March 2013 Update:
Thanks to all those who braved the heat to come support the smaller manufacturers/ traders at Sanddown's Market stall day on Sunday 10th. Those in attendance would of notice two things at our stand; the first been some our products have had a slight price increase this is simply due to the addition of decals to those kits. The second and more exciting thing is that we announced that our VR BP Oil Tanks OT 77 (low dome) and 78, 79 and 80 (high dome) will be released at Hurtsbridge show over the Easter break! These kit should include a cast tank, underframe, side walkways & bp sign board, brass ladder and decals. They will retail normally for approx $35ea or 4 for $125 (save $15). We will also have a show special for the Easter weekend which will include 2 for $65 (save $5) and 3 for $95 (save $10). We would appreciate those modelers who wish to buy a 4pack at the show to contact us and make a pre-order to avoid dissapointment. No payment is required with preorder (cash on pick).

NEW short wheelbase VR HD Sand Wagon

NEW short wheelbase VR HD Sand Wagon

 

This sand wagon group consisted of hand-me-down IC Tippler (I/IA Tommy Bents) rollingstock placed into low mileage traffic. These 11 wagons were built at Bendigo Workshops from 1972 to 1975 and were used to traffic locomotive traction sand. The IC’s already had their doors removed and a sheet of steel welded in. With the conversion to HD Sand wagon they also had hoppers installed and discharge shoots added to the wagons.By the early 80’s these short wheelbase sand wagon were either taken of register, scrapped or modified and renumber for another use. There were other similar wagons that were built to the same design but used the surplus longer wheelbase RY wagons.

This wagon will be released SUNDAY at Sanddown Exhibtion. It will retail for $20 and will include decals.
