New Arrivals

I was roused from a cold medicine induced daze this afternoon by the doorbell (and the dogs).  It was mail delivery lady with a parcel bearing an Australian postal label.   A long ago ordered and greatly anticipated wagon order from Auscision had finally come.


12xNDFF ballast wagons and 4xCQBY container wagons.  Once again....they are outstanding models.


I spent a few hours this evening installing 60 feet more fascia to the upper level, and when I finished around 0300....decided to unpack the new arrivals for some pics:

Brake van substituting for needed ballast plow passing Ardglen crossing loop

12xNDFF placed on Ardglen quarry sidings

Someday I'll learn how to photoshop in a background like Blair...for now, we'll all just have to imagine.

With these arrivals, all the Aussie rolling stock I ordered 2 years ago, has arrived...with the exception of the Trainorama Southern Shorthaul GM22 which is apparently still a year away.

Time to start shopping again!

  1. They are very nice models Lance. Although way outside my era it would be nice to run something with some colour - other than light black, dark black, off black, mid black etc etc!
    Enjoying following your work and history.
