I'm having a go at making a N6.5 kit (N scale, narrow gauge) It's a test print of the tram to see if it's come out ok. It's a dummy that'll be propelled by a rokuhan shorty chassis, im working on a coach body to go over it. Hopefully, it'll be on display at the show on the 31st!

The new chassis have arrived on the shop! And a re-stock of Kato chassis too. As these sell, they'll help fund a bigger variety of donor chassis for kits! 😄🚂🚃🚃 doublemmodels.etsy.com

There's a couple painted examples of my kits for sale at the moment on eBay! These have been very well painted (not by me). If you'd like one of my kits but don't fancy all the paintwork then check these out! 😁👌 ebay.us/m/8FgrQd

Less than 10 days to go until the Bournville Show! An exhibition outside the Cadbury's Factory in Birmingham to help cosmetically restore their former locomotive. There's a great lineup! This is also the first of many shows that I'll be at this year! If you're in the area, be sure to come along! 😁🚂

The Baldwin fleet grows! I've made 2 new tender locomotive kits that are based on the 10-12-D design. Also, the store's just had an upgrade, with new railway inspired icons and bigger images. So go have a look at what's changed and what's new! 😁🚂🚃🚃 doublemmodels.etsy.com

Here we are! After the long wait, the LNER Y6 kit is on the shop. It's going to be available in N scale for now, but an OO gauge version isn't out of the question. If you'd like one, or to see what else I've been working on, check the link! 😁 doublemmodels.etsy.com/listing/4442...

Another re-stock of chassis is on the way! This time I've got some Tsugawa Yokou chassis coming to the range I stock. There's also more Kato 11-105 chassis coming, they're not sold out yet but there's only a few left! These will be on the shop before the end of the month. 😁👍

Another new kit release! "The Baldwin", that was the nickname of the 4th locomotive of the Glyn Valley Tramway. Despite running along the road, it never had tram skirts fitted! So this is my version with them added. 😁 doublemmodels.etsy.com/listing/4440...

Still at work on the Y6 class kit, but in the meantime, I've made a little static Koppel chassis! Good for keeping locos in sidings if you don't want to buy too many Koppel A chassis. I'll get to work on more types soon! You can get them here on the shop; doublemmodels.etsy.com/listing/4439...

I've been cooking up a new kit! Here's a tiny little tram! It's not a J70, it's actually the earlier Y6 class. And yes, it's N scale. And yes, it can be motorised! This kit has been designed for a TU-16A chassis. Coming out soon! 😁

Well, better late than never! I've spent some time wiring up the Rail200 board. I've just got the points left to automate, and then I can start on the scenic work. Since I've got a little more time on my hands, I'm gonna get some modelling work done this Xmas! 😁🚂🚃🚃

Well, look at that! I've got too many locos to restore already, but I couldn't help myself when I saw this Dukedog. I've been working on her for most of the day, and I'm close to having her running again! 😁

It's a midnight 2-2-2 update! It's living up to it's name "problem class"

I'll be at Great Eastern Models this Saturday for their mini exhibition with my kits for sale! Drop by and say hi! I'll have some painted examples with me and I'll have my test track setup too. Maybe even something new to show off!

Well, I finally did it! This Saturday, I got to drive a steam locomotive! The CJS Heritage Engineering open day was great! We raised money for The Glyn Valley Tramway Trust and our new build loco. Go follow us on facebook to see updates on the project!

The well wagon returns! Now carrying this extra special load. This is a LNWR Problem Class locomotive. It arrives in the same condition that Cornwall did almost a year ago now! There'll be more updates on her as the restoration process gets under way! 😁

A special departed from the yard earlier. This diesel is off to pastures new. It's a long old journey, but the well wagon won't be empty when the train returns! Stay tuned! 😁

Things are coming together for this weekend! If you're in the area, come see the GVT Trust and our engineering partners CJS Heritage Engineering this Saturday at Clarington Forge, Wigan, WN1 3BT.

Etsy's cyber sales week has started! I'm taking part with 15% off everything on the shop until the 2nd of December! I'll be working on getting more kits back in stock this week as some have already sold out! Head on over and take a look - doublemmodels.etsy.com

Hi everyone! The Glyn Valley Tramway is a part of an event this weekend in Wigan! There'll be steam rollers, live steam locos, and even GVT rolling stock on display that's been restored by the CJS team! If you're in the area then come by and see us! I'll be there too helping out!

Good greif! These old Peco trams are a nightmare to build! The castings are all over the place!! Well, I might be able to get this looking nice, but time will tell... 😂🤞

It's the craft fare takeover!! Who doesn't want small trains at the market! 😂👍

Well, the trams are getting quite busy! I've been to a few model shops recently and picked up quite a lot of figures! 😁

A bit of "prep work" for the local Craft Fare on Saturday! I'm trying to organise a new model railway club for my area so wish me luck! 😂😁👍

I've got some motorised chassis back in stock on the shop! Kato's 11-109 and 11-105's. You can order them with your kits and save some money on postage! These sell out fast on my shop, but I'll be ordering more when they do, and I'll try to get some more types! Have a look; doublemmodels.etsy.com

Hey look! It's another project loco that I'll spend weeks intermittently restoring!! 😂

Cleaned up the track on my layout and ran a quick test train! I'm glad it's all working OK, it's the 1st time I've ran a train on it in months and months! I might be bringing it along with me to a local event in November.

