My goodness Charlie, a sizeable update indeed! 😲 I really like the section where the helix tracks duck down under the reversing loop. Great potential for a splendid looking set of retaining walls in the cutting and a great place for photographing trains for any 1/76 spotters with just a short trip across the way to the TMD! 🤓
Cheers Charlie, get yourself a well deserved bevvy and have a great weekend mate! 😉👍🍀🍻
Thanks Tim, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Nothing wrong waking up in the middle of the night with the answer, hoping you will remember next morning..lol😅
Now there’s a terrifying thought. Regards, Charlie.
Glad I'm not the only one that can hit a workbench with a jigsaw😁
We are amongst the elite Hugh regards, Charlie
Channelling your inner Blackadder at the end. Love it.
Thanks Adam, I’m so pleased it made you smile. Regards, Charlie
Thanks Charlie for the Great progress post.
I inherited Marklin 3 rail set up that Uncle started 1950s , my aunt decided to use the 6x4 base for a cat litter box?!?!. I would like to tell the whole story of the rescue,and when expansion drawings only allowed the train only went one direction, the rusting Wren 3 rail had to be replaced with Marklin K nickel track.
Then began a big learning phase of engineering the layout.
Thanks Charlie if you read this post.
Des Kingdom. Australia
Thanks Des, and good luck with your project. Regards, Charlie
Nothing quite like the fright from the jig-saw striking something it wasn't meant to!
Dead right, certainly made me jump! Regards, Charlie
Well done Charlie. This video shows how your cunning plan comes together. The combination of reversing loops and helixes offers a real operational advantage.
Thanks Bob, it does seem to have been a long time coming! Regards, Charlie
Very nicely done, Charlie. Love your sense of humour. 😅
Thanks Martyn, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
So glad you show your successes as well as things that you had to bodge.
Always best to tell the truth.
Regards Charlie
Charlie at 6.00
" i was awake at 2am thinking about reverse loops" lol 😂
Sad isn’t it! Regards, Charlie
Charlie, you are without doubt an old fox! Love your humor and your work 😁
Thanks JFZ, I’m so pleased you find the channel interesting. Regards Charlie
I like cunning, cunning plan! Lots of progress but loads more to do. Will watch with great interest.
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Excellent as always. Perhaps s name change to Baldrick Junction is in order 😂😂 love the videos provide me real inspiration to complete my own cunning plans
Thanks Rob, I’m so pleased that you enjoy my progress. Regards Charlie
Well Baldrick I like your cunning plan! Thanks again Charlie - I watched this video just in time to avoid a mistake. Again super enjoyable and insightful
That’s great news, mate. Regards, Charlie.
Another cracking update Charlie. Just what I’ve needed after not feeling so great for a few weeks.
That’s great news David, I’m so pleased that it’s given you a lift. Regards, Charlie
amazing progress in just 5 days well done Charlie looking forward to a summer of construction
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you found the video interesting. Regards Charlie
Wonderful video.
And to say, all of us over 55ers absolutely feel your pen, your pen?, your pain. Yeah that’s it. Getting old man brain is a peach.
Greetings from/aus Sammamish.
Yes, old-age is certainly reaching out to us. Regards, Charlie
Great to see shots of the whole layout. 👏 looking fantastic
Thanks Dan, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed your visit. Regards Charlie
HOW`S A CLEAVER BOY HE HE Charlie thank you I just look forward to your video`s you show the good and not`s so good bites .
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Fantastic video, thank you Charlie!
You’re most welcome Jade. Regards, Charlie
Yes, I did find your video both interesting, informative and entertaining, as always. Your endless enthusiasm is both heartwarming and humbling. I look forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪.
Thanks Anders, for your heartwarming comment. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Fantastic work Charlie. Excellent progress you're making. Keep up the good work..many thanks.
That’s very kind of you to say so Shane. Regards, Charlie
Great work Charlie makes things so much more fun .
Love your work!
