Thanks for bringing us so much joy throughout the year, Charlie. Video production is so much more behind the scenes than we get to see here and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate all the effort you put in. Have a great Christmas and a very well-earned break.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Bill, that’s very kind of you to say so. Do you have a great Christmas and best wishes for 2025. Regards Charlie.

[@kieranbeecroft8414]

My friend lives less than 1 minute down the road from Rainbow railways, and I had no idea they were there until now! I will pop in there now, so thanks for bringing their existence to light

[@robinrye3964]

Much gentle smile inducing footage of running trains this week Charlie. Thank you. Complements of the season to you and all who see this.

[@philgardener7018]

This running sequence is amazing it really shows what you are trying to achieve with your railway.

[@williamj3843]

That is some beautiful running footage. I love the way you have created a sense of distance by using visual barriers between scenes. Your high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is noteworthy. As always, your photography really places us in the scene. Merry Christmas!

[@stevekeller4814]

The trains running scenes were great. Some of the best model railroad videos I’ve seen since looking at Allen Keller’s great stuff 15 or 20 years ago. The background music is a nice touch, if a bit ominous sounding. Really love and appreciate your channel, it’s always interesting!

[@steveksi]

Thanks for the running time. Very cool. Merry Christmas and a rolling New Year

[@charlesrussell8137]

Some great shots of your layout, Charlie. Those tankers look really good too. I do enjoy the videos showing multiple trains running around. Keep up the good work and a Happy Christmas. Charles

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Charles, that’s very kind of you to say so. Do have a great Christmas and best wishes for 2025. Regards Charlie.

[@johnchadwick4222]

Great review, just the right length, told me everything I needed to know. What is this obsession with things you can’t see. Merry Christmas

[@IronHorseRailways]

All together now boys and girls! "sack the signalman!" Have a lovely Christmas Charlie! See you soon hopefully!

[@jamescraft672]

Merry Christmas, Charlie! You're the best. As an American modeler, I'm always amused by the small size of British freight wagons (see, I'm learning!). But those tank wagons are beautiful, notwithstanding the delivered couplers. Your ability to cope with challenges always impresses me.

[@kevinheard8364]

I *really* liked that shot at the 14 minute mark :) great camera idea (coming up out of the helix was 'cool') As for the bloopers, I, too, do such things. I call it, "my (print) spooler is full" (I don't have anymore 'channels into my brain') ... and the same things happen :) Have a Merry Christmas

[@philippenaluna2312]

Interesting video, thanks Charlie. It's been a pleasure watching the development of Chadwick over the course of this year. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2025.

[@philabraham658]

Loved the various line-side camera angles. Have a great Christmas and look forward to what 2025 will bring

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

I was just going to say that it's so nice that you've worked to get such a great railway that you can get the trains running so well, and then I saw the outtakes, but that seems like it's more down to coordination and not how you've already done setting up the stuff. Wonderful! Merry Christmas to you too. Wish I was around there to see the club's stuff!

[@donsharpe5786]

Thanks for another years worth of videos covering a variety of topics, which are always worth watching. I hope you have a Good Christmas, an excellent Camel Model Railway exhibition and a Happy New Year.

[@Brettski777]

Thank you for all the inspiration this year Charlie . Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year. All the best. Brett.

[@davidberlanny3308]

Hi Charlie, a great running sequence which looks like a difficult job to have done!! Those tankers look just right. Thanks for all the videos always very enjoyable and interesting. Have a great Christmas!!

[@ColinPotts-u6f]

What a fantastic layout Charlie l like the Trans and tancers as well. From Colin

[@DavidLee-q4x]

Thank you Charlie a nice video. I enjoyed it very much especially the last bit accidents do happen. Thank you for showing us that. Hopefully perhaps may see you at the show we will see so please take care. Keep safe. Have a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year David.

[@michaeljamesdenniss2716]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Charlie and your good lady too

[@pauldarke8024]

Merry Christmas and happy new year Charlie. Another great year of Chadwick content.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Another cracking video Charlie. Once again I've been educated on the different wagon coupling considerations and thanks for sharing the bloopers, we all have the odd (or even) mishap. I wish you and yours a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year. If/when I get around to building a layout that's likely to be just a fraction of yours I'll be taking into account your guidance. I'm sure that when I get around to a build it will evolve a lot along the way to a point where there is always something that needs a tweak to keep my interest.

