MattDitch Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 New O16.5 (7mm narrow gauge) locomotive kit. I was recently asked if I could produce a 7mm version of the Clogher Valley Sharp Stewart that I offer. I can’t offer chassis suggestions, as the person who commissioned me intended to scratch build their own chassis. I have however included an image that shows the dimensions of the model opening. The model is supplied with real coal, headlamp and cowcatcher. The photos show an unpainted but primed model.

MattDitch Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's been a little while since I released a new model, sorry about that! Problems with my creative mojo, we've all been there, I'm sure. The above model is a freelance Peckett style side tank. Although I did take some inspiration from various Peckett locos. I've designed two versions, one for the Kat0 108/109 chassis and one for the Roco 0-6-0. I've also started adding some extra details to my models where possible and prototypical, such as rivets and handrails. Going forward, I'll be adding this kind of detail to all my models, past and future. The models can be purchased from my website >> https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1 and eBay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?item=134141095300&_ssn=mdmodels12&_sop=10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 New kit! I'm very pleased to finally be able to offer my first kit for the Bachmann Percy chassis. The body kit is based on a Kerr Stuart "Sirdar" 0-4-0 tank. A number of these were built for industrial use. And, saw service all around the world in a variety of industrial settings. My kit depicts the short tank version. But, I do plan to offer different variants.The kit can be purchased from my website >> https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1/009-kerr-stuart-sirdar-0-4-0-for-Bachmann-percy-chassis-mdm56 And eBay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134193102562?hash=item1f3e883ee2:g:PdEAAOSw6Exi77b~ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDitch Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 6 years ago today I entered the world of 3d modelling with a crudely drawn rendition of my house. From there, I quickly turned my attention to designing and printing various steam & diesel locomotives, mostly in 009 (Other scales are now available!). I first got into 3d Modelling & 3d printing as a distraction to help me cope with my mental health, something that unfortunately still affects me. Although it can affect my productivity, I continue to learn new skills and tricks that I hope, in the long run, will improve my offerings. And, I'm personally very proud of what I've been able to achieve over the past 6 years. I've sent models off to all corners of the Globe, and have one off to Australia this week! And, for those who got this far, here is a 10% discount code for my online shop OCT10 https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Between other projects this week, I've been working on this freelance Sentinel railcar. It's not really based on anything in particular. Although the cab design was inspired by I believe a LSWR railcar. My model is finished in a work worn, and battered livery inspired by the Furness Railway. In my head, I could imagine this carrying workers to and from some remote Cumbrian slate mine, spending most of its time exposed to the elements. The model is available to purchase for those who are interested. It is designed to take a Kato 105 chassis (not supplied). The model is available as a single car or double pack.

MattDitch Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 It's been a little while since I posted any new models. Well, today I'm very pleased to be able to share my latest creation. Going back several years one of the first 009 kits I designed was for a Pre-War Sentinel. The model quickly became outdated as I learned new skills and improved my offerings. However, I always intended to re-release it at some point in the future. Over the last several weeks I've designed a completely new model from scratch, which I'm now happy to share with everyone. The attached photo shows my very work-worn-looking Pre-War sentinel trundling along with some wagons. The model is designed to fit a shortened Kato 109 or 108 chassis (Not included) If you'd like your own the kit can be purchased on either of the below linksWebsite >> https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1/009-pre-war eBay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134531339971?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BFNBBPTARoq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=BFNBBPTARoq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 For a while now I've been working on a 009 Hunslet heavily inspired by those used on the Howrah-Amta Light Railway.

MattDitch Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 I started my little 3D printing business as a way to distract myself when I was going through a dark patch in my life. I would never have thought back then just how popular my little 3D creations would become. I've shipped my kits to all corners of the world and made some amazing friends along the way. Today marks 4 years since I officially started MD models, so as a way of celebrating this milestone and saying thanks to everyone who has purchased something from me I've decided to run a sale on my website and eBay. Use the code 4YEAR15 on my website for 15% off your orderhttps://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1 Over on eBay, 15% should come off your order automatically.https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=133289066533&%3Brt=nc&%3B_trksid=p2047675.l2562&_ssn=mdmodels12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDitch Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Here is a selection of new 009 models that I've been working on recently.

MattDitch Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 The first kit I released several years ago was an approximation of a Hudswell Clarke diesel, similar to those used on the Sierra Leone Government Railway. This was also a popular model and over the years I've sold many copies to all corners of the globe. However, as time went on and as my skills developed I found myself unhappy with the aging model. So, over the past few months, I've been working on an all-new version. It's not based on any particular loco but is instead an amalgamation of a few different locos. Like last time I have two versions available. A skirted version for the Kato 109 and an open version for those who may wish to use something different to power it. Although I'm leaving that up to the modeler as I haven't tested anything else under it. If you're interested in picking one up they can be purchased from the below links Hudswell Clarke diesel with side skirts Website >> https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1/mdm01hcdisel009eBay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134684039878?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BFNBBPTARoq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=BFNBBPTARoq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Hudswell Clarke diesel (no skirt) Website >> https://www.mattditch.photography/online-shop-1/009-hudswell-clarke-style-diesel-no-tram-skirt-mdm12eBay >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134684040642?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BFNBBPTARoq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=BFNBBPTARoq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDitch Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Over the past several months I've been working on an all-new version of my 009 Kerr Stuart "Skylark" to replace the version I'd originally designed several years ago. This version is designed to use a cut-down Kato 108/109 chassis. I've also designed a version for the Bachmann "Peter Sa" chassis, but more on that soon...
