Really good to see how far Australian railway modelling has gone. Being from the Netherlands, back in the days I only knew of a few Lima models depicting Australian prototypes, but these were rather crude. Australian modelling is still a fairly unknown thing in Europe, but your news video shows us a lot what is going on now. Over the last years I became quite interested in Aussie railways being spoiled with all these video's of vintage locomotives still doing daily work, and the range of models offered now clearly covers many of these.

Thanks for another great video. The Australian modellers certainly do have an abundance of high quality models available and coming. I was a teenager in the 70's. Not long having migrated from Germany. Australian modelling at that time was mostly possible if you were a good scratch builder. While there has been talk around the world that the model railway hobby is in decline. Seeing the models becoming available. Especially for modern era modellers, I am confident that this great hobby will endure into the future.

Good to see! I am not an Australian modeller, but as a Canadian I like the prototypes offered. Had no idea the A class was another bulldog nosed double cab ended unit, as I was hoping for a re-run of the B class. Glad to see this A class is getting a rerun! Can you please link the info sheets for the new re-run models in the SSR paint schemes, as I cant find them.

@chrisrabbitt 2 ай бұрын

Hey mate, the A class is a rebuild of a B class which is why they look so similar and the rerun order forms for the A's aren't up yet which is why you can't find them yet. I'm pretty sure I have seen you on Facebook on the US manufacturers pages if you are who I'm thinking of, (I'm Chris Butchart) so if you like mate will keep my eye out for you and let you know when they are up so you can do your pre-order.

Will, great news report as usual. Some very interesting items coming up. I got some of the Beford Trucks, and the RFB Fire Truck from Scale Model Supply recently, and the details are fantastic, well worth having a look at. Cheers, and stay safe, Michael

Nice news update Will. Looking forward to the A class rerun by Auscision along with the S class release. Looking forward to seeing what Paul's 3D Prints has at diamond creek. March is going to be a busy one for me too. - Nicholas.

in general we'd all appreciate Australian model manufacturers move to digital store fronts or use the digital store fronts of existing outlets. If manufacturers have a website could they at the verry lest build something that doesn't look like it was put together by a 5 year old in 1995. Like Auscision: - why haven't you got filters for quickly finding similar items? - why is your site still designed to fit a 3/4 CRT? - why do you have images that take up the entire vertical height? - why, oh why is everything a table? do you think it's good design? It's not, you have to spend ages scrolling to find anything.

@WillJamesRailways 2 ай бұрын

I disagree, i don’t think most people know how much the tooling and manufacturing costs are, and at the level of quality! Having said that we are also lucky to have manufactures like ARM with a RTR locomotive at sub $300! Also we had a look at prices of locomotives from say 30 years ago with prices adjusted for inflation and they’re still inline, although the quality is considerably higher!
