The "Hawin" engine (as it has been nicknamed) is a off the shelf mineral tank, designed to an 0-4-0T configuration built in 1912 to be used on various tramways and industrial lines across the world. It is currently unknown what origins this locomotive has, or even who it was built by but several examples of this type have been seen on countless railways, heritage or working across the years. It takes a lot of design cues from Andrew Barclay engines, but the resemblance is only superfluous.
Randell would be helping me out to look over them all but instead he's here today in spirit. Mainly because a holiday beckoned and who am I to overwork a ferret when it's hot out?
The "Waterloo" class of locomotive is a 0-4-2T standard design created and built by Kerr Stuart and Company. Most examples ran on standard gauge rails, one being for the Corringham Light Railway. Many were built for 3ft gauge railways across the years, one running at the Redlake Tramway. It is designed to fit the Bachmann Peter Sam chassis with some slight modifications, thus some creative liberties have been taken to make it a representative of the class on 2ft Gauge. This resin printed kit, comes with a single body piece, x1 cab roof section and x1 static chassis.

NG7 resin printed kit of "Palmerston", as running on the Ffestiniog Railway in the 1920s, also when visiting the Vale of Rheidol Railway. A Dapol B4 chassis is required in order to run on O-16.5 gauge track, but a dummy chassis is sold desperately for display. Tender comes with wheels pre-fitted.
A resin 3D printed single piece of one of our Willowmere County miniatures, scaled up to Garden Railway 16mm Scale/SM32. Here he stands next to his tabletop 32mm counterpart. Nice crisp detail!
"Palmerston" painted up in colours reminiscent to "Duke", no other reason than I thought it'd be fun! Annoyingly the wheels are an older test version so they didn't stay in place as well as I hoped.
Overview of the whole stand. I think we're going to need another set of shelves soon! For this event we wanted to make the stand a bit more colourful, to that end spent a lot of nights up to the day of the show painting everything!
3D print in resin of a new NG7 / O-16.5 Gauge kit of the Hawin Mineral locomotive, next to miniature Randell the Ferret. It is displayed on a static version of the Bachmann Quarry Hunslet chassis.
Resin printed kits of Talyllyn Railway locomotives and rolling stock, in the scale of TT6.5. TT:120 narrow gauge running on 6.5mm track. They fit perfectly to 15mm scale Wargaming miniatures to, for those who do tabletop games.
Many 3D printed items in resin, all in a heap. Some new releases incoming, alongside Randell the Ferret, a tabletop miniature already out.

A digital art render inside of Blender for a railway yard scene, featuring locomotives, wagons and animalfolk doing their jobs. Randell the Ferret and Milkdrop the Station Cat besides the diesel, talking while Theo the Fox drives the main steam engine with passengers trailing behind. Looks a bit like a video game model railway sim.
A gathering of resin 3D printed items. Main feature is the Ffestiniog Manning Wardle locomotive, test printed recently. Alongside tabletop miniatures Willowmere County, consisting of a Ferret, Fox and Duck all very much keen on the new engine.
This kit is intended to be a diesel locomotive based on the BR Class 04, scaled down to Minimum Gauge as a sort of "What if" BR had built 15inch gauge railways instead of standard gauge railways, specifically when fitted with tramskirts for road running. Designed to fit the Kato 11-109 chassis.

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.
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.
