Interesting to note that Auscision are claiming production of these wagons is slated for late this year with delivery in early 2021. I do wonder what crystal ball that is based upon. I'll be getting some of these but certainly will not be putting any money down until we see evidence that production of model trains has seriously re-commenced in China - ie delivery into Australia of currently delayed product.

Well that's a surprise
I wonder if this spells the end of the traditional last minute warning for early bird prices?
Probably academic considering the current economic climate
Consulation could be that new releases may not sell out before the next 20% off promotion is launched

Pre-order pricing will finish on the 15th of February and unfortunately due to price increases in China the after delivery price will now be $300.00 per 4 car pack.
Get your orders in before the 15th of Feb to save $80.00 per pack. Order forms can be downloaded at the below link."

Looks like I got my Bat Signals mixed up Poath
Glad I missed it in hindsight, stimulus packages don't seem to extend into this pursuit

It is a bit of a problem to have all these Overland cars and car sets but with no sleeping cars...

What happened to the 600 class?
Wasn't that to be released next?

Different factories with different recoveries from the shutdowns perhaps?

What happened to the 600 class?Where in anything that Auscision has said does it say these carriages are to released "next"? The FB post and the website say these are an early 2021 release. The 600 Class are currently shown as "late 2020".
Wasn't that to be released next?

Anyway........ On the E cars, does anyone here know if any CE vans ran to 1985 that weren’t in VR blue??

There were a lot of red CWs that looked enough like CEs that I had to check....
Peter
Correction....
The Joint Stock CE vans were red and presumably remained so until 1970 or so when they were replaced by the CO vans.

Actually, after my initial reply and upon looking at Mark Bau’s Victorianrailways.net, the bottom of the CE van page has a letter from 1965 that mandated all CE’s (excluding the 6 joint stock ones) at next repaint be done in blue/yellow.
This explains why.

GT46 rerun. new loco numbers, optional sound.

Hopefully they decide to rerun the JCX bogie hoppers but ONLY in the VR and VLine liveries, as the others lingered on in the sales que. The MET liveried version would be great IF it could be done with pre tooled additional parts that don’t alter the overall base tooling to make the original variants.
3rd and 4th batches of G class locos would be absolutely great. I figured I’d ask.
I also note the N class loco is 10yrs from its original release, so what potential they see in demand from the market for more of those is anyone’s guess.

I'm hoping for a few different numbers. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

That’s good to hear mate, and you’re bang on with having to wait. Covid being no expediter I’m sure.
I suppose we’re starting to drag the bottom for new models to be run, as surely there’s only small number class/single state based stuff left to do?
Loco wise from whatever hasn’t been tooling updated from Austrains models to the current expectations, of which id like the X class and possibly XR if tooling/market justifies the outlay.
Tank wagon wise SDS seem to left alone to do, and make a good effort at, and Ontrack seem to have gone dead quiet.

IP/Ghan carriage pre-order discount ending soon, models expected to be available late July.
In the time since these models were announced we've seen the prototype IP using ex Southern Spirit platinum cars, and of course the new Great Southern service started. I predict some unannounced packs to appear in due course.
