Austrains BL Class Loco - Upcoming
81 / G / BL: At last tooling is almost complete on this project. The factory informs us that we should have first test shots late March, 2011. After this we go into what is called debug. That is making sure the parts fit and the whole thing works. Because of the number of variations this is a particularly complicated process with this project. From the time we start production it will take eighteen weeks to get final product.
These things do not happen overnight and the way the factories are in China it is a miracle when any project is completed. Being realistic the best we are going to do is delivery of the 81 /G / BL project late 2011.
We can only apologise for the delay in this project. Murphy’s Law has applied all along the way.
The 81 / G / BL will be fitted with QSI. QSI have the sound package for the 81 class. The G / BL package will follow soon. The time is near when we have to commit to the number of sound chips we need for this project. The only guide we have to the quantity required will be the number of advance orders. If you want a loco with sound please book it before 30th March, 2009. After that there will be sound locos available but we cannot guarantee that you will get the number you want. The sound locos will be made available on a first ordered priority basis. A two tiered pricing structure will apply.
$80 deposit will secure your model regardless of when you finalise the payment.
If you pay the balance by the end of August, 2010 the price will be $245.00.
For payments finalised after that date the price will be $295.00 until the models are shipped.
Once the models are shipped the price will rise again to over $300.00 per unit.
For a Sound Equipped model add $100.00 to the above prices.
If you want us to finalise payment of your order please contact us.
Phone is OK but email, letter or fax is preferable.
