New Products And Features

The 48 Class Mechanism has been discontinued

The 48 Class mechanism has been discontinued. Sales have slowed to a trickle on this product, and we are faced with having to invest serious money to re-stock to make more of them. At the same time, Trainorama are soon to release a new version of this product, and we believe it should be a better alternative.

New Australian Outline Mechanisms

We will soon be releasing a new product, Australian Outline Ready-To-Go mechanisms for almost every type of diesel or electric bogie locomotive that has run in Australia.

Keep an eye out for further announcements.

Mechanism Kits

Due to the imminent release of the Australian Outline mechanisms, the kits have been reviewed in price. The price of the kit now accurately reflects the sum of the components that make up these kits. This has resulted in a price drop for the 4 axle kit, and a price increase for the 6 axle kit.

In addition, we will be looking closely at these kits with regard to their on-going viability. There has been a less than enthusiastic response to these kits, and we suspect people just don't like having to make up their own mechanisms.
