Yep, I'll endorse that. Just sat through it eating my dinner. Charlie really has a calming effect when he appears in front of the camera. I had spaghetti btw and I'm not a great fan of spaghetti. I've screamed at her "no more spaghetti", if she gives me that again I'm off. Twenty years I've been saying that but I'm still here. I mean, have you ever seen a grown man with two suitcases and a model railway walking down the street? So thanks again Charlie, hopefully I'll be sitting here eating toad in the hole next time you're on.

I wouldn’t worry about ballast sitting on the sleepers. As a freight driver, I see this a lot! Network Rail will regularly order more ballast than is required, then the poor guys tipping it from the wagons have to find a way of getting rid of it!! If it gets sent back without being dropped, someone gets charged for it. So, very often, they’ll drop it everywhere they can get away with it. Sometimes you can drive for miles and not actually see the sleepers through the ballast.

Hello Charlie, Love the idea of Copydex with ballast… However, I think I have refined your idea and would love to share what I found because it is the way forward in my opinion. - Wetting with water only, stops the patchiness. - I part copydex to 4 parts water is great (2 drops) Use cotton buds to clean the glue and any ballast movement off the sleepers before the glue goes tacky and dry. The noise level is greatly improved. Love your channel and modelling knowledge and skills. Thanks! Joe

A bit late in your build process, I use "expanding foam filler" inside my viaducts to add strength and as a noise insulation. Bit fiddly, as you need to set up a support jig to keep the viaduct deck flat and the walls straight as the foam expands, with of course some outlets for the expanding foam - say the bottom of the pillars, but you get a great outcome.
