    Nice news update Will. Some good stuff coming out this year. Especially looking forward to the Train - O - Rama S class and I saw what looked like a Paul's 3D Prints N class! See you at a few exhibitions. - Nicholas.

    27:31 I asked a person at the Newport railway museum in the Hitachi if there were any front door Hitachi trains that still existed today (there was a poster with one on it) and know I know there is one.

    Now I know why Ixion models are so good. I first ran into Phil Badger back in the late 90's, he was very good back then, 2+ decades later and these are top tier models.

    Thanks for the update mate, looks like it is going to be another busy year in HO scale models, with lots of new releases. The Ixion LF/MF wagons sure do look nice, will have to get some myself soon. The NN wagons from IDR Models also look great.

    This is good timing, since I ordered one of the SDS Queensland 1460 class models yesterday. I got TasRail QR 2056 because she's in a patched New Zealand livery.

  • @jouebien
    @jouebien 11 місяців тому +1

    Odd to see NZ120 versions of QR rail. yeah the TT scale running on N gauge is popular in NZ but I would have thought it would have made more financial sense to do it in HO running on TT scale track (HOn3.5) which is what the majority of QR models are in. All well if it works for them grate more QR locos the better. I just wish On42 would get some love.

    Had a chat to you just before Christmas at Hearns Hobbies, and I remember you asking if I modelled Queensland rail (being a Queenslander. I can say I have bought a CGL model of 1461 in centennial gold livery. I’m really looking forward to the release of the QR 1620 class.

    We might lament over stock being sold out but, that is a measure that Aus outline railway modelling is healthy and popular.
    Glad you reviewed AMRM, have you thought of announcing books (not a review).

    • @WillJamesRailways
      @WillJamesRailways  11 місяців тому +1

      Absolutely! The hobby is only getting bigger! Fantastic to see!
      I’d love to! If people releasing railway books want to get in touch I’d be happy to showcase them in the news!

      No layout and the R class is more than 10 years old. I’m struggling to do the reviews I’ve had backed up for 12 months. Sorry.
