The smallest such N is 1449, as shown at the top of the table shown below.

ct=0;
for n=99:99999
  sn=sod(n);
  if sn==18
    s2n=sod(2*n);
    if s2n==27
      disp([n 2*n])
      ct=ct+1;
      if ct>=25
        return
      end
    end
  end
end

where the sod function is

function sd = sod(n) 
    s=0;
    dgts=num2str(n) ;
    l=length(dgts) ;
    for i=1:l
        s=s+str2double(dgts(i));
    end
    sd=s;
end

and it lists the first 25 such
