Amazing results, but getting there makes my brain melt!

What an amazing little tip for fixing fish plates. Thanks Charlie. _ i be caught up soon I promise

Thanks Charlie - it has simplified what should have been a simplified task that has been over complicated with all the different products and advice. Unfortunately as I run steam and many have traction tyres I am unable to use the oxy but the grasphite block sounds a great investment. I also didn’t know about the IPA and percentage.

Loved the intro. Can just see track being pinned out on the washing lines across the land 😂. Your sense of humour sure hits the spot. Thanks Charlie

Another amazing and informative video. I don’t know how you dared prize one of the locos apart I would for sure have broken it. Great piece of advice at the end. If it ain’t broke dont fix it. It is a shame that manufacturers don’t make it easy to service and maintain. As a N gauger not sure that is a proper word but i will leave any serious servicing to an expect when needed.

Some of the finest Chinesium under review. The race to the lowest cost!

Brilliant video Charlie

Hi Charlie! I'm new to the hobby and have been binge watching you're videos for a while now. I've found so much useful information that the hobby doesn't seem quite so scary now (shame it doesn't make it any cheaper though!). I'm currently building up a batch of Airfix/Parkside vans and wagons and these couplings look ideal. Will be loosing those nasty large D ring couplings from my other rolling stock too. All the items you listed in the video now duly ordered....and have another subscriber! Cheers! Steve

Hi Charlie many years ago I saw a chap mixing paint in the tin like you, he had a spare tinlet lid with a central hole in it with a diameter just slightly larger than the shaft of the mixing tool. Kept the paint in the tin but of course it will require cleaning between colours. 👍

Enjoying your videos Charlie! My shunting layout is nowhere near as complex as yours as it's only DC but probably getting on for just as expensive haha. I did find your videos on wiring useful as it's the first proper layout I've done, at the moment I'm struggling to get some suitable legs for it as I intended to have it supported by trestles when I planned and built it.

is there a link to membership application please

Some use inox on the loco wheels no trouble at all nice one as always.

Thanks Charlie another helpful video.

Great Video Charlie, good luck with the paint mixing 👍

Hi Charlie Thanks for the video - lots of useful information especially in respect of cleaning the airbrush.

Great little mini series. Thanks Charlie 👍

Charlie maybe use red lead as a primer rather than white

Structural steel is often coated with red oxide primer and its possible that the steel frames of the wagons were too. You can get it in aerosols for use in car bodywork. ( I have no knowledge of model railways but enjoy your videos! )

Hi Charlie! Cleaning of the airbrush is always a necessary evil but it must be done

Thankyou for the tips and video Charlie

Charlie. PM me. I am a qualified structural engineer and building inspector. Your assessment of retaining walls is not quite right. Sorry.

Thanks Charlie another great video

On my old layout I used the PM1 and PM2 solenoid point motors and agree they make a lot of noise. For new layout have ordered the first 6. Thanks Charlie for review sounds a much better plan

Hi was watching a you tube video like you do just one of your great quotes and it was about the class 13 which l think you have at chadwick and it was carrying out it’s duties for the day at Tinsley yard not far from where l live in Sheffield and as the narrator said in his Yorkshire accent then it was up T ‘top shed l think it was in the 70’s 80’s great of days shunting class 37’s taking their loads class 76’s joining the Woodhead line from Tinsley marshalling yards great days for trains when we were kids hope l have’nt dirupted your Sunday anyway take care mate have a nice day Best wishes Kev Beighton Parkway

As per normal Charlie, absolutely clear, precise, and to the point. What is really good is, no ums and rs.

I wonder if a red oxide primer would give you a closer match in the final colour? Though I must admit to not being overly impressed by Precision colours, though that maybe due to my eyesight!

It's nice to watch your videos again this one in particular and it's always good to get passenger trains marshalled right I have the basic principle of 1st class at the London end of the train and the standard class at the other and the catering vehicle separating the first and the stand ard

Charlie I hope you are going to have a well earned rest today , Thankyou to all members for a fantastic day.

For me, this has been a good Introduction to Airbrushing, thank you. I have been given a 2nd hand airbrush (just the airbrush), but I see that it is a lot of work. Maybe I will try it one day, but I will have to get a compressor, mask, etc. before I do. Thank you again.

