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

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 KZread videos yet. ( maybe coming soon)

Soldering, I am an electronic engineer and know how to solder but many modellers are put off soldering or find it daunting so maybe a short tutorial on soldering and how to tin wire and or the work and to select soldering irons and care and cleaning would make a helpful short. It's worth considering a solder station with temperature control, a good flexible wire, and other accessories like a helping hand device to hold the workpiece. When using multistrand wire inserted into a connector a ferrule is suitable but an alternative is tinning the wire works well. Consideration to ventilation and even the installation of a small fan blowing the fumes away from your face. As for the bumps on the head, I think we golden oldies need to wear hard hats as a matter of course. Thanks for another informative video.🧑‍🔧

Hi Charlie - loved the tour by train. I'm having a garden building put up, which might even get finished once the weather improves and the workmen return. They don't seem to waterproof them any longer. A saga in its own right. Sadly I won't quite be able to compete with your dimensions, but if you accept that mimicry is the highest form of flattery, I should be able to manage a 2 deck layout with a single helix and loops on both decks, to create a 3 dimensional tail chaser. I will have a branchline shuttle, and would like to get a DMU from the lower deck fiddle yard over to the branchline, which can be achieved either by sending it all the way round then backing it in, or (and make for more interesting trackwork), putting in crossing lines, using one diamond crossing and a slip as there are 2 up and 2 down lines. When I design the latter, AnyRail yells "reverse loop!" at me, which I'm sure is correct. What I am not sure about is how to solve it. I'm assuming a reverse loop widget, but where to place it, I know not. Anyway - that is a very long winded way of asking if you might produce a video on how wire up a more complex crossing, using a single or double slip. I did watch your earlier video on wiring of slips, but the added challenge here is how to deal with any resulting reverse loop issues cause by crossing a tail-chased layout. Phew.

What a heartwarming comment, Roy. I’m so pleased that you found the channel useful, 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 KZread. I look forward to seeing all your videos, short or long. Cheers from Wisconsin!

In the TMD area, have you thought about breaking each siding down into Loco sized blocks? This would mean that if a siding is long enough for 3 separate locos, it would have 3 separate blocks. Allowing iTrain to place a multiple locos into each siding.

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

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 KZread. Thanks again for another great vid.

@@ChadwickModelRailway Distracted by KZread, including this channel! In a way, thank goodness this pep-talk is only once per two weeks!

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
