Building a Glyn Valley Tramway Loco in 009 Narrow Gauge from a Brooks 3D kit | The Railway Room

Today on The Railway Room I'm building a 009 gauge model of a Glyn Valley Tramway locomotive - 'Glyn' - using a Brooks 3D kit. The kit runs on a Kato 11-109 chassis, and comes complete with many extra detailing parts.
New versions of this kit do include alternative nameplates for Dennis and Sir Theodore, however the earlier locos do differ from Glyn, so use of those names requires judicious use of modellers licence.
This kit is available from brooks3dmodels.com or on eBay... I have no affiliation with them, just a very happy customer!
Note that a couple of times in this video I refer to Bronze paint, when in fact I mean Brass. In my defense I had just bought a tub of bronze paint on a whim and was trying to work out what I could use it for. The bronze paint was actually used on the fire irons.

This is where resin comes I to it's own. The finish is superb. Pla wouldn't even come close

I have delt with nigel brooks. He is a friendly and nice bloke. Will be buying again when i get my layout sorted.

Pretty cool kit that.... it even comes with the windows, which 3d printed kits never seem to do!

Lovely build, well done.

Great video, in my experience Nigel Brooks kits knock it out of the park, the wagons are better then Dundas kits, easier to build, better detail and cheaper, superb 👍

Good work! Maybe this year we could have you visit our next event with your layout! 🙂

Very good work 👍🏻

I’ve been to the Glyn Valley Tramway!

3D resin printers have changed our modelling. Anything we can CAD we can print now.

In the end, it’s a very Nice locomotive. In fact, one day, hopefully, I could do a locomotive just like this one. I have my own Thomas & Friends OC’s, and I want to Recreate them in OO scale. I actually have an OC who is based off of the exact engine this model is.

Really impressed by that! Looks great and fits in to a small budget too. Hoping to build a small oo-9 layout myself and trying to keep the cost of the tracks/loco/rolling stock initially to under £150.

I just subscribed I’m your 1000th!

Does a 11-106 or 11-107 work too?

[@kevinburt3075]

What type off glue did you use when building the model please ?

[@1960jackrussell]

do you not have an airbrush thew finish is so much better
