We had two new O9 Gauge releases last week!
A freelance form of River Irt as a 0-6-2 named "River Ella", and a static Duffield Bank "Muriel" locomotive.

Store link: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/gubbin-b...

#modelrailways #modeltrains #narrowgauge
"River Ella" body kit, in printed resin, designed to fit the Graham Farish 08 chassis with RT Models etched motion. The kit is based on "River Irt", albeit a freelance take as a 0-6-2. A 3D printed resin static kit of the Duffield Bank Railway "Muriel" locomotive, built by Sir Arthur Heywood in 1894. This two piece static kit adds a historical element to any O9 Gauge layout.

We were at the Narrow Gauge Now event a couple of days ago. A really lovely show!
Here is a selection of photos of our stand from it, alas I didn't get too much time to wander around to take photos but did get to talk to a few folk along the way.
#modelrailways #modeltrains #narrowgauge
A slight close up of the stall. Wanted to get as many of our miniature kits on there to! The big three, all coming soon. The Manning Wardle F&B 0-4-2ST is new, but we will be getting the Ffestiniog Englands out first. Something a bit different! TTe (TT:120 narrow gauge on 6.5mm track) Talyllyn Railway items all static. Talyllyn was painted only the night before and very happy how the details came out. Another big one, the completed (almost) River Ella model! Just a few small bits to do for release but it'll be released next month.

Work in progress NG7/O-16.5 Gauge kits!
Small and Large Englands are awaiting some metal axles for the tender wheels and they'll be good to go almost.
New is the Andrew Barclay 0-6-0T, based on "Doll". Randell giving his usual look over. Still plenty to do yet!

All three were used by Sir Arthur Heywood to demonstate the wonders of what a 15 Inch minimum gauge railway can achieve. All three coaches come with all the bogies, bolts, washers, doors, tables, beds respectively and roofs to complete the kit.

A tri release today!
OUT NOW, 3D resin printed kits of the Duffield Bank Railway Luggage Brakevan, Dining Coach and Sleeper Carriage in O9 Gauge.
Find them on my store here:
www.ebay.co.uk/usr/gubbin-b...
#modelrailways #modeltrains #narrowgauge
In the early 1880s, Heywood produced a luggage van on bogies that also acted as a guards van at one end. Little is generally known about this van, but it to was eventually sold to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway during their gauge conversion in 1916. However it only lasted a very short time in service, deemed too heavy for the mixed trains the Ravenglass took then. Used therefore as a hut and chickencoop but it's ultimate demise in the 1940s. Sir Arthur Heywood produced a Dining Carriage, that served up to eight passengers the finest dining experience. One was built in 1894, eventually ending up in the hands of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway after gauge conversion in the 1920s. Here the dining setting inside was removed for more conventional passenger seating, until it was withdrawn in the 1940s. Sir Arthur Heywood produced a Sleeper Carriage, that housed four beds and a single wash basin to live in. One was built in 1894, eventually ending up in the hands of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway after gauge conversion in the 1917 where to it had been rebuilt to commedate conventional passenger seats with the removal of the births. It was withdrawn in the 1940s, soon being scapped around 1950.

Getting some inspiration from one of my favourite books while a print is underway for more minis. The Wind in the Willows just captures the tranquil peace to escape from reality for an hour or two. Really need to go rowing on the river again soon I think!
#book #windinthewillows #miniatures
A couple of the Willowmere County miniatures standing atop the book The Wind in the Willows. Specifically the illustrated one by Paul Cox. Beautiful art alongside a very lovely story. Heaps of inspiration!

I have a habit of not painting my own kits. Sergeant Rambo is mightily displeased over the fact it's showing bare grey resin but Officier Hastings is more confused than anything else! Hoping to have a paint day soon, wish me luck 😅
#modelrailways #miniatures #tabletop #anthro #narrowgauge
A photo of our kits. Work in progress Willowmere County miniatures of Sergeant Rambo and Officier Hastings with Randell in the background. The locomotives are NG7/0-16.5 Gauge body kits of a Cranmore and a fictional loco named the Orikit.

WIP O9 Gauge gubbins!
Here we have a "what if" River Irt, if she was built to a 0-6-2 design, alongside three new Duffield Bank coaches. A bit rough around the edges (boiler mainly, was a bit tight) but this test print shows what I can and can't do with the kit!
#modelrailways #narrowgauge
An O9 Gauge model railway loco, designed on the "River Irt" locomotive at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway sitting on my layout "Gadwall Estate" Randell the Ferret inspects the clearences as "River Ella" drives into the station, ready to run around the train. Our first Human visitor to the layout! Three new O9 gauge coach kits, based on Duffield Bank Railway stock.

Been quiet lately!
Don't worry things are progressing. Hit a bit of a snag when it comes to kits in the works. What I have been working on slowly is a website that'll act as a catalogue for all our kits.
Not done yet, so look out for that in future!
#miniatures #modelrailways #ttpg #modeltrains
A work in progress website for Gubbin Box Models, to act as a giant digital catalouge for all of our kits both miniatures tabletop and model railways.

Back to sculpting!
Some new work in progress Willowmere County miniatures on the way, with these two Constable doggos who are rather Grumpy and Bashful. The next two to do are animals I've not attempted yet so we'll see how that goes

Randell has taken up the reigns to make sure all is good on Gadwall Estate with a new engine. Milkdrop popped over from the station to see what the fuss is.

Been trying to find time to get more of the layout done, but things keep getting in the way of progress!

7mmNGA at Burton, complete!
A wonderful show with a lot of supportive folk. Had a very delightful slice of chocolate cake, sold a healthy amount of kits (both railway and miniature) and even showed off a few new things!
#modelrailways #miniatures #narrowgauge
The whole stand with NG7 and O9 Gauge kits, with a few Willowmere County miniatures sprinkled in. Lord Gadwall and Theo the Fox keep watch over the green Sirdar (yet to be named and finished). Close up of the wooden logo and some kits coming soon.

Been a bit quiet recently!
Another show is coming up so printing stock, but new kits are on the way. Willowmere will hopefully get some newly sculpted folk joining them to

For now Noodles is trying to sell Randell a steam loco. I don't think he's succeeding 😅

Also out is a static Duffield Bank "Effie" !

She was Sir Arthur's first locomotive constructed for the Duffield Bank Railway in 1875. Named after his wife, she was largely an experiment for his ambitions in getting minimum gauge railways off the ground.

3D printed Duffield Bank Railway "Effie" the first locomotive built by Sir Arthur Heywood.

This kit represents "Ella" as she was rebuilt in 1900.

To motorise Ella a Graham Farish Class 08 and RT Models - Replacement Round End Locomotive Coupling Rods, Single Slide Bar Cross Heads and 13mm Connecting Rods need to be purchased seperately in order to complete the kit.

Lord Gadwall broke the silence; "what do you think my dear fellow?"
Randell did a double take. "It might be a bit too... tiny? Perhaps, for us."
But the Lord didn't reply, he merely considered the possibilities of what else he could purchase in time.

With no crew aswell. Where have Theo and Lord Gadwall gone? Probably hiding away until there's more scenery.

She and the static only Effie will be released next hopefully soon!