The difference almost 5 years makes! This is my original that started it all, and now it's had an update! The new one will be out early next week and also at the Waley At Statfold show this weekend. The sales of the kits there will go towards restoring the Glyn Valley Tramway! 😁

Stay tuned for a special update this weekend! Something new is coming at warley from DoubleM and I can guarantee one thing; "No one even makes this anymore" - Owner of DoubleM Models.

My friend sent me these photos of my 'Matchbox Diesel' kit that he's built, and he's done an awesome job! 😁 If you like the look of these, you can find the kits on my store; doublemmodels.etsy.com

I've spent a few days restoring this Langley Models kit of the Darjeeling B class and here she is!! She was in a sorry state when I got her but all her missing parts were in the box. I stripped all the paint and glue until everything was back to kit form and went from there!

Well it's definitely summer 🔥🔥 And I think that means it's time for a summer sale! There's a whopping 25% off my kits if you buy 2 or more until the end of June! 😁 doublemmodels.etsy.com

Lots happening at the GVT! Concrete has been poured so we can start rebuilding our station building, and today, our frames for Locomotive No.5 have arrived!

The little Peckett W6 kits are now up on the store! I might do some more N scale bodykits in the future, I have a few locos in mind! doublemmodels.etsy.com/listing/4322...

I'm taking a little venture into a new scale! This is the 1st print I've done for N gauge. It's a little Peckett W6 made for a 'Koppel A' chassis. I've got a few more little tweaks to do, but it's on track to be released on Monday! 😁

I now have a range of rollingstock bodyshell kits! These are all the kits I'm doing in the 1st phase, but there will be more in the future and I'll also be doing some multipacks. There's 10% off when you buy multiple items until the 23rd of June! Go take a look! - doublemmodels.etsy.com

Big news from the GVT! Memberships for the trust are live! They'll get you access to regular updates via our news letter, access to members only events, and early access to ticketed events. You'll also have the ability to get more involved in the tramway! glynvalleytramwaytrust.co.uk/memberships

We're all set up and ready to have an amazing weekend! If you're visiting Statfold, then you can't miss us at the GVT stand!

It's not long now until the Summer Spectacle of Steam at Statfold Barn! If you're visiting this weekend, then be sure to drop by and say hi to us at the Glyn Valley Tramway stand and see all that we're doing to rebuild the line!

More rolling stock kits are on the way! Like this brake van; coming out on the shop soon. It makes a nice little train when matched with my Quarryman's coach and Falcon locomotive! 😁

Huge thanks to SteR for reviewing my model kits on his channel! It’s always awesome seeing my kits out in the wild – and SteR did an amazing job with these! Definitely check out his video and give him a follow – he's got some great content! youtu.be/x-1fu_S_xgk?...

If you're attending Statfold's Spectacle of Steam event on the 7th and 8th of June, come and see the GVT stand! We'll have books and merch for sale. I'll also be selling DoubleM model kits, and it all goes towards rebuilding the tramway!

A quick preview of my next kit! I really enjoyed working on this one and researching the Darjeeling Himilayan Railway in India. Look out for its release this Thursday!

My next kit is out on the shop! The Unusual 4ft gauge Padarn Railway Hunslet loco. Three of these locos were built, but only a few parts still exist from one of the locos, Velinheli. Now their old line is gone, but the Llanberis Lake Railway follows their old route along the shore of Llyn Pararn!

Quick preview of my next kit! with a twist! The Padarn Railway was built to 4ft gauge. But because OO scale isn't perfect, the 16mm gauge works out pretty much at 4ft! And EM gauge is much closer to standard gauge at 18mm. So I've invented a new scale as there can't be too many! this will be... EMn4

Until the 3rd of May, there's 15% off on all my kits over on my etsy store! So if there's something you've been wanting for a while, then nows your chance! Go check them all out at - doublemmodels.etsy.com

I've been working on a new diesel kit, and here it is! It's inspired by the old matchbox toys, but someone pointed out it also bears a resemblance to Vlad from the Corris Railway. Either way, I'm really happy with how this one came out! Check it and my other kits out here! - doublemmodels.etsy.com

I forgot to share the finished picture of the Avonside B3! Here she is in the classic red that I paint most of my stock. 😁👍

My Peco Rail200 baseboard has arrived! So I've started planning what I want to make, there's some clues already with what's on the board. 😁👍

Here's another returning kit! This is modelled after a Fletcher Jennings A class. It's accurate to the original design, but with tramskirts added to hide away the Kato 109 chassis. Check it out here! - doublempro.etsy.com/listing/1246...
