While we're sorting out things in the garden department (kit restock soon!) I'm working away on some TT related things. Namely, standard gauge for the first time! Seen here posed up next to the narrow gauge kits we already make. #modelrailway #tt120

TT120 Scale standard gauge (the LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST) and narrow gauge (TT9 and TT6.5, or TTm and TTe overseas) all posed up together.

Our first 16mm Scale locomotive kit is out! This Fletcher Jennings Townsend Hook / William Finley respectively can be now added to your garden railways. Get it here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18892496... We might just create a new account for the garden stuff! #gardenrailway #narrowgauge #3dprinting

This 3D printed PETG and resin kit comes with several parts ready to assemble. Alongside metal components, motor and gears to have your loco ready for running. Please note batteries, RC elements and switches are not included.

A Fletcher Jennings E Class, built from the idea of the B Class prior, is an 0-4-0T locomotive made for branch railways and quarries. Two examples were built for the 3ft 2in Dorking Greystone Lime Company, named "Townsend Hook" and "William Finley" in early 1880s. Both saw improvements over the years, before ultimately being sold off in the 1960s.

First of all a wagon based on the Plynlimon and Hafan Tramway 5 Ton, now preserved at the Vale of Rheidol Railway, followed by a freelance variant with 3-planks. Next, a freelance wagon based on the Snailbeach District Railway chassis, with duel tanks on top. Partly inspired by something similar that ran on the Talyllyn Railway. As well, a small coal wagon also based on the Snailbeach chassis.

OUT NOW The NG7 / O-16.5 Gauge "Hawin" Mineral 0-4-0T locomotive body kit. Link here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35876690... A freelance 0-4-0 inspired by the many early OO9 models, designed to fit the Bachmann Quarry Hunslet chassis (not included). #modelrailway #narrowgauge #trains

The "Hawin" engine (as it has been nicknamed) is a off the shelf mineral tank, designed to an 0-4-0T configuration built in 1912 to be used on various tramways and industrial lines across the world. It is currently unknown what origins this locomotive has, or even who it was built by but several examples of this type have been seen on countless railways, heritage or working across the years. It takes a lot of design cues from Andrew Barclay engines, but the resemblance is only superfluous.

OUT NOW A OO9 Gauge release, the Kerr Stuart "Waterloo" locomotive. Link here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35866802... It is designed to fit the Bachmann Peter Sam chassis with some slight modifications, making it a representative of the class in 2ft Gauge. #modelrailway #narrowgauge #oo9gauge

The "Waterloo" class of locomotive is a 0-4-2T standard design created and built by Kerr Stuart and Company. Most examples ran on standard gauge rails, one being for the Corringham Light Railway. Many were built for 3ft gauge railways across the years, one running at the Redlake Tramway.

It is designed to fit the Bachmann Peter Sam chassis with some slight modifications, thus some creative liberties have been taken to make it a representative of the class on 2ft Gauge. This resin printed kit, comes with a single body piece, x1 cab roof section and x1 static chassis.

Back home from the Porthmadog Model Show! Two days over in quick succession, but it was a different and fun one for us being right next to the Ffestiniog and indeed the sea for the first time for one of these events. #modelrailway #narrowgauge #ffestiniograilway #trains

Overview of the whole stand. I think we're going to need another set of shelves soon! For this event we wanted to make the stand a bit more colourful, to that end spent a lot of nights up to the day of the show painting everything!

The NG7 section, mainly showing the three Englands, "Palmerston" and the Manning Wardle in, somewhat liveries that work.

The O9 and OO9 section. The Heywood kits were a lot of fun to paint up, opting to do the tram "Arthur" in a maroon to make it a bit different. Very happy with the Exmoors! And my partner did a wonderful job on the Drewry.

Got a triple release! An O9 Gauge Class 04 inspired diesel aswell as a Heywood tram variant of the Ursula locomotive. The trams fit the popular Kato 11-109 while the outside crank variant fits an Farish 08. Get them here: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/gubbin-b... #modelrailway #3dprinting #narrowgauge

This kit is intended to be a diesel locomotive based on the BR Class 04, scaled down to Minimum Gauge as a sort of "What if" BR had built 15inch gauge railways instead of standard gauge railways, specifically when fitted with tramskirts for road running. Designed to fit the Kato 11-109 chassis.

"Arthur" is a tramway locomotive in the style of Sir Arthur Heywood locomotives for use on minimum gauge tramways and mineral lines. If minimum gauge had taken off, a few probably would have housed tram engines running the lines that weaved through streets and farmlands. To that end, many would have to be adapted to suit, thus the Heywood Tram. Bolted on side plates to stop any sheep or badgers from getting underneath the locomotive during travel!

This kit is intended as a tram version of the Heywood "Shelagh" and "Ursula" locomotive which ran at Eaton Hall, to fit the KATO 11-109.

As minimum gauge railways took hold over the years, the UKs most heavy industrial lines needed to modernise quickly in order to keep up with the world. In 1952, several of these types were supplied by Drewry Car Co, to be used as departmental diesel shunters in the various yards, quarries or tramways. The class was widely used by BMR (British Minimum Railways), being the popular choice for shunter. Though due to a large amount of surplus, the class started to see a big decline as larger diesel locomotives started being built; such as the "Ashford" class. They found another popular spot in heritage railways through the years, as a number of them are preserved.

This kit is intended to be a diesel locomotive based on the BR Class 04, scaled down to Minimum Gauge as a sort of "What if" BR had built 15inch gauge railways instead of standard gauge railways. Designed to fit the Graham Farish 08 chassis.
