We
have received some production samples of our all
new NR
class models. NR30 and NR52 will be shipped later this month
with the balance of the entire range following throughout
November and early December.
Whilst
the Austrains NR model was very good dimensionally the detail
level was firmly to 1990s standards. When embarking on the
design of the Indigenous pair we took the opportunity to bring
the detail level forward to compliment the new artwork.

the first deliveries expected in December.
A
re-run of our venerable VR GY open wagon is arriving mid October
and the first of our VR OT 4 wheel rail tank cars will arrive in
December.
Retooling
of the Austrains NEO VR PL series of passenger carriages is
underway and we expect the first samples also at Olympic Park.
Also
in 2020 we’ll reintroduce the Austrains NEO branded LHO and
LHY brake van, the KP mail van with smooth sides and the LHG and
GHO version all with suitable upgrading. A re-run of the SAR
SO/SOC wagon is also planned in 2020.
The
Phoenix Reproductions VR E open, SAR O open and VR S flat wagon
have arrived and sold well at the recent Caulfield show, we
likely underestimated the demand for the VR versions. A re-run
with a new floor will proceed in 2020.
The
Phoenix VR D3 steam engine is due to arrive Qtr1 2020. After
we’ll follow with some K class models for Eureka Models. These
are due to arrive Qtr 3 2020 and will be available for Eureka
Models and Phoenix Reproductions.
The
Phoenix NSWGR
D50/53 classes will follow the K class production.
We
have received the first engineering sample of the SAR 800 Class.
