Our C35 Grain Hoppers are here and simply the best!
GREAT VALUE AT A GREAT PRICE!
More decorations – more numbers – make up your own block grain train

We costed this project in November 2015 at a currency price of A$0.65 to US$1.00 (actual at the time was A$0.68 to US$1.00). Our final costing was at an average currency conversion of A$0.75 to US$1.00. This has allowed us to reduce the list price to $240 – but here is the good news – they are on sale at $225! THAT’S VALUE!!
Available direct, online or at Lyndons Trains this weekend at the Yarra Valley Exhibition.

2300/2400 CLASS UPDATE
The tooling adjustments are running around 2 weeks behind schedule. Overall, there were only 10 changes to be made (to now 12 versions) and only one of these was major (to us). The detail is absolutely sensational and we are greatly encouraged by all those that have the experience to run a critical eye over the models. There were also a few production issues ie. wrong parts on wrong models – nothing serious.
The special offer to upgrade your existing order to include sound will end on Friday 6th April at close of business.
XPLORER/ENDEAVOR UPDATE
Following on from our update of January 18th, we have secured the only remaining chassis mould from our former supplier, Run East.
Regrettably, after a detailed analysis & advice from our current factory we have decided the mould is not useable to produce an acceptable product.
So, we are undertaking to replace all the chassis mould. This is an expensive undertaking and, as we have advised from the start, there is no quick fix answer that is satisfactory to us.
The re-design process has started but we again ask that you be patient whilst we work this additional tooling into our project schedule and cash flow.