[@tonyslight826]

Hi Charlie that was a great video once again. I must say you have done great job through out this year given us all a insight to model railway build, given us lots tips and informing us what's out there for the for the railway modeller you are inspiration to us all showing some of us how its done and how it can be done. I don't care long some one has been doing railway modelling there is all ways something new that we discover from guys like you. I have been a railway modeller for yonks and I'm still picking up new way how to do it, and again watching you on KZbin gets me and I dare say a lot of others getting stuck in to our layouts. Thank you Charlie a MERRY Christmas and a happy and healthy new year to you and your family see you next year.

[@laszlokaestner5766]

Merry Christmas Charlie. Great video as always.

[@davidcox9672]

Merry Christmas to you, Margaret and family from Australia.

[@ronnyskaar3737]

Merry Christmas, Charlie!

[@arthurthorpe5445]

Great video as others have said very professional you have mastered the 'entertainment' value of your chanel. Looking forward to 2025 and more updates have a good one.

[@gary1anderson]

Showing the trains running was a nice change despite the challenges.

[@seanmmccarthy]

Hi Charlie, thank you for your wonderfully entertaining and informative videos. You have inspired this interested beginner to get stuck in and build a layout - nothing to your standard of course, it will be just a small inglenook shunting layout. Anyway... have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year - all the best from the colonies. Cheers!

[@TheHouseofWindsorAviary-oh4vw]

Nice running session! Love the bloopers and yes the coupling pockets on the Heljan locos are awful. I still don't think they have got them right after all these years. Happy Christmas to you and yours !!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Great video as always keep up the great video on channel merry Christmas thanks for the update and video you put out on channel thanks lee

[@rtalbot87]

I'm looking forward to next year's editions already. Have family visiting on the 28th, unfortunately, so will not see you in the Village Hall. Hopefully, you will provide a video overview for myself, and others, who cannot make it. Wishing you yet another successful year.

[@spiderhead1494]

Another good vid Merry Christmas Charlie.

[@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711]

Thanks for another year of well crafted and presented videos Charlie. Best Wishes for Christmas to you and your family. Kind regards Peter from downunder.

[@Mark-z1l]

Thanks for all the fantastic videos that you have posted up this year that have inspired me so much. Keep on doing what you do. Merry Christmas Charlie 🙂

[@alancope9962]

Great as always Charlie

[@SuperRobertwillis]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one charlie merry Christmas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@lesliegprice6652]

Thanks for all the wonderful content , a very Happy Christmas Charlie , and all the best wishes for the New Year 🌈🙏😎

[@SuperRobertwillis]

PS and a happy new year charlie and family 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@johnodonoghue7381]

Nice one Chas

[@wamgoc]

Excellent video, as usual Charlie, this is why you’re the Number One for me, as so many other UTubers don’t pay attention when adding music to their videos! It either defends you or they try to talk over it and it is impossible to hear what they are saying!! Well done!👏 A Merry Christmas to you and your family and I’m planning to visit West Camel on the 28th for your show!😊 See you there!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

That’s most kind. Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year and hopefully I’ll see you on the 28th. Regards, Charlie.

[@ClydebridgeStation]

I've got three locos on my layout, from Rainbow Railways, 47004, 47583, 47599. I bought 47004 at their stall, at Model Rail Scotland 2024, and went to Scoonie Hobbies, my local model shop, to get a decoder. Try as we might, we couldn't get the loco to run on their test track. Taken the next Saturday to Rainbow railways, who rang Scoonie, to get full details on the problem, and the following Saturday, 47004 had a new decoder, and the electronic problem was also sorted out.

[@adamkerr4600]

Great video Charlie merry Christmas to you and a happy new year 🎄🎄🎄🎄🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🚂🚂🚂

[@robot7759]

Just say "No" so they'll send you a dozen cars 😆 Happy holidays and best wishes.

[@richardwalker_]

I thought you’d got a very realistic new container near the signal box, even with a flashing light - until I realised that it was a camera… merry Christmas.

[@peterjones1065]

Great video Charlie. One thing, I think my hearing must be getting a bit ragged in old age but I found I couldn't separate the loco sound from the music which was a shame.

