I really miss the posts about what has been promised for the model railway market. So I am thinking that folk here and manufacturer (spies?) might like to post what they know is already announced with reference to where the announcement was made. What do you think? The information gained by us all could be interesting, and keep us all up to date.I should give an example. Lets try an easy one

One only needs to open this months AMRM to find a plethora of new model announcements, many of which also have the details on the manufacturers websites and/or facebook pages.Did not know the mag was out. I am one of the shrinking readers of this mag, butI think its better to see the stuff on line as soon as it happens. printed media is usually months out of date, or fails if they try and get stuff in 3 months ahead, only to find the factory slips back and the product is still months away. Despite the bad bits, I like chit chatting on Railpage Australia™. I also look forward to your posts, Poath which let us know much of what I asked here.
Ixion - VR MM and LL bogie livestock wagons
Casula - 4 wheel NSW rollingstock including another ABV variation, WT water gin, and S shunters float
IDR - CHS coal hoppers
Auscision - CHS coal hoppers (with bonus SSR grain hoppers), Flexivan container wagons (+ containers, and modernised versions), CLP9 in "Auscision livery" (ok, technically not announced, but it's a no-brainer)
SDS - more revamped ex-Austrains models such as the livestock 4 wheelers and some secret VR rollingstock. And the AN steel cradle wagon announced a few months back. And more variations on the NSW cowboy cars including the VUB's and RG announced a few years ago.

....Just moments ago on facebook I came across the flyer for the next Casula Hobbies RTR loco, the NSWGR Z12 steam loco.I swear I've looked and searched FB and their site and can't find said flyer. Any chance you could post a link please?
This page used to supplement the more traditional publications, even a few responders in this thread contributed with frequent updates (which I highly valued)I am not sure what else is coming.
Doesn't seem like the case anymore, this forum may have lost its relevance regarding commercial updates
They had some samples at Diamond Creek, the VR V class and M class interested me, but the visible print lines had me on the fence. Though that steam F-class body has me interested, wonder what mechanism it's been designed for.
I found a new cottage industry (to me, at least) at the Albury Exhibition.
