Wow Charlie, that is truly amazing! One of your best informative videos and a real pleasure to watch! Putting my iPad away and going to have another look this afternoon on the TV. One thing, suggest you get a tee-shirt manufacturer to sponsor you, freebies galore and you can ruin them to your heart’s content. Enjoy your upcoming trips.
Thanks Anthony, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
You call that ruining a shirt? When I was into RC planes, I dripped 30 minute epoxy right on the shirt pocket of the Co. I worked for! Guess that’ll be my RR scenery shirt! BTW, I really enjoyed the work in progress. Take care, I’m ready for your next adventure... P.S. Oh, oh oh! Just remembered something. Charlie, don’t forget the cow pies amongst the cows! Or as we call them... mine fields! You have to be careful where you step!
@@ChadwickModelRailway I would've thought the hobby was fun enough by itself, but you definetly deserve the lovely comments!
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Nickolas Reuben instablaster ;)
I really appreciate your friendly and affable presentation style. Keep up the good work!
I’m so very pleased that you enjoyed it
Thanks Charlie my husband and I have decided to start a model railway and we have been watching your videos with much enjoyment love that you leave in the bloopers and the little added comments at the bottom of the screen and as well as learning great tips you are entertaining us and make the gaining of knowledge pleasurable
THANK YOU Sylvia & Tony
Tuffley model railway to be
What a heartwarmimg comment Sylvia and Tony.
Good luck with your project.
Stay safe, regards Charlie
Hi Charlie, This is another very informative and constructed tutorial. This video is 4 years old, but it is still up-to-date. You do a great job promoting this fabulous hobby
Thanks Denzil, that’s very kind of you to say so. Regards, Charlie.
Something of a Johnny Come-Lately here I know but this series on the viaduct board has been wonderful, relaxing viewing which also mages to inform and inspire. As a 70 year old who is planning his first layout since childhood days, an Inglenook shunting of some sort to enjoy with my grandchildren as well as just play trains, your videos, along with the many other excellent model railway UA-camrs, are a superb source of ideas and techniques. I have no doubt that I will make a wealth of mistakes when I start my layout but never mind as it will be fun and will certainly get the creative juices flowing. Thanks for this and all your videos,
It appears that the world is your oyster. Please check out my video number 209. Regards, Charlie.
Fair play to you Charlie for your determination on this project. I was getting frustrated at times and I was only watching it. Absolutely brilliant finish and an enjoyable journey with you watching this unfold. Keep up the good work pal. Love it Kevin
Thanks Kevin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
I got an empty loft planned for next year as had to pay for my daughter's wedding this year, but I've been watching your videos intently and learning new stuff along the way, bit nervously looking forward to it but thankyou for your great video's.
Thanks, Mr. R, and good luck with your forthcoming project. Regards, Charlie.
Bravo. Gorgeous. Looks just like the British videos I so enjoy on UA-cam. I, too, have a T-shirt and it's just what it looks like: blue paint in the shape of a paint roller. Nicely enjoyed from the beginning. Thanks.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Austin.
Charlie, greetings from upstate NY. That was an awesome presentation. It cleared up a lot of questions that I've had about modelling this kind of expansive rural terrain. Thanks.
I think your trees are among the best I've seen, they are ultra realistic. Great presentation style as well. Luke Towan is a source of inspiration for me as well.
Vines crawling up the viaduct pillars would be a nice touch I think.
Our fields have more trees between them than bushes, tree rows more than hedge rows. The older fields are often demarcated by hand laid stone fences, particularly in neighbouring New England.
I don't have a layout started yet, just a small test track. Getting back into the hobby after more years away than I care to remember, I'm concentrating on updating and repairing old rolling stock and power which are all DC at the moment. A friend from down south is supplying me with virtually free freight and passenger cars as well as a plethora of ancient Athearn EMD F-7s. The shells will fit newer chassis so work on them won't go to waste. I have a lot of videos shot that are awaiting edit and upload. Unfortunately, it takes more time to set up the shots and edit it all into coherent videos than it takes to do the actual modifications.
I have managed to get a few videos up on the Tube though.
