I copied this from the last Austrains newsletter, (which is on the
Austrains site)

AUSTRAINS PRICING and the GST:

When Austrains sells a product we have to take into account the very
high cost of  tooling  which we have to recover over a very short
production run.  The tooling is actually a much higher percentage of the
total product cost than the manufacturing  part.  At present we pay
sales tax at the time of importation and the tooling cost per unit is
taken into account when calculating the figure on which sales tax is
paid on a formula set down by Customs.  GST however is charged as a
percentage of the final selling price and is far in excess of the amount
of sales tax we currently pay. We are not in a position to absorb this
price rise so the price of most Austrains products are being adjusted to
compensate for the higher tax component.  Diesel locos will be most
effected.  Prices of Coaches and NODY wagons are being held at pre GST
prices and the C36 price will rise to $399.00.  The impact on the price
of the S truck is being assessed and will be advised in the next
newsletter which will be posted late June.

  Those who have product on order which is not fully paid and collected
or posted by the close of business 30th June, 2000 will have to pay the
post GST price.

             Take note of this, there can be no exceptions.

I think this answers the question!  If you wait until after 1st July you
will be making an involuntary donation to the Government.
