Eureka Models update

G'day all :-)

The latest Eureka Models update is now available.

For the benefit of non-Australian readers, Eureka Models produces high 
quality models of New South Wales Railways prototypes in HO.

The big (though hardly secret ;-) news, of course, is that Eureka's 3rd 
release will be the NSWGR C38 class pacific, in both streamlined and 
non-streamlined form, in black or green, "pristine" or weathered and 
with optional Sound.  Details of the new model are available on the new 
38 page.

The latest Eureka Times is finally up, as are all the "lost" back issues.

The 620 has slipped a bit (as expected) and is now due in July, though 
the Garratt appears to be still on track for October delivery.

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.

In that case, please buy another 32, a couple of 35s and a few 12s!!