BTW: Around 1975, I spent a week in London and visited Madenhead (Cosworth), Brands Hatch and Goodwood. I met many wonderful people and got to hang out with the great Derek Bell at Goodwood circuit. I fell in love with England. My grandmother was a Drake and a descendant of Sir. Francis so there's some family history there! Alas, I have never gotten a chance to go back.
Thanks and regards,
- Dave
Wow, what a comment. I’m so very pleased that you enjoyed it and good luck with your layout
Great job, it really looks good.
I also follow Luke Towan, luckily for me, he lives here in Adelaide, and I can use the suppliers he uses.
Thanks Peter. So you must know what a “Chop-it” is. One of Luke’s favourites.
Hello Charlie i like you a lot because you are a very talented man,but you dont come over all big headed.Watching you work and hearing you speak is a joy,and your vids are some of the best ive watched on here.What you have made looks great and i love it :)
Thanks Micheal, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile
Looks brilliant really enjoyed watching all the videos you make it feel as if you are there 😀👍
Glad you enjoyed it DYSC.
Well done, Charlie. Got there... I did have a “Blue Peter” moment when you showed the tree you had done earlier... 😉
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Timothy
On the black boarder for the scene, put a fossil on it like it’s underground. Love you videos
Thanks Vincent, you’re too kind.
@Iain Botham I'm planning on doing a tiny mine on the edge/side of my T Gauge layout, but I don't know if it would be too small to see (1:450 scale - 3x smaller than N Scale - 1:150 scale)!
Just got through watching your Viaduct Landscaping video. When the water was done before you put in the ripples I thought it was brilliant looking. Then you scared me by putting all that white stuff on top of a beautiful mirrored finish. But the next day when it all dried out it really did look good. I like your style and sense of humor. Open without cable TV so most of my down time is spent on UA-cam looking at train platforms. Now that's old school. Model railroading I guess this is what it should be called.
Thanks Donald, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
Hallo Charly!
Wonderful landscape!
It's a great pleasure to whatch your videos!
It's so astonishing!
It remembers me of old an railway at the borderline Germany/Belgium near Aachen from Eupen to Luxembourg through the wilderness of the Eifel!
Friendly greetings from Cologne!
Thanks DK, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
superb charlie great stuff looks smashing mate
mick
Thanks Mike, you’re too kind.
That does look good! :-)
And you should have left the block glued to your top without mentioning it!!! :-D
Thanks Sammy
Good teachers don't cover their mistakes... They're honest and use them to inform their students of any possible pitfalls... Seeing is believing...
Thanks to that honesty, I learned, apart from how to make a cracking tree, that even those with the best of skill are going to get covered in stuff so 'wear old clothes'. If Charlie gets that much on him with his skills, I'd need to be wearing a boilersuit and facemask if I attempted it. Even then I'd probably still glue some part of myself to something.
It's good that he's transparent with these things. :)
Honestly is always the best policy.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Buck
A class act, who does excellent work!
Thanks TB
Really nice, and coming together nicely.
On the frugal front, I'll share something from an Australian chap named Peter--he makes rocks, particularly those around water, by crumbling 6-8mm coark sheets. The effect is stunning, as the cork breaks up into rocky bits, and accepts paint reasonably well ithout being over-uniform.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip.
Very nice Charlie,The viaduct looks like it was built into the valley by the railway. The trees are really ace,. even more so while the rest of us are watching T.V. in the evenings your building trees. If you hadn't said I would have thought you'd dropped your cream doughnut down your front. Take care, Cheers, Chris Perry.
Hi Chris, I’m so pleased that I’m keeping you entertained.
Very informative and relaxing to watch you work.
Cheers from California
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Gary.
Great result Charlie. Proper impressed!
Thanks mate.
Brilliant video again really enjoyed all your tips. Well done looks so real. Than you.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
I think the river looked better with a mirror finish personally. Where I live we have a river that is miles long but has a surface like a mill pond. The reflection of the viaduct in the water lookeed stunning. Your landscape looks very good indeed.
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Looks amazing. I love the way the viaduct fits in, and the tractor sets it off. You need a couple of pints of the other type of IPA (India Pale Ale).
Thanks Timothy, it does bring that scene to life. Regards, Charlie.