[@judahmac1799]

Im a fan of Marklin's close couplings because i collect european modelds as well as British models and i want the option of being able to link up both models if necessary. My American models/models that prototypically have knuckle couplers have kadee scale couplers.

[@malminstral]

Nice review of the wagons, they seem to work well around your layout being pulled by the loco's, but what were they like being pushed over switched points? Great video as always, I enjoy watching, thank you.

[@Blue68Camaro]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks B68C, and the same to you and yours. Regards, Charlie.

[@ianbusby2845]

Ooh nooo,Charlie’s gone to the dark side! Music aaarrgh Was that slogan”let the train do the walking”? Now “let the models do the talking” Merry Xmas Charlie,layouts looking great🎉 (Oops it was “ let the train take the strain” 😱)

[@howardavins9234]

Hi again Charlie. Love to see a good running session after all that work. Thanks so much for entertaining and inspiring me throughout the year. My retirement is a better place because of your fortnightly episodes . All the very best to you and your family for the season. Wish I could make your club day, maybe one day. Looking forward to next years offerings. Stay safe mate and thank you so much. Howard and Catherine.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks, Howard, and I do hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. I’m sure we’ll catch up in the New Year, regards Charlie.

[@TheSonofruss]

I was wondering if on your side of the pond if the rail system requires buffer cars between caustic or hazardous materials over here we are required to have a buffer car filled with sand or empty. Happy Christmas Charlie

[@farmerdave7965]

Why is your shunter missing its cab ?

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Do you mean the Class 13?

[@chugwaterjack4458]

Well done, as are all your videos. Obviously you are a professional videographer and modeller, with a passion for both. Your 241 videos (to date) have been the primary source for me to go from an empty room to four mainlines, a big fiddle yard, an eight-coach long four line station with a passing loop, a steam servicing yard, a helix, and full DCC operation, in eighteen months! (Don't get too impressed, only the station has rudimentary platforms - the rest is raw baseboards and trackage.) You are my primary source. The eye-level shots with the extreme depth of field really put me trackside! Outstanding! Having said that, I wish you and yours a Happy Christmas and a very fruitful New Year. Carry on!

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Jack, please be aware I am certainly no professional videographer! More an enthusiastic but diligent amateur! Have a great Christmas, regards Charlie

[@JLGadgetguy26]

A very Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and Margaret 🎄🎄 Christmas wouldn't be complete without a couple a CMR bloopers 😅. Thanks for another great year of content Charlie.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks JL, that’s very kind of you to say so. Have a great Christmas, regards Charlie.

[@EastMidsUK]

Hey Charlie, superb video as always. I love your layout and enthusiasm. I'm currently building a OO gauge layout, but it won't be anywhere near as good as yours. I'm going traditional DC purely due to the amount of DC stock I have. No fault of yours, but what really annoys me is hearing the DCC control knob clicks in videos. You don't get these clicks on DC, so why do DCC controllers do it. Takes a bit of the realism away for me. Keep up the good work. Dave

[@adrianolsen-woodhamwoodtur4980]

Nice video Charlie. Not my era either, but always good to see trains running on your fantastic layout…….I wish you and your family a fabulous Festive Season and I’ll look forward to seeing further progress at Chadwick, in 2025. All the very best

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Adrian, that’s very kind of you to say so have a great Christmas, and best wishes for 2025. Regards Charlie.

[@marklaidlay6842]

Why not run both sets of points of one "switch" when the turnouts form a cross-over? That would have prevented that 'camera into trucks' incident.

[@pmichael73]

Great footage and great review of the wagons! Love the dramatic shots - and the out-takes, too!

[@akrills]

Great, as ever. Do have a relaxing Christmas and New Year. Best wishes, Eric.

[@sespach]

Many happy returns to you and Mrs. Chadwick. I’m building a very small N scale Trolley line winter display which I’ll send you a picture of later.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks mate, and do you have a great Christmas. Regards, Charlie.

[@barryturner2916]

Enjoyable and interesting running session Charlie so many thanks. A massive thank you and your channel for 2024 so it is a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2025 to you and your family, stay safe and kind regards Barry. 🎅🎄

[@mikeryan959]

Great video as always - thank you. Honesty through bloopers is also lovely.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Mike, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. Have a great Christmas, regards Charlie.

