinf Z21 Rocco and wlan mause. ( or digitrax )
Okay LY, DCC shuttles are on the list.
Regards Charlie
I enjoyed the train ride around the layout, a great layout that I enjoy watching progress on, look forward to the next update.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
I love watching all you videos and I have learned something from all of them. You can count on me to watch any video you put out.
That’s very loyal of you, Kyle, and much appreciated. Regards, Charlie
Well done Charlie. Like the military style telling off at the end.
You’re right John, sometimes I just need to pull myself together. Regards, Charlie
Ok, Charlie; I feel properly admonished. I, too, am guilty of sitting here at the computer and squandering my precious modeling time watching things that have nothing to do with progress on my layout. So, I accept your challenge for 2023! I'll set some goals, and let you know how I get along. I do, however, have to make time for Chadwick Model Railway ever other week; right? Thanks for the kick in the pants, Charlie! I'll owe you one at the end of the year!
Good luck, Pat, we all need to set realistic and achievable goals. Regards, Charlie
Great video Charlie,, you stay "focused",, great to see TMD coming along
Thanks Gerry, stay safe, regards, Charlie
Nice tour round the layout Charlie very impressive cheers Al
Thanks Al, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Awesome update as usual Charlie!!! Many thanks for sharing! Cheers Onno.
I’m so pleased that you found it interesting Onno. Regards Charlie
Sunday morning. Utopia. A steaming hot coffee and more Chadwick. All very interesting as always Charlie. Totally agree with your thoughts Charlie, but my layout is in a very large unheated shed so my main factor is the weather for the day. Thankfully I have a model room. I like the idea of the 10 minute videos but of course you could perhaps do a monthly video of several 10s together?
I once owned a layout in N built by the late Andy Calvert. It introduced many a brave modeller to a hernia or two. I swear it was hollowed out of tree stumps!!
Keep up the good work. Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel mate. Regards, Charlie
Great to see the TMD taking real definition, and thanks for the supportive comments in getting me back into the hobby-albeit in n gauge. I continue to learn and gain a bit of confidence ready for when I take the inaugural plunge in a few months time.
That’s great news that you’re coming back David. Now is the time to plan. Regards Charlie
Ah Charlie, this is just the tonic that I needed after this week. Thanks for taking the time to continue to inspire and motivate. I have crossed to the dark side and modelling in 'N' but your videos are full of transferable information and handy hints, so I'll follow with interest any ideas aired for the 'specials'.👍🏻
That very kind of you to say so H66.
Regards Charlie
@Jack Warner This is true, but I’m well acquainted with microscope work 😂 What I do like, however, is the amount that can be achieved in the same space compared to OO. I made the mistake of visiting the Kato store to get models for a friend during a trip Tokyo and seeing how far N had come in detail, I was hooked.
Love this layout and the helix. We use those Wago 221 series connectors all the time in commercial electrical installations, but in conjunction with a enclosure to comply with Bs7671. Have never seen them used wth a bootlace ferrule before, but makes perfect sense with a multi strand cable.
Thanks Paul, those some electricians have mentioned that the stranded cable would be better. Regards, Charlie
Layout is coming along nicely!
Thanks Jade, I’m so pleased that you find it interesting. Regards Charlie
Great progress Charlie!
Looking forward to seeing the TMD build going forward.
Best wishes from Wirral!
Thanks Darren, I’m so pleased that you find my channel interesting. Regards Charlie
Wow Charlie you are very tidy and organised.
If you were a model railway safety inspector and looked under my baseboards you would condem and shut down my layout for sure..
Great information and video.
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃jim
Thanks Jim, but, it’s only one wire at a time mate. Regards, Charlie
LOL. Distractions on TH-cam! I can't say "I've been there, done that," because I still do it... A lot! Thank you Charlie for your down-to-earth videos that continue to inspire me.👍
Thanks Dennis, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the channel mate. Regards, Charlie
I plan on rebuilding my railroad in March 2023. Your advice is noted. Sections will be the method of my build. Thank you!
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you found the video useful. Regards Charlie
You are such an inspiration, Charlie!
🤗 Thx alot! 👍
My pleasure Michael. Regards Charlie
That was cool.....thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it Marc. Regards Charlie
Another great video - truly inspiring - you have every right to feel proud! Many thanks for so generously sharing your layout and it’s journey with us all - best thing on Friday night TV!
That’s very kind of you to say so, BH. Regards, Charlie
Thank you once again for what always seems a masterclass. Please keep up the great work
Thank CC, you’re too kind. Regards Charlie
Great update/video again but take care mate! Excited to see new updates that would be out in the weeks to come!
