Austrains Secret Models...

  • Tooling has commenced on two new passenger items, the LHO Passenger Brake Van and KP Mail Sorting Van. Both of these items are designed to complement the FS / BS cars in the composition of mail trains. The LHO can also be used wherever a Passenger Brake Van is required for trains from the early 1960’s onwards. To our knowledge no mass produced model of the KP has been made since the Workshop 5 kit of the mid 1970’s.

    Design has commenced on two other new Passenger items for release early 2012. They’re a Secret!!!!!!!!!!!

    And so are the six items of goods rolling stock. Well five of them are goods wagons. I’m not certain what category the sixth one fits into.

  • Update - 27-7-2011
  • Next year will also see the release of two LFX 49’3” Dog Box coaches. These will come with two different roof styles, Mansard and Semi elliptical.
  • And for our Victorian customers; work has also commenced on a set of VR coaches. We can now announce that these will be the PL cars: APL, BPL & BCPL.
  • These will be released without fanfare at the first Victorian exhibition we attend after they are finished but because of numerous other commitments it is unlikely that they will arrive before early 2013. No advance orders will be taken.
  • Expected price will be around $330.00 for a three car pack.