[@tomwheeler8728]

Nice running of trains Mr Bishop and have a great Christmas

[@simonbradshaw3708]

Thank you Charlie for another really informative and enjoyable year of videos. Have a long earned rest, have a lovely Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2025.

[@acftus]

Lovely video Charlie. Nice to see some trains running and the bloopers at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed all the presentations this year, very informative and well presented. Have a lovely break over Christmas and New Year and best wishes to you and Mrs B. Regards Kevin

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Kevin, that’s very kind of you to say so. I do hope you have a great Christmas a happy 2025 but do stay safe. Regards, Charlie.

[@CabSav2010]

Thank you Charlie for another year of excellent videos. There is always something of interest each fortnight, well photographed, easily explained for the layman (thinking particularly of the electronic side of the hobby) and just great fun!

[@leestoddart7014]

Great stuff as always Charlie. Lovely to see some trains running through the layout. It did see that the one coming down the incline behind the (future) Chadwick Parkway Station was gathering speed as it went down. Thanks for all the videos in 2024, have a good Christmas break and look forward to the next episode.

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks Lee, that’s very kind of you to say so. Using Ed’s rolling stock was a real challenge. All the inertia settings had been removed from his locos! Have a great Christmas, regards Charlie

[@michaelimpey1407]

Charlie, great review on what looks like a really good model of the TUA tanker wagons. Thank you Really good to see some trains running, that is always a bonus, but I really enjoy all your conteant. Thank you for a very entertaining 2024. and I look forward to an informative 2025. I wish you and Margaret a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year. I hope that Santa brings you soem very i\good train goodies. Cheers, stay safe, and Happy Modelling, Michael

Nice to see a reference to Rainbow Railways at Linlithgow - it's the only model shop that I have visited that shares its floor space with a children's soft play! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@howardwebster2222]

Nice looking tank wagons I must say I will see you on the 28th with my couple of mates one of course being Richard or more commonly know by your club as Richard 37 Have a great Christmas Charlie Best wishes Howard

[@bryan_lane]

I must get myself one of those NEM Pocket height gauges ! Great to see some trains running around Charlie, and it’s good to see I’m not the only one constantly under investigation by the RAIB 🤣 Those TUA wagons are certainly a very nice looking model. Though like you, I can never see the point of adding extra costs to models with all that underframe detail ! Thanks for all your hard work in the production of your videos throughout 2024 Charlie, can’t believe we find ourselves nearly at the end of yet another year ! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Margaret. I look forward to your continued productions and hope to see you again in 2025. Take care mate 👍🏻

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Thanks, Brian, it’s comments such as yours that make the whole thing worthwhile. Have a great Christmas and a prosperous 2025. Regards, Charlie.

[@bigbear333uk1]

Thanks again for a great video Charlie Love the music but can you tell me what it is please?

[@bigbear333uk1]

I forgot to say Happy Christmas and a Happy new year to you and your family

[@SabotsLibres]

Nice to see trains running... I have a question, when the 37 came down onto the mainline, after the HST passed the block, the signal turned directly from red to green; the same thing happened when the DMU left the branch with the 56 waiting - I would have thought that the lights would go from red to orange since the following block is occupied (although, on reflection, with track switching the successive blocks possibly are free...). Merry Christmas and all best for the new year for you and Margaret.

[@Tez_Thorn1405]

It's the 12 wagons of Christmas

[@ChadwickModelRailway]

Gosh Tez, I never thought of that! Regards Charlie

[@peterkazmierczak7273]

Most disappointing, Charlie; no Santa hat... Happy Christmas!

[@timstrainvideos142]

I hope these tua wagons get made in n gauge next

[@theelectricmonk3909]

Many thanks Charlie for another year of informative and entertaining videos, it's always a "drop everything" on Friday afternoon when a new one comes out! Question - Once your layout is "finished" (in quotes, they're never finished, we all know that!) will you be working it in a similar way to McKinley? i.e. some automated trains doing their thing, whilst you operate the branch station, or the freight yard for example? I seem to recall some time ago you were getting your DMU to run autonomously from the branch station to the main station, but I can't recall if that's still a feature, or not. Wishing you all the best for Christmas, and looking forward to another year of (literally) award-winning videos!

[@alsmith5604]

Another great video Charlie. Thanks for another year of entertaining videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year.