Thanks AS. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Charlie I just wanted to say I learn from every video so for that thank you mate
That’s very kind of you to say so Steve. Regards, Charlie
Wow - this video has singlehandedly solved two massive problems I was having in planning my layout. I'm building in a cellar that has just a single narrow entrance. I thought with my original plan, I had optimised the space with a giant tail chaser - but I didn't like the idea of ducking under to get in or out. Your design of an end-to-end with a helix at each end that makes it into a tail-chaser is genius. :)
Hi Ron, I’m so pleased that you found the video useful. Regards Charlie
Great stuff Charlie. I am always impressed with your output and am very in awe of what you have achieved.
Thanks Phil, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Your landscaping really comes to life from train view! The vines hanging down the retaining wall are really effective!
I particularly spotted those as well. Charlie, do a ‘quickie’ on some small scale landscaping that makes a difference to a scene.
Excellent points gentleman, I shall add it to the list. Regards, Charlie
Entertaining as always Charlie! You are indeed a great advert for the hobby 😀.
That’s very kind of you to say so growler. Regards, Charlie
Thanks for the train view tour of the layout! Great to see the progress on the board and for all the mojo advice! Stay safe and move that towel rail! ;)
Sound advice, Gavin. I couldn’t believe it when I smacked my head, but then again, nor did my wife! Regards, Charlie
Some great advice ... thanks.
You’re most welcome Gene. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie, really enjoyed the video and what you are currently doing, also great to see the Engine Drivers view of your layout as a train travels along your track work. Cheers and congrats Greg
Thanks Greg, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
good up date on the channel nice track place you did nice see working on the layout nice test run on the new track good work keep up the good work on the channel thanks lee
Thanks Lee, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Quite brilliant, and your attention to detail to ensure reliable running is clearly worth the effort!
Thanks Kieth, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Regards, Charlie
Evening Charlie, lovely ride around the entire layout, it is always great to have the loop closed! The TMD is really getting along and well done on getting all the specific jobs done 🍾👍🏻, thank you for the tip. I work in the same manner, even though I have only done 4 videos and am still working on my wood work for the model railway.
As for the Chadwickie (I just christened that hashtag for you 🤣), perhaps you could show us a simple way to plan your fiddle yard in Traincontroller and/or how to place several trains behind one another in the fiddle yard. Have a great Sunday ahead and take care. Kind regards, Richard
A great suggestion, Richard. Many thanks, regards, Charlie
THANK YOU for wonderful videos, Frank Texas
Thanks Frank, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
looking good as always! nice job!
Thanks Mac, much appreciated. Regards, Charlie
thanks for another great video, I enjoy all of your content I think the way you explain and put things across is very good. I eagerly await your next video long or short
thanks
That’s very kind of you to say so, Peter. Regards, Charlie
I loved this most offering, Charlie. Best one for me, yet! I procrastinate and need encouragement and the inspiration from things like your 'on board' view of what you have achieved. Brilliant 👏
Thanks Michael, I’m so pleased that you found it inspirational. Regards Charlie
Charlie: Your videos are very well done and very interesting. You can see that you have made significant progress. Rail on!
Thanks Ken, I’m so pleased that you find the video interesting. Regards Charlie
Another great video, Charlie. Loved the drivers eye view. Keep up the good work 👍and also your mojo😄
Thanks Jeff, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed my little train ride.
Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie your wiring All way's looks amazing and even better good to see the train running around the layout thankyou for the tips and video 👏
I’m so pleased that you find the videos. useful, Mark. Regards, Charlie
Being a regular viewer from Canada I am often amused by your occasional use of British slang or expressions that I’ve not heard before.
I must admit that “stoofing” one’s head is a new one on me! Just the other day while watching another UK channel I found out that being “chuffed” is not a bad thing.
I love your videos and layout and am always impressed by your meticulous approach to things. Take care.
Frank.
Thanks Frank, and I’m so pleased that you enjoy the channel and it’s little language lessons! Regards, Charlie
Excellent video Charlie
Many thanks Mels. Regards Charlie
Greetings, Charlie! Just want you to know how much I enjoy your channel and your (2) week updates. I learn a lot about the hobby and really enjoy your wit and sense of humor. I love your format and wish you continued success in 2023.
What’s a heartwarming comment John. Stay safe mate, regards, Charlie
Fantastic drive through of your layout... it's coming in nicely Charlie!
Thanks David, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
Thank you for bringing Wago connectors to my attention! I’m customer starting my new layout, and they are a godsend!
That’s great news Steven I’m so pleased that you find them useful. Regards Charlie
Great update Charlie....it's really coming on..
Thanks Graham, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Congratulations on achieving a full circuit around your layout, Charlie! It was a fun ride. Also, your comments on maintaining focus were spot on. Lately I've been watching too many cute animals on TH-cam. I look forward to seeing all your videos, short or long. Cheers from Wisconsin!
Thanks Andrew, I’m so pleased that you have found your focus.
Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, being you are " folicly impaired as I am, wearing a little cap of sorts helps with the scalping effect, great progress, setting goals is very important, as you said distractions are something to be avoided, keep well and safe
Great advice, Jed, we must keep our skulls protected. Regards, Charlie
Great video and a brilliant layout Chas
Thanks John, you’re too kind mate. Regards, Charlie
The TMD is coming on very nicely! I think we've all been in that "fear zone"... If you didn't already have a hernia, trying to catch the falling board will certainly put your back out!
I haven't got a suggestion for your 10 min video shorts; except for a possible name for them? You could call them "Cheeky Charlies" 😁
An interesting name suggestion EM.
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Regarding hernia avoidance, would a handle in the middle of the board help support it against your hip, and liberate the other hand for manoeuvring?
I admire your courage and tenacity, Charlie, being able to carefully maneuver the wired board into place. The track arrangement looks very interesting. It is always a pleasure to watch your TH-cam Clips, and see the progress that you have made.
Thanks Alan, I’m so pleased that you find the channel enjoyable. Regards Charlie
Helix is a good idea for a lot of people that don’t have the room at home
My layout certainly wouldn’t work without them. Regards, Charlie
Beautiful work Charlie. Love the Cab ride.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it mate. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie, one of the most complex builds I’ve seen and the standard is incredible. Everything looks tested tested and tested again. Thanks so much for sharing this.
You’re most welcome ER. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Nice update Charlie!
Thanks, MF, regards, Charlie
Very Beautiful Setup Charlie!
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, yet another great video, I always learn something. Take care you don’t need to keep bumping your head
Thanks Barry, I shall try to be accident free! Regards, Charlie
Great video as always Charlie. I love your comment about being focussed. I have had a problem with running trains on my layout for some time, they tend to stop at random places. I decided to try feeding power to the far end of the layout, starting with choc blocks, then you introduced me to the Wago connectors. I ordered them straight away, then procrastination took hold and I took a while to decide to try the. I bit the bullet only yesterday, and I have to say that I am so grateful to you for that advice. They are truly wonderful. I have gained so much knowledge from you including, I have to say, how not to injure yourself! Hope all is well now. Thanks again for keeping us entertained whilst educating us. Roy.
What a heartwarming comment, Roy. I’m so pleased that you found the channel useful, regards, Charlie
A tutorial on using Anyrail to design a layout would be a good one.
Thanks for the video Charlie.
That’s an interesting subject matter Chris. Regards, Charlie
great fun Charlie. It's lovely to have a run round and see what you've done and I've watched. I'm back in Toulouse. what better on friday evening, a glass of nice red wine and Charlie at Chadwick. Happy '23.
Thanks Kevin and the same to you mate. Regards, Charlie
Another great video Charlie. I always enjoy your videos.
I’ve moved from 00 to live steam G1 now, but I still enjoy your videos. I did enjoy all of the DCC wiring and programming I must admit.
Thanks Hawker, fury that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Hey Charlie, been hooked on your channel for a few weeks now since me and my four year old started our first layout (it’s a glorified train set, on a board, but we are ballasting the track and having a go at some scenery,landscaping and weathering etc, main thing is it’s bringing us great joy!!). Fantastic content and you re so easy to watch!! Ps as a qualified electrician I can absolutely vouch for WAGO connectors in mains wiring, use them in domestic & industrial applications all the time, they are brilliant and regulation wise deemed a ‘maintenance free’ permanent connection much like a crimp. Keep up the good work!!!
It’s great to have both you and your child onboard mate. I do hope you find the channel interesting, regards, Charlie
Chadrick Quickies or Extras could be Informative, even for us people that are not in the UK. Maybe they could be on their own Playlist for easier identification. Some bits of past videos already quality.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Model Building Techniques!
Riding the Rails was FUN, Thanks for choosing that video method!
Great Content as Always!!
Thanks Robert, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
nice save with the board I truss your ok .layouts looking well and progress ride around the layout was great thank you
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the cab ride mate. Regards, Charlie
Thanks for a great video, Charlie. I have mad respect for your ability to create separate boards for your layout with drop panels for servicing electronics. Just brilliant. Wagos are certainly the future. Many TH-cam sparks are using them daily in their domestic work. Good fortunes to you in the new year.
Thanks Metrotech, that’s most kind of you. Regards, Charlie
Another great video. as all ways.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards Charlie
Fantastic! Looking great. Your channel has got me into the hobby and I’m getting the new Hornby TT 120. With HM7000 set up.
That’s great news Dr gunsmith, welcome back to our wonderful hobby. Regards Charlie
And proud of yourself you should be to.
Thanks for the tour, good to see what's there and get a bit more additional information about the layout.