That’s very kind of you to say so, Greg. Regards, Charlie
Thanks Charlie, great Video as ever, refreshing that you also make Mistakes thought it was just me.
Rest assured Peter, it’s not just you. We all do it, it takes a man to admit them! Regards, Charlie
Coming together really nicely.
You will (I hope) be pleased to know you survived another cull of subs, from over 80 down to 6 or 7.
Thanks Chris, it is starting to take shape. I don’t really know what you meant about the cull of subs? Regards, Charlie
Brilliant, I share your enthusiasm, thanks Charlie.
Thanks, Bryan, that’s most kind. Regards, Charlie
Great video as usual. “I have a plan so cunning…” Going to remember that one 😅.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Steve.
The fox was a tale from Blackadder!
Regards Charlie
I don't watch your content as you release them. I wait until there are five or more and then watch them all at once, this one being the final one in the current playlist. I keep wondering if your layout will ever be finished, though I think I know the answer after watching your good self numerous other enthusiasts working on theirs. And I'm not even a model railway enthusiast, I simply love seeing things being made and developed - great upload as usual, thanks for the hard work. On the m,atter of you winning the TH-camr award, it was well deserved, Charlie.
Thanks Jeff, it’s great to have you onboard mate. Regards, Charlie
Hello Charlie, for anyone wanting include a reversing loop on their layout you could not have explained it any better. Great video. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg, that’s very kind of you to say so mate. Regards, Charlie
Very informative video. Another reason to push the insulated fishplates back is to provide a clearence point for trains stopped on the other track and signal block locations even when not using reversing circuits. Then when an engineer runs past the insulated joint of track that is lined for the other track, the train will short out the circuit but has room to stop automatically before running through the switch and derailing. Charlie, another fun video.
Thanks Mike and I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Super episode, nice shout out to Greg, and Fishplate Films, crazy yes, but incredibly knowledgeable regarding such matters.
That little 3D Scenics jig is a Godsend, I could nearly see the relief in your face talking about it.
Thanks 1BC much appreciated. Regards Charlie
Charlie, you are a genius vidiographer! I've never got round to building my own model railway so get my "kicks" from Guy's like you. The way you plan and forsee (mostly) upcoming issues and are so honest when you get things wrong is so refreshing. I've watched the "new" Chadwick" from it's inception ftom your old TMD and always look forward to your updates. Can't wait to see how your truly great layout ends up and see your Western region trains run.
Nearly scenic time again!
Cheers!
Thanks Andy, for such a heartwarming comment. Regards, Charlie
You said “beautiful” but I would suggest “Absolutely and Without ANY Doubt, This is Truly a Beautiful Work of Art!” Great video, lots of interesting information and excellent explanations. Thanks Charlie!
Thank you, Stephen, for such a heartwarming comment. Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway your channel is consistently one of my favorites!
"...a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox." - I love it!
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Can’t beat a Blackadder quote 😂
Another great and informative video. Enjoy your weekend ahead.
Thanks Mark, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Brilliant video Charlie. Cant wait for the next one. Many thank Steve
Thanks Steve, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
Fun times with Charlie. Thanks for also including the whoopsie with the saw. I was wondering how many accidents your workmate had experienced. Sadly mine has had more than it's fair share.
Very interesting video. Thankyou.
It’s a workmate, that’s been thoroughly abused! Regards, Charlie
Brilliant! Well done Charlie, in your inimitable style, warts and all, and you do a reverse loop!! The bane of all railway modellers. Can't wait for your bookcase re-styling video. Stay safe, happy modelling. :)
Thanks Paul, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. As an aside, the bookcase has been moved!
Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Was it too big to landscape?
