Great day out at the Kirklees Light Railway Gala last weekend, with 2 visiting locos I spent a lot of time with in my younger days as a volunteer on the Ravenglass and Eskdale. Really well run event too, everything ran like clockwork! #steamtrain #trains #narrowgauge

A top-down shot of a narrow railroad track forming the shape of the letter H. Two parallel, rusted steel rails run vertically over a horizontal heavy wooden sleeper. The ground under the track is a layer of thick grey stones.

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.

A narrow-gauge steam engine pulling a passenger train around a bend in a quaint station. The engine is directly facing the camera with two white headcode discs and a bright red bumper that look like a happy face. Thick white steam billows from the smokestack. Stone station buildings and a tree-covered mountain are visible in the background under grey clouds.

Here is the first test print for the O9 Gauge "Northern Rock" kit. Posed up on the layout before it gets dismantled.

Couple of bits to refine on it before we're happy. Namely how to chassis currently sits.

If you've not seen our recent shared posts on FB, then I'll enlighten all. We're collabing on a "Townsend Hook" locomotive in 16mm Scale!

We're hoping for it to be out next week so keep an eye out. Or follow Gubbins Garden page on FB, either helps!

"Townsend Hook" locomotive sitting on the tracks at the Butterley Garden Railway. They very kindly let us test them with a few coaches! "Townsend Hook" locomotive pulling some heavy Talyllyn coaches behind. At present they are gauged to 32mm, but a 45mm version is on the cards for a more accurate gauge! "Townsend Hook" locomotive having a spin around the tracks light engine. It will come with the motor, you just need RC gubbins and batteries to get it working!
