MattDitch Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Afternoon everyone, here is a bit of an update on things. Firstly I just wanted to let everyone know I currently have a "Black Friday" sale with money off on all my kits on my website. Link here The deadline for guaranteed Christmas orders is Monday the 7th of December. I'll still be accepting and posting orders after this date but I can't guarantee they'll reach you by Christmas. I am open to international orders but I'm told there are massive delays regarding these. So if you are outside of the UK and would like to order a kit I'd suggest getting in touch soon!. Next I have a new kit available on my site. It's freelance Sentinel which has taken its inspiration from a few different real life prototypes. Link here Lastly I still have a few copies of my 2021 railway calendar, these can be found here 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDitch Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Here's a little something I've been working on recently. For a while now, I've wanted a Hunslet tank for the tramway project I'm working on. I decided to make this my next 3D printed body kit. I took inspiration from Leeds No.1 and the Hunslets used on the Howrah & Amta Light Railway. It's designed to fit a cutdown Kato 109 chassis (not included). The links to where you can buy the kit can be found below Website eBay I do have several more kits in development, which I hope to share in the coming days and weeks. This will include a few variants of this Hunslet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted September 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2021 Very nice Matt. I'll be placing an order for one of your prints shortly. I do have a spare Kato 109 chassis so it will be ideal. The Hunslet tank looks great. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 I've been working on some more Hunslets for my tramway project. Hopefully these models will be of interest to others. Firstly is a Quarry Hunslet style loco, looks good with the Peco Slate wagons! And lastly another variant of my Hunslet side tank tram, this time with longer tanks similar to "Russell" If you are interested in getting your own, these can be purchased from either of the following links.

MattDitch Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I've always had a soft spot for the Kerr Stuart "Sirdar" class. I first learned about the existence of the class when I was researching the Cawfields Quarry Railway in Northumbria, who had one. My 009 model is designed to fit the Kato 109 or Kato 108 (easier to shorten the chassis to fit under the body). If you would like to purchase your own, then please check out the below links Main Website & eBay Also, if anyone is after a 2022 railway themed Calendar. Then look no further! This can be purchased from here & here Edited October 6, 2021 by MattDitch 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I've had a soft spot for Quarry Hunslet's “Cadfan” and “Tryfan” for a while now. So I decided to modify my own freelance Quarry Hunslet model into something very loosely based on these locos. For those interested in getting their own, I've added the model to my online shop & eBay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
