I'd argue VLocities are no more of a niche than NSW 46 or 86 class electrics, which are being produced. Not to mention Auscision are no stranger to the solely Vic BG market, with the A class, N class, N sets, GYs, U vans, KMQ flats, T vans and E cars.

Given the variety of 4 wheelers they're bringing out, maybe they'll complement them with Z vans?

Seeing as how the latest PGH/MHG's from Trainorama only got in a couple of days ago, and four packs are already sold out with others close to selling out, Brake Vans might be a bigger seller than you think!

Apparently it is a 280 walker for thoughs interested

It certainly is a 280hp walker, price is $395.00

The look great. This will compliment my small VR branchline perfectly! Very happy!

All I can say is "YUMMY". The sample they have in the cabinet looks really good. I will be ordering at least one of these.

Does anyone have a pre production picture for those of us who can not attend ?

(If they have samples)

Hmm, looking at that photo, there appears to be quite a few corrections that need to be done to it.

The front cowcatcher is very odd. Also, I hope the small opening windows are not simply part of the clear window moulding. The panels should extend over the sides of the bogies with only a small access hatch adjacent to the axle boxes.

Was wondering how long it would take for someone to start picking up flaws in the pre production sample........

Oh come on!    That's what pre-production models are for!
Surely the critic is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.  If what is perceived as an error or ommission is not mentioned, and the item goes into production, there'll be critiscism for not noticing errors at the pre-production stage.  On the other hand, any mentions of errors or ommissions are seen as unfair critiscism: "it's a pre-production model after all".  Give James some credit and we'll all wait to hear what Auscision or their spokesperson have to say in reply.  
Now where's the emoticon for 'running for cover'?
