    These people aren't stupid and they like a bit of mischief. I'm guessing that the 'obvious' answer is not the solution to the question that was asked, even if it is the one that many wanted.

    Think more widely, remind yourselves of what's in the back catalogue, maybe look at some of the less glamorous items and consider some more obscure possibilities. Who knows, but with so many new models arriving lately, perhaps we need a fresh variety of differently-coloured storage boxes to keep them in.

    Everyone must be in a hurry to get their "New C44ACi Liveries" as the Auscision website keeps crashing.

    For some perhaps

    For others, twenty five consecutive wins is more than enough

    I bet there will be some who disagree but that's racing for you

    The announcement said "improvements" but didn't specify what they were. I didnt get any of the first run so I would be interested in knowing what needed to be improved about the GY's.

    Valentino is upset. He thought "Black Caviar" was going to be a fancy new cat food.

    Well... Express Post or courier services offer next day delivery for not much more than regular slow parcel post. And of course Train World (in Brighton) is the Victorian supplier for over the counter purchases of this totally awesome model. Either would be plausible answers. Smile

    I am quite happy with mine, but occasionally they can derail because the side frames appear to be soft, and don't hold the pointed axles in position all the time.

    My mystery model livery guess was right, alas this newer style of logo hasn't been done on the ADFF's.

    The Auscision products page has had a few things moved around such as O scale locos being moved from the HO loco area. Of more interest however is a "coming soon" banner added to the passenger rollingstock section.

    The "Coming Soon" banner will be for the Spirit of Progress Sets and the 'S' & 'Z' Cars, which are meant to be being released sometime this year.

    CF44-36 and CF44-37 are still missing.

    Freightliner anyone?

    C44-36 is an undecorated version.
    Was up on the australian modeller page for a short time awhile ago before they removed it. No photo just the description. I took a screenshot of it but dont know how to post photos on here.
    Ive heard C44-37 is also another undecorated version but unsure

    I heard the 'undecorated models' were for a livery that was originally planned - but wasn't done. They weren't even shipped to Australia and the bodies produced were held for reruns or future new liveries...

    Or, thats just another rumour.