Took on board what you said in your last video about planning and setting goals, I have done that for 2023 and as for staying focused, easy for me, my layouts in the shed so no distractions like a PC up there, my issue is making the effort to walk up the garden in the wet and cold :-)
Best regards Mark
I’m so pleased that you have adopted a similar routine Mark. Procrastination is a terrible sin, and of course we are all guilty of it. Stay safe mate, regards, Charlie
Focused for 2023! A good motto for us all Charlie.
I’m with you on that one, Davie. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie. The camera work on this train is superb. This reminds me of riding the front view of the first car on New York City Subway. The trackage & buildings look 💯. Excellent job..👍🎥🚦🛤🛤🛤
Thanks Harold, for leaving such a heartwarming comment mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Very enjoyable vlog Charlie, keep up your mojo 😂
Thanks Martin, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Thanks for the information and the way you present it. I hope to start my project when I finally get to retire and will revisit your videos for inspiration thanks again
Thanks Vernon, I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, well done on finishing your January board.
I can attest to the operation of the Wago wire connectors, as I have started the process of connecting by droppers on my layout, finding the process so much easier with Wago joiners, thank you so much!
cheers Paul
I’m so pleased that you found my suggestion useful Paul. Regards, Charlie
Another great video Charlie, I particularly enjoyed watching the struggle with the board, and the first person tour of the layout. You realise on the camera train tour, just how big this layout is.
I also liked the goal setting tip, because I too, get distracted by bloody TH-cam.
Thanks again for another great vid.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Peter, and are taking steps to avoid procrastination!
Stay safe mate, regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Distracted by TH-cam, including this channel! In a way, thank goodness this pep-talk is only once per two weeks!
Great update Charlie
Nick Australia
Thanks Nick, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it mate. Regards, Charlie
Great video as always Charlie. A great help would be information about converting as DC layout to dcc
A great subject Chris. Regards, Charlie
I do wish my wiring was as neat and tidy as yours Charlie 😳…another brilliant video especially loving the camera train tour…also i know exactly what you mean about setting yourself a goal and sticking to it..looking forward to the next one now
Thanks Marcus, I’m so pleased that you enjoy the videos. Regards, Charlie
Another ace video Charlie, nice to see the TMD progressing along. Hope your head is a bit better, as you say the more advanced in years you get the more you seem to bash your bonce, I'm quite glad that I have to wear a hard hat at work 😂.
The 'shorts' definitely seem to work for other channels I watch so I look forward to seeing some in the future from you.
The one trick I have found when I want to get on with a job is to stick my headphones in and listen to an album, it's quite remarkable how much you can get done while listening to a favourite band or even a podcast, so much more productive than falling down a FB shorts/TH-cam/Twitch/TikTok hole (or whatever your visual media of choice is 🙂)
Take care mate .
Are useful tip Darren. He could help many of us to stay focused. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie I have just found your channel, What a great video and channel you have, I am now going to go back and work my way through your videos you have an impressive layout and love how you present your channel and videos I’m going to learn so much, I want to get back into this great hobby and want to get learning DCC, I do have all my old DC trains but now that I am in a position to build a proper layout I want to start with DCC your channel is going to be of great help to me and inspire me also, keep up the good work Charlie cheers Chris
That’s great news Chris, it’s great to have you onboard mate. Good luck with your project, regards, Charlie
Great video Charlie! Your TMD is coming along nicely and cant wait to see it completed. Also thank you for the advice about losing your Mojo. Im having the same problem. Ive planned loads of mini projects on my layout for 2023. But when I come to do them, i have the same problem too. Hope your keeping well. Steve
I’m so pleased that you found the advice useful Steve. Regards Charlie
Charlie thanks for the comments about targets and keeping focused. It's something I am trying to put into practice with my own layout of Lancaster Green Ayre. You even get an honorable mention in my first video of the year!! I have even made a plan of what needs doing on the layout and the rough order I need to do it in. I know what you mean about procrastination too. Things to improve on in 2023!!
Thanks LGA, we all have this shortcoming from time to time. Regards Charlie
I really relate you your comments on focus. My layout just never seems to be finished and I get constantly distracted by things like detailing rolling stock when I should be finishing scenery! Also I keep putting off track cleaning and then I have to do a lot more of it! Keep up the great work Charlie!
I feel your pain Peter. I clean my track on the first day of the month. Regards, Charlie
Another good video Charlie. I loved the driver's eye view type tour!
I think the short videos is a great idea, and would be a great addition. One such video could perhaps be on Safety and Security, eg Fire safety, Health safety, and Security like alarms and insurance.
Thanks for all your hard work. Mike
Now that’s an idea if I hadn’t thought of. Regards, Charlie
Another great video Charlie, I always learn something. In the lead up to my new layout build when my new house is finished in May this year, I’ve now got a ferrule crimping kit & Wago terminals so moved away from chocolate blocks and twisting wire ends. Also going to use the terminal buses produced by DCC Concepts. Cheers, Apples
You have made some excellent choice Apples. Regards, Charlie