I also like your trees they look very real .It reminds me of when I was at school someone asked me what sort of tree is that I said a wooden one
They were a challenge though.
I enjoyed how well you explained each step you took. I am here in New Hampshire , USA.
Thanks Joe, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Yes I did enjoy it Charlie .. great job
Thanks Jim
Hi Charlie, yes indeed have watched your Wiring the DCC bus, many thanks for prompt reply, it’s understanding of say laying points end to end using frog insulators, ie say even fiddle yard. Kind regards Eddie. Excellent channel! 🤓
Point taken Edward, I’ll add it to the list
This looks marvellous already.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it plot1184. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway you too, good Sir. You too ☺
Brilliant videos. Helpful tips that give me confidence to try my first piece of landscaping on my first layout.
Go for it Stuart the world is your oyster.
That’s really good Charlie keep up with the hard work
Thanks mate, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. Regards Charlie
Love the blowtorch technique. I hadn’t heard that one before.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Keith
Hi Charlie. What an amazing job you have done on the viaduct & landscape. You saved the best till last I have followed you on this path, every video as been very informative I will watch this video again I am in awe of what you have achieved it is totally amazing. Regards George.....
George, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile.
Beautifully done !
Thanks mate, regards Charlie
What a great scene! And a very useful video.
Thanks James, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Looks really good Charlie job well done have enjoyed watching this project thank you so much...I never liked doing scenery upto about 2 years ago now it's my favourite part of the hobby right next to scratch building locomotives
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Charlie, I am still at the bare baseboard stage, what you are doing is great - giving me great inspiration and ideas, thanks!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it David.
Great stuff Charlie the trees are amazing.
Thanks Stephen .
That really is fantastic, Charlie.
Thanks John, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting. Regards Charlie.
Charlie,this is without any doubt one of the best rail channels that I have viewed. I have a 70ft layout up in my loft ( was a bedroom ) however I have vastly in proved it simply because of your excellent vids and expertise.many thanks for your time , effort & terrific knowledge.
What a heartwarming comment Terry, you’re too kind mate. Regards Charlie
Fantastic video and very comprehensive tutorial. Very brave with the water!
Like you I find that after spending a fortune on every tool under the sun, the best results come from a wet finger!!!!
Likewise, I spray all my bushes (lichen works great with the scatter and leaves) and trees black first. It produces so much better depth and contrast. Like you I observe that as you look at trees the underlying colour is black and I am still searching for a tree with a brown trunk!
I am really liking where this diorama is going. Keep up the good work, it is paying off in spade fulls.
Big thumbs up!
Thanks Malcolm, it’s comments such as yours that make it worthwhile
The perfect video the viaduct build. I'm going to do one with a curve in it into my helix up five laps to the main level it's going to look real cool I love your viaduct I learned a lot glad I found your channel sir
I’m so pleased that you find the channel useful Vic. Regards Charlie
It looks GREAT Charlie !!!!!
Thanks Bert
Nice video Charlie. I've made river and pond effects with resin by doing it in layers. The first layer uses more dye of dark blue-green. Then another layer with less dye . Then a third layer of with less dye of light green. This give a look of depth to the water.
Thanks, good tip
Very evocative and pretty! Would like to go for a hike through that valley then have a beer! Best wishes.
Mine’s a lager!
@@ChadwickModelRailway Corona and a wedge of lime in the bottle neck coming up!
Thumbs up from me Charlie...very nice work. Very informative video's presented in a down to earth, watchable style.
Thanks Malc, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Looking great Charlie!
Thanks Paul, I’m so very pleased that you enjoyed it
Wonderful piece of modelling, every process well documented.....I used woodland scenics realistic water on my canal, as the mixing process I didn't have the worry.....
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Richard
Cracking demonstration! Thank you!
Thanks FHR, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
I see the grey bridge over the river as being red or dirty yellow brick colour. As it is, I fancy it looks somewhat unfinished. You do brilliant work and induce a confidence, in me anyway. I 'DO' click the 👍🏻 up button. DAVE C🦉
Hi Dave, I see the viaduct as a granite construction. Regards Charlie
Another great video Charlie can't wait for the next one
Thanks Dave, I’m so glad pleased that you enjoyed it.
