What about a 3rd series T? There are currently no reasonably priced ready to run models of this loco but it has run in Victoria, NSW and SA (CK). It can also have a number of interesting liveries. ie: VR, V/Line, AN, GNR, FV, FA and WCR. I think this locomotive would be extremely popular as it is appropriate for modellers of the late 60's through to the present day. It also covers three states! In addition to this the H class could be released as they are basically T classes with a different number plate. I think Austrains could get a fair bit of mileage out of this loco. Powerline struck gold with the 48 because of the number of variations of this loco, including the SAR 830. I think the 3rd series T class would be similar. I know I would buy a few T's and one H if they were released. BTW, I can't wait for the X class! :-) Lambing Flat wrote: > > I have just finished the latest update of the Austrains site, > manufacturers of fine HO models of Australian prototype. > > Details and colour diagrams of the NSWR 442 / SAR 700, VR X class, > SAR LX/ALGX and NSWR 4 wheel vans have been added, as well as the > mooted NSW 44 / SAR 930. > > For those who haven't visited the page recently, photos of the now > released NSW 421 and Pullman cars were added their respective pages a > month or so ago. > > The 44/930 would be of interest to modellers of non Australian > railways as the Alco "world" series also ran in Spain, Greece, > Pakistan and South America, and a few other places too, I understand. > > Modellers of American (both North and South) practice may find the > Pullman cars to be of interest also. > -- - James Brook - ---------------------------------------------------------------- e-mail: mailto:ajmbrook@ozemail.com.au Victorian Railfan Web Site: http://www.railpage.org.au/vr/ ----------------------------------------------------------------