We🎉done Charlie
Great inde🎉

Thanks Nick, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Great to get that track work sorted. Major step forward for Chadwick world. Was going to suggest a plexiglass plate along that narrow section with the long drop, but Martin had already suggested it. Arthur
Yes, it definitely needs something, but the material has yet to be decided. Regards, Charlie
looking good charlie looks like a lot of work that you have done so far derek
Thanks Derek, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Always great to watch your videos Charlie
Thanks Simon, that’s most kind mate. Regards, Charlie
excellent video Baldrick.... very cunning reverse loops!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it “Edmund”. Regards Charlie
Great progress and we can see the delight on your face 😊 i am sure that the return loops will improve the enjoyment of the layout significantly.
Thanks Peter, and I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards, Charlie
Exciting times at Chadwick!!
Thanks, I’m pleased that you enjoyed it.
Regards Charlie
Great stuff Charlie - love this part of the layout. Enjoyed the video and "hats off" to the Black Adder reference - it was never in doubt that you would have a cunning plan!!
Thanks Daryl, I’m so pleased that you find my videos. Interesting. Regards Charlie
Thankyou Charlie, i did find that interesting. That method of cork laying, I seem to remember doing the same thing, using black rubbish bags or old newspapers! i am still dc, but if i launch into dcc it would probably be the hornby hm 7000 system, anyway, Model Railways, the greatest hobby in the world!
Thanks Michael, I’m so pleased you enjoy the channel. Good luck with your project, regards, Charlie
hi Charlie another great video i really do like these layout videos looks amazing .regards
Thanks Geoffrey, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Charlie, great ideas, great layout, (nearly there) but boy your carpentry is scary.. as always great to watch, high light of my fortnight...I must get out more! thanks.
Thanks Vic, I’m so pleased that you found it scary! Regards, Charlie
Fabulous progress Charlie!
Thanks, Alastair, regards, Charlie
Huge progress, Charlie! A joy to watch!
Thanks Michael, very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Another brilliant video Charlie. Hope you’re going to do the wiring installation video for occupancy detection sometime soon please.
It’s on the list mate. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie, another excellent video. After a break of 60 years I am starting on an end to end country terminus and since watching and catching up on all your videos over the last 3 years it is always in my mind that black is to the back. I am so glad that the layout I am planning is a simple one after watching the wiring on your reverse loop - I queried the wiring on a previous video when black went to the front until you said that it was because of a reverse loop. Keep up the good work. Regards Bill.
Thanks Bill, I’m so pleased that you find my videos. Interesting. Regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, it makes perfect sense look at the length of your parcel van, you could have one bogie in each section across the frog and section change over.
keep up the good work .
Thanks Derek, I’m so pleased that you understand my thinking. Regards Charlie
As usual Charlie, another great video . Cheers
Thanks Jim, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Great update Charlie from a fellow Blackadder fan! 🦊
Thanks Matt, Much appriciated. Regards Charlie
Spot on Charlie 😊 can't wait for the branch line area!
Thanks Edward, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
Great video Charlie. My brain hurts a little less now.
Your brain, my must be turning to mush! Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie, I laughed out loud when you explained your philosophy of layout building - "no job is too small to bodge"! Too true! Yes its a hazard of layout construction that one wakes up and worries about it as well. Not really surprising if you care to do it right. Great progress in this video.
Thanks Peter, I’m so pleased that it made you smile. Regards Charlie
You absolutely must scenic the tunnel mouth where the train leaves and enters the helix!
Walls up from the helix to the level of the TMD, decreasing in height as it goes.
You make an interesting suggestion mate. Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway Think of a tunnel under a river. The railway descends into the tunnel mouth, the track progressively lowering. The walls hold the earth back.
When I watched your train exit the helix in this video, rising up from between the two sheets of plywood, it was all I could see.
No obligation.... Have fun Charlie!
Nice when you can see it start taking shape, we all have that outcome in our heads, it's when it materializes, that's when you start feeling alll giddy! Congratulations!
It was very satisfying, reaching such a milestone Thomas. Regards, Charlie.
Well done Baldrick looking forward to seeing your cunning plan 😂😂great work as usual Charlie 🥃🥃👍🏻
Thanks Todd, i’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Great job Charlie, great to see the second reverse loop up and running. You make it look so easy but as you said wasn't quite that quick.