Looks Fantastic Charlie, Great Job
Thanks James
Hello from America! I have watched several of your videos so far and have learned something useful to this HO scale modeler in each video. The fact you use products made by American companies (Woodland Scenics, 3M, Envirotex, Mod-Podge) will make sourcing the products much easier. As per usual I learned from this video. This time I was intrigued by your tree assembly and painting methods. Simple using readily available items and a few steps to a fantastic tree. Here in the states we have black poly-fiber (same as the white used in pillows) and I will try using it instead of the sea foam on the tree branches. I'm hoping it will eliminate a painting step. Again, thanks for teaching this old modeler a few new tricks.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Dave.
Charlie, a fabulous video. The Ernesto (Lidl) cookery blow lamp is a boon - I use it for soldering heavier brass parts together, when the soldering iron just won’t heat the parts efficiently or as quickly as needed. Useful in many areas for sure. The end result for you is outstanding and very impressive. All the best, as ever. Bob
Thanks Bob, I’m so very pleased that you enjoyed it, blow lamp buddy!
Stumbled across your channel over the christmas hols.....it's bl**dy brilliant! Just the thing to help me with 2020's project / resolution to start on layout around the circumference of the playroom for my sons (+ me!)
Thanks Mark, it’s great to have you onboard.
Good video Charlie and nice modelling. Hot Tip (excuse the pun) - when using a blowlamp on your model have a car fire extinguisher or even a bucket of water close to hand as most of our models are made from flammable materials and are readily combustible. You don't want your hard work going up in flames or, even worse, setting your railway room or even house on fire as the highly combustible materials do lend themselves to rapid fire growth and spread.
A VERY good point David.
Charlie you are awesome... suggest you raid the long suffering wife's pantry and "borrow" an apron...saves going through the t-shirts.
Your passion for the hobby is infectious
Thanks Patrick, you’re too kind
Absolutely amazing!
I couldn’t agree more mate. Regards Charlie
Looks fantastic!
Thanks Stephen
Thanks for the informative videos, Charlie. Just in the early stages of a model railway (N gauge, to test my eyesight...) ,and your tips are really pointing me in the right direction. You and the guru Luke Towan (we can only hope, hey?) are my go-to's now.
As for the polo shirts.... not only are you wrecking them, but they are Lacoste and Ralph Lauren ones, too!
Keep up the good work.
Sadly Roger, rest assured that those polo shits had seen better days.
Good luck with your project, regards Charlie
Great work and great presentation style 👍.
Thanks Leigh
Catching up on your video's whilst working from home !!. Great work. Love your videos. Great work and great explanations....thanks :)
What a heart warming comment Robin. Stay safe. Regards Charlie
@@ChadwickModelRailway I'm returning to model railways after a 30 year hiatus...so these videos are perfect for me to get my juices flowing :) thanks again.
Very good charlie I love your vids so imformative and you tell it like it is with the little mistakes you make on the way and tell us what you should have done ,which is good for us fellow modellers not to make the same little mistakes , now the bridge I love the bridge but don't love the bridge if you get my drift ,to me the bridge sits up to much if it was set lower I think it would look much better but that would now be very tricky after the work you have done ,the only other option is a different type of bridge ,I like the gentle background music very soothing , thanks again Ray.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Ray
Stunning job Charlie, pleasure to watch, that's what I like about your video's, you get it wart's 'n' all! You could do with some heavy weathering on that little bridge though, like you did on the rocks. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers...Les.
Thanks Les, bridge weathering is on the long list!
Very nice Sir Thank You for sharing your talents
You’re too kind Dennis.
Looks brilliant!
Thanks Martin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Just watched the video again Charlie, i still think it is brilliant. Since my last comment i have moved house and bought an n gauge train set and made up a 4' x 2'6 board for it. i have also purchased the ratio viaduct. All i have to do now is work out how to turn it into a scene similar to yours. Many thanks
Welcome back to the hobby Sean. I wish you luck with the viaduct, I’m sure your master it and make it excellent job. Regards Charlie
Well that's come on a treat. Certainly does look good and will hopefully look back at this when I take the plunge into the river Exe (in model form lol) later this year.. so that's now 2 reasons why I own an airbrush 😆
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Nice job looks good river looks great looking forward to next video
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it John
Looks really great Charlie.
