‘LL’ COAL HOPPERS

We are delighted to announce that we are ready to go to tooling on some ‘LL’ Coal Hopper, to match our incredible 10 class locomotive!

A rake for a single 10 class is 32 hoppers. Accordingly, we are packing the models in boxes of 10 (with weight & removable coal load – each model fitted with 158 Kadee couplers) and in boxes of 2, which will only be available when ordering a 10 car box.

We have tried to provide the most comprehensive selection to cover most situations and, of course, accuracy of Branding as many of the known collieries did not have the ‘LL’ wagons in their fleet. It has also been thoroughly researched with the help of several well – known authors and historians. Our selection includes wagons from BHP, including John Darling & Golins, both of which were seen at Hexam yards regularly.

There will be no pre-delivery price for this model.

But don’t worry – sign up to our FREE membership and you’ll automatically receive a 5% discount!

WOULD YOU LIKE A GUARDS VAN?

Although this model is essentially the same design as the NSW Government railway’s CHG brake van, there are noteable differences in the panel work of the 9 Richmondvale vans constructed & multiple numbers.

EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST

We’re looking at a small run of about 500 units. The alternative is a resin model which we are also currently exploring, however we have no estimated cost at this stage.

10 CLASS REVIEW

We have been absolutely over-run with positive comments and feedback for our South Maitland Railway’s 10 Class. Thank you to everyone who took the time to tell us what they think – it’s much appreciate.

Have a read of our latest review:

“After displaying our 10 class at the Epping MRC’s Exhibition in June, I bumped into Gerry Hopkins and had a discussion about the 10 class. Although I am well acquainted with Gerry and his standing in the modelling community, both as an outstanding modeller and sound guru, we are just acquaintances. It was for both these reasons that I asked Gerry if he would consider making an independent review of the model when an production sound model was available if I loaned him one. Gerry willing accepted the offer and here is his review’.
