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!

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! 😁

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! 😁

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!

Not just scale though, the same railway!

DoubleM Models @doublem-models.bsky.social · May 2

This uses the Electrotren 0-6-0 chassis. It's a very tight fit and I've not come across any alternative that will work.

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

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

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.
