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...

Earlier this year, I switched over to some new printers! As a result, I've been slowly updating my models, and I've re-built this older model long missing from my store. This is a Sentinel vertical boiler steam locomotive. The new version here is smaller and easier to print! doublempro.etsy.com

I've got a new kit out now on my etsy shop! This is an Avonside B3 class, made for the Electrotren 0-6-0 chassis. doublempro.etsy.com/listing/1885...

Well, it's the start of a new month and an important update from DoubleM - following the introduction of "MMM Models" new product, we're rebranding to QuadrupleM! We're not being outdone by the competition! Stay tuned! youtu.be/6NNrM-PwcGA?...

We're off on an adventure!

The highlight of my weekend was getting to see Cornwall run down the Ffarquahr Branch! The highlight of her weekend was causing confusion and delay!

Well, I picked up some very interesting items yesterday at the London festival! Stay tuned...

It's that time again!! 😁

Suffolk! That's right up my neck of the woods!

What a great 1st day at statfold! And I get to do it all again tomorrow! My kits are available on the trust's stand, and every penny raised goes to restoring the line! Be sure to pop over and say hi if you can! 😁

Look out for the GVTT at Statfold Barn Railway this weekend, as we are exhibiting at their “Spectacle of Steam” event. It’s sure to be a great weekend, and we look forward to seeing you there. Any donations are welcome!

So, who's headed to Stafold's Spectacle of Steam next weekend? If so I'll see you there! 😁

An update on Cornwall! She gained a tender last night! Since her last appearance, her paintwork has had a touch-up and her missing buffer has been replaced.

The new Falcon tram pulling a rake of trucks. 😁

New loco kit just dropped! This larger version of the Corris Flacon loco with added tram skirts for the Kato 11-109 chassis. doublempro.etsy.com/listing/1877...

I've done a little work getting the tramway running again! Some points fell apart and needed repairs. It's meant to be on show again in a few months' time, and there'll be a few more fixes and upgrades before then, so stay tuned!

WIP Wednesday This is my WIP 'Allymack' long boiler 0-6-0, a freelance design designed to act as a pre 1900s heavy narrow gauge goods locomotive. It's inspired by Beyer and M&GWR practice and will run on the Farish 08 mechanism

Good Evening everyone, we're starting off this new page with what I hope to be a weekly model post. While the weather is still simply frigid a snowplough seems appropriate This is the Weardale Lead Co's plough now preserved at Beamish.

Well... the inevitable has happened, and I've made a start on *another* layout... this started out of curiosity, I wanted to know what stock would make it round a bend this tight. Now my plan is to slowly turn this into a little tramway with sections of street running!

A 3D render of LNWR's Cornwall in about 1848.

I've made up a tender chassis with pickups for Cornwall, and now she finally runs right and can pull trains! With the mechanical problems fixed, I can move on to designing a tender body and replacing that missing front buffer.

After hours of tinkering, she's running again! She still isn't working as well as I'd like but I think I can improve on that... Next up though; she needs a tender.

And off she goes!!! Oh wait...

Can't wait!!

So ive spent most of the day trying to repair this locomotive. This is the only way I can get her to work so far 😂😅

My newest locomotive has arrived, and I'm so happy to have got her! She needs a fair bit of TLC, so let the restoration begin!! 😁😁😁