Thanks Chris, yes it was somewhat challenging. Regards, Charlie
Cheers Charlie another great video,the comment did it work first time of course not made me smile .
There’s nothing like the truth, Dave. Regards, Charlie.
Another Great video. Thanks Charlie.
You’re most welcome, Al. Regards, Charlie.
Always an interesting watch Charlie
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Martyn. Regards, Charlie
Quite complex now. Amazing use of available space. Nice episode… gets a 👍🏻 from me. Clearly joinery skills acquired during employment at the local council 🫣. 😆✌🏻🇬🇧
Power tools are my downfall! Regards, Charlie
Great progress!
Thanks Cameron, regards, Charlie
Greg is a awesome "trendsetter"
I’m with you on that one mate. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie ,, Its a good thing you sorted out the reverse loop happenings and is very similar to real track work and signalling here in Australia like when the green Iight turns to red we had a light on and when a then as in the section the light would go out and once it passed that section the light came back on again. When i first started on the railways I was always worried that there would be a collision with all the train movements as we were a junction station (& being only 17 yo) i got used to howmthe system worked and we had to make time to keep it all running efficiently without anyone collisions or hitting each other but as I went along we all used to get a turn of working the signals and points and lock levers (track lock systems) in place to keep trains a safe distance apart from each other. After working there in the ticket office on the platforms and signalbox all in all to help keep on top of things we all use to help out as we were short staffed but we got things done which is the main aim.
Keep up the gr8 videos m8 ,, there oarsome.
Cheers from John in Australia.
Thanks John, for such a heartwarming comment. Regards, Charlie
Excellent video.
Thanks Bob, so pleased that you enjoyed it. Regards, Charlie
Great watching the progress Charlie
Thanks Andy, I’m so pleased that you enjoy it. Regards Charlie

Nice one Charlie, you really cracked on with it and looking good. Susannah
Thanks Susannah , I’m so pleased that you follow my progress. Regards, Charlie
wow what a great way to overcome the probs both physical and mentallly i can can understand to a points it to see it up and running it must be blish thank you to to all the team thank you for sutcha great vlog
You’re most welcome r1000, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Regards Charlie
Thank you for another brilliant video and info Charlie
You’re very welcome mate. Stay safe, regards, Charlie
Excellent progress Charlie. Where you're getting very close to the edge with the reverse loops perhaps employ a similar thing to how your electronic panels drop down? By this I mean plywood or perspex if you want to be able to see what goes on in there and then you will be able to protect from cliff diving derailment and be able to access for maintenance.
I think your bang on the money BC, with a Perspex type affair. Regards, Charlie
Excellent Charlie. Learned much from this one
That’s great news, Redbank. Regards, Charlie
Love the update and especially a Blackadder quote or misquote! Perhaps instead of calling calling it Barnstaple station it should Blackadder or Barnadder or Blackstaple
Thanks David, the name is still in the air! Regards, Charlie
This is an excellent video of a reverse loop construction with digital control, the tortoise motor template is a great little tool.
Thanks Bill, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
Infectious enthusiasm as always Charlie! Great progress, looking forward to the next video already! T (deeper and darker Kernow)
Where I was born Trystan. Regards, Charlie.
Excellent solution. It might be helpful in DCC to not think in terms of polarity but actually it's phase that we have to think of. The joining sections at each end of a reverse loop are technically out of phase with each other as DCC is an AC signal. Well done in any case!
Thanks Philip, for some useful guidance. Regards, Charlie
I was once told be a supposed high level engineer that the Integrity of the bodge must be absolute. All good engineers know what level of bodge is acceptable, I love the idea that you had to have lollies until you got the right thickness😁 and great job really enjoyed this one.
Thanks Paul , for such a heartwarming comment. Regards, Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway I do have an N gauge analog layout in the loft called Lofthaven. It was in March 2007 Modelrail.