Thanks Bill.
a real credit to all your hard work, looks great!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it David
Thank you for sharing your process, your discoveries and your uncertianities... that gives me more confidence to try it myself... Of course I like the bridge and the whole diorama!
BTW: Thank you for deleting inappropriately worded comments - there is no need to use those words even if you disagree with something or someone. Additionally, that means I can safely to recommend this video to my friends and acquaintences etc.. Nice work sir...
Thanks Jim, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and feel the same way regarding swearing on UA-cam.
Great location for a great tree
Thanks Ivo
Looks awesome Charlie! Inspiring!
Thanks Damon
Looking really excellent! 👍
Thanks Mark
Looks superb Charlie
Thanks Andrew
Excellent Charlie!
Thanks Barrie
yes charlie it is truly amazing peter from australia
Thanks Peter, I’m so pleased that you found it interesting.
@@ChadwickModelRailway yep real good aim 68 and to late in life to start my own railway and no room thanks for your reply i will keep watching bloody good peter
I love your work!
Thanks Daniel, you’re too kind
Lovely work!
Thanks Gary, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
That is really could be a diorama in its own right
Thanks Thomas, you’re very kind.
Simply AMAZING!!
Thanks Larry
A stunning effort.
Thanks Andrew
Great one Charlie have been subscribed for awhile but first comment. Glad to find someone with as heavy a hand as myself when applying glue. Looking life like and your basic guiding of what you are doing is much appreciated. Cheers Robert, Adelaide, Aus.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it Robert
Very nice work and excellent presentation! Canoeists is a given, in the foreground, but given peoples carelessness with both driving and nature there could even be a car wreck in the far end of the river, or perhaps close to the bridge.
Canoeing yes, car crash, doubtful, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing your skills. For those like me who are just starting out, they are so helpful. I particularly like the rocks on either side of the river.
Thanks Aidan, I’m so pleased that you found the video useful. Regards Charlie
What can one say, except for true craftsmanship. Well done Charlie, you have done it again.
Thanks Robin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
I think the bridge will work really well if you weather it to make it look old and well used. I'd make it a bit mossy and overgrown.
I think that you’re right and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Hi Charlie,I am sitting here at 10 to 1 am Saturday morning and I have to say it's looking great.When it's finished I think it will look awesome.Like yourself I have some reservations about the wee bridge,personally if I had your skills I would have went for a wooden structure bridge,ye olde type that the farmers great,great,Grandad built way back when.Have a good break
Thanks Robert, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
More great work ,Charlie.Hot air gun also works on water effects,or just blow on it with a straw. Regarding forced perspective for HO I use 1:100 then 1:120 (TT) and where I have enough depth 1:160. Also,watching this I realised some of my plans are filled too much with track and structures,most scenery in backdrops. One must leave enough space for 3D scenery,especially in the foreground.
Thanks Simon, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Yes creating depth is always a challenge.
Hi Charlie, all looking good. I never thought of using decorators caulk for small gaps,I'll remember that little tip for the future.For filling slightly larger gaps, I have in the past used Pink Grip SF [solvent free] which accepts the 'wet finger' and takes paint when dry.RegardsMike [chapel house model railway]
Thanks Mike, I’ll check out Pink Grip, and I’ve subscribed too.
A great and informative video again.
Thanks Andrew, I'm so pleased that you found it interesting.
Thanks Charlie 👍🏻
You’re welcome
that is fantastic work Charlie!! I should say that tractor could be weathered and even maybe some brown paint marks on the tires to make it look like it's been working hard!!
All in good time, it’s a matter of priorities currently. But I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
Your videos are a wonderful resource for those of us just starting out. Thank you so much.
Rick F. from Indiana, USA
Thanks Rick, you’re too kind.
I don't usually watch all of a long video, but I did on this occasion!.... excellent
Thanks mate, I know it can be a bit of a slog at times.
Gorgeous module. It looks so much like what I see in UA-cam videos; you've captured the essence of English countryside in my eyes. Thanks.
Thanks Austin, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.
I love discovering crossover tools, from the kitchen to the garage to the arts and crafts cabinet. Good job and nice video.Cheers!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it
