Kaustav has a mini series of Indian Railway themed modelling videos. He's done this over the last 3-4 months as he was building the diorama for us. He's covered things like making mini road and railway signs and so on. Do have a look, like I've said before, Kaustav is a talented gentleman whose work is right up there with the big boys. However he is hardly recognised because his skills and the hobby is almost unheard of in India. He certainly deserves some traction and recognition. Please do have a look at his videos and a LIKE,SHARE and SUBSCRIBE would go a long way. Note that not only will these videos be useful for those who may want to model the Indian Railways, but the same techniques can be used for your own model railways. He also uses various materials that appeal to those on a budget. So check out his videos...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't forget...please do LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE as it really helps out and encourages us to make more models and dioramas from the lesser known railways in the world.

And here's a few images of our small diorama, Kaustav built this diorama for us! We'll be using the diorama for photography and short videos. It's loosely based on a random region in southern India. And the diorama has 3 tracks, one NG mainline, one BG mainline with OHE and one small end of a BG siding with OHE as well.

At first glance I took this to be the prototype used to model from!

When we announced our range of HOe scale Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) kits, we were inundated with requests to do the same kits in OO9 scale. You wanted it....we did it! Our range of DHR kits is now available in OO9 scale.

 

We've started off with the NDM6 and the DHR Box van. Over the coming weeks and months we'll be releasing more DHR kits in OO9, so keep an eye on this thread. If you want any of our other NG (HOe) scale kits in OO9, please feel free to get in touch with us.

Our next Indian Railways BG locomotive is almost ready for sale...!

 

Here's some CAD images of our forthcoming Indian Railways WAP7 and WAG9. Our kits will be available such that all variants i.e. WAP7, WAP7i, WAG9 and WAG9H can be made. Most if not all differences in the prototype will be catered for.

NOTE:
- The handrails and piping on the roof is missing from the CAD these will be made using brass wire on the model.
- The pantographs are just place holders, the kit is designed with ViTrains pantographs in mind.
- The CAD doesn't show the couplings either, those will be standard Kadee knuckle couplers.

- Sorry for those very obvious watermarks, over the last few months there's been a rise in cases of people misusing our images claiming it to be theirs.

HEY EVERYONE!!

 

Our Indian Railways WDS4 kit in HO scale is now available to buy via our online store hosted by Shapeways

 

https://www.shapeways.com/product/RF7BNX62Y/jbm-bgd-001-indian-railways-wds4

 

Please read the product description carefully before ordering the kit. We highly recommend that you'll buy the kit in "smooth/smoothest fine detail plastic". Only buy the "white natural versatile plastic" kit if your budget is really low. Please remember that white natural versatile plastic is really grainy and a lot of detail is lost.