It’s rather large and is based on Southern region 1950s with a few exceptions like all us model nuts.
Lots of progress Baldrick, I mean Charlie! And glad it all worked first time (wink wink) without any editing. Cheers
It’s a worthwhile struggle Davie. Regards, Charlie
Really great to see you in a chipper mood, not that you normally dont but you can really tell you are excited about the progress, nice work. love watching.
Thanks Richard, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. And yes it was very rewarding. Regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie very good, it seems you are a few weeks ahead of me as I am fitting 2 reverse modules to complete my loop. The tip on the extra track after the point prior to the break is a great tip at the right time . I like the cunning plan Black Adder., cheers also from Australia.
I’m so pleased that you found a video. Interesting mate. Good luck with your project, regards, Charlie
Superb video, entertaining and very informative. Love your presentation which is easy to listen to. Always look forward to the next session. Thanks
Thanks Jeffrey, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie
Train technology is growing vastly over the years. I remember when once you turn the dial on the train move.
Yes Paul, technology waits for no man. Regards, Charlie
Good video nice build you did keep the great work on layout thanks lee
Thanks Lee, I’m so pleased you found this video interesting. Regards, Charlie
Love your helix!
Thanks Skip, but it is a massive undertaking. Regards, Charlie
Great video Charlie. The reversing loop problem is a long standing one and there seem to be several approaches to it - yours seems to work a lot better than some others I have seen!
Thanks Alan, that’s very reassuring. Regards, Charlie
Nice one, Charlie. It's a very enjoyable video😊
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it mate. Regards, Charlie
Charlie, yet again you've blown my mind, that was nothing short of brilliant, congratulations, I could tell your chuffed to bits, and so you should be. One thing that made me smile was when you were cutting your ply I was cringing oh he's going to hit the workmate!!! I've got the same black and decker workmate with the same scars and I've done the same thing so many times over the years, but I wouldn't be without it. No-one can criticise your skills in building this wonderful layout, you must be getting to the stage now when you can take a day off building work and just play trains. Take care Charlie I'm really enjoying the little snippets you do in-between these videos. Eddy xx
Thanks Eddy, for such a heartwarming comment. Regards, Charlie
nice " Blackadder" quotation
reminds me of baldrics's definition of what is irony. "It's like something goldeny or silvery but made of iron"
Thanks David, that quote had passed me by. Regards, Charlie
Thank you Charlie, for a great video. Glad to see you didn't get wet in the recent floods!
It was somewhat touch and go, and full of worry! Regards, Charlie
Excellent work
Thanks, Stephen, regards, Charlie
Nice to see a train running after all your hard work and time.
Even better that they managed to stay on the tracks! Regards, Charlie
Thanks for sharing `warts and all` update, love your sense of humour especially when using your jigsaw. We can clearly see the progress you have made and well done on this. Take care and please stay safe, regards Barry..
Thanks Barry, I’m so pleased that you found it. Interesting mate. Regards, Charlie
When I was using circuit breakers for protection I found that they would not give my PM42 enough time to change the polarity of the reverse loops and even though it was only a difference of a few milliseconds the circuit breaker would activate. I got around this by using 1 ft lengths of rail, double insulated at both ends, at each end of the reverse loop and fed those individually, directly from the DCS 240 unit, and so bypassed the circuit breakers. The DCS 240 has built in short circuit protection (as you know charlie) as you yourself use Digitrax. This cured the problem. However I am now using lamps in parallel then in series circuits for short protection. 2 lamps in parallel with both in series for each of the 3 levels. I no longer experience any problems at all with any trains using the reverse loops, which I have 4 in total controlled by my PM42 and 1 which I use a DPDT switch for polarity reversing. Greg is correct in what he is saying.
Thanks for such an interesting comment, Sam. Using the solid-state modules seems much more reliable. Regards, Charlie
Great video, and progress Charlie
Thanks Bill, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie
