Does it really? Thats very questionable as they are yet to put a model
on the shelf. Nor do they produce them, they are in fact produced in
China, under contract to Eureka Models to my understanding. I
seriously doubt Ron's back shed is large enough to go into production
of HO scale models.

And heres a prediction. Following the 38 will be the 59 or the 32. I
base this on the following series of events:

I bought a couple of Lloyds 60 class kits and what happens, Eureka
annouce they are going to open with a ready to run 60 class.

Just before Christmas 2004 I received 2 x 38 class kits from Lloyds
and now Eureka are going to do a RTR 38 class.

Now having just received my Lloyds 59 and 32 I reckon I'm odds on on
the law of averages that Eureka's next model will either a 59 or 32
class

Lucky I'm not a comspiracy theorist, otherwise I may think someone was
bugging my phone.
