Now I try to make a living from model making and there are many things that can get in the way of this but a model has just been completed for a customer that demonstrates one of the problems with trying to make a living its nice to have.<\/p>\n

This model is constructed from one of my Darjeeling B Class kits to 16.5mm gauge (it can be built to 14mm) which has then been painted and weathered by Chris Clark. The nice to have problem is that having done it and made a superb job of it a little bit of both Chris and I don’t want to part with it.<\/p>\n

There are higher resolution photos of the model on the gallery tab at the top of the page or click this link.\u00a0B Class Photos<\/a><\/p>\n

This model is off to its new owner in Germany and we both hope he treasures it.<\/p>\n

Producing one of these models is not a quick job with over 250 hours in the build and then Chris’s time to paint it so they don’t come cheap but both of us are happy to quote for doing a custom model just for you. Others are in build at this time with DCC, Sound & 14mm versions being progressed<\/p>\n