Hi again Charlie Have no real intention to paint but love the video. Just good to watch someone so well organised. Do enjoy extra episodes On the Off week. Thanks for your efforts. Stay safe. Howard

Thanks Charlie, I really appreciated these tutorials. It would be great to have some lessons on how to weather rolling stock. cheers, Graeme

Really great, thank-you Charlie! Best use and cleaning I've seen, may buy an air brush now.

I wouldn't be allowed to do any of that on our wagons.track and wheel cleaner is the only thing I'm trusted to do Charlie 😂😂😂😂😂❤

Hi Charlie, I loved watching your video from 6 years ago (and all the others by the way!), providing amazing insight on the subject for me as a late beginner to railway modelling. This may be a school boy question; did each end of the loco always have the same head code when operating? Thank you for imparting your vast knowledge and experience.

What a beautiful sight

Hi Charlie, enamel vs acrylic paint. I thought you might like to know that Valejo has a range of acrylic paint called Mecha Color. This range is apparently harder wearing than the model air range, I have bought 2 bottles to try. I've also found that repainting wagons in precision late BR bauxite does not match any of my bauxite wagons from various manufacturers.

What an amazing difference.

fab video Charlie i have quite a few of these HAAs but i dont think i would have the patience to do what you are doing also never noticed the rivets as always very interesting to watch how things like this are done so thank you for taking the time and effort and bonus we all only have to wait a week for your next video

Wow reminds me of back in the day while being underway not sure Im that flexi these days. Great video

Oh no not a "Rivet counter" 😂😉 lol

I have some of the Hornbyk HAA MGR Coal hoppers, some 'new' (well new a few years back) some pre love/owned/seconed hand) ones, some of the have/had the older style large tension lock couplings, and some with the smaller ones. As I had some smaller couplings from a set by Bachmann, I super glued them in place of the bigger couplings, and have a couple of converter wagons, and I am rather happy with them. Yes they could be lifted up with some weathering. But I am not one for investing in a airbrush that I might not get much use if any out of, as I could invest the cost in say a new Class 31. or something. But watching your videos is always good, and we all learn something from them!

Hi Charlie My Wife and I have just got back to Brighton and once again we would like to extend our Deepest Thanks and Gratitude to yourself and the rest of the West Camel Club for putting on yet another Brilliant Open Day it was well worth the trip just to chat to the guys the layout’s were an added bonus. We cannot thank the Team enough for taking time out to chat to me and swimbo and making us feel so welcome. I even managed to pick up a Beautiful Class 416 with my pocket money and get some very interesting freebie books Keep up the good the Great work we would love to join your Club but I feel the trip from Sussex every Weekend would be a bit too much

Very interesting Charlie . Just for your interest I wouldn't get to hung up on the difference in colours of the hoppers .My late uncle worked for BREL in Glasgow in the paint shop .You'd be amazed at the variations in liveries on locos in the 70/80's . BR blue locos were different hues of blue depending on the manufacturer of paint . A loco could be different colours on each side . It wasn't unknown for different paints to be mixed together to save money and time . Loved the rivet counting are you going to the dark side 🤣🤣🤣

Another cracking video Charlie. I've never tried airbrushing but with your knowledge of different devices and tips you shared previously I might just give it a go at some point after a lot of practice of course. It looks very easy to get it wrong. Cleaning the airbrush is clearly paramount to be with half a chance of not ruining the airbrush as you mention. Many thanks for sharing.

Rivet counting on Chadwick Model Railway... What's the world coming to?

Hi Charlie would you please do a video on weathering a loco with a air brush.

Charlie, thanks for your video. There must be paint in the seals of the brush because there was some silver paint on the needle after withdrawal. The series of airbrush videos from Utube 'scale model Workshop is the best I have found anywhere, and he treats this topic, including the often recommended practice of 'backflushing' the brush during cleaning and to unblock whilst destroying a model. I don't want to say too much more because lack of models being finished means I am out of practissssse. Yes: for me it's a verb.

Charlie, great video as always. I am a scale modeller as well as a railway modeller, and extra rviets is a common thing and removing the rivets from the more modern wagons is not hard. Either use a straight edge razor blade or a modelling chisel. Are you are repainting them, anyway, they will look fine,
