Whats New

- Upgraded 11th March 2020 -

This page will show case all new products that are either under development or soon to be released. And it will be constatly upgraded as necessary. - Upgraded 28th October 2019 -
The following products are currently under development:

N Scale silo kits are under production. These kits are mainly 3D printed, with the addition of simple etches for ladders, ladder guards, weighbridge, and rear door. There will also be H pattern metal to build the rear wagon shed with plans to assist in this task. Instructions will be in the same style as the HO Silos. The range will include, S008, S016 and S024. The first run of kits will be released by The end of March 2020, I will be looking at larger kits to develop using the same method of construction, including S027 and possibly a Metcalf silo.
7 mm NSWGR Z20 Class Tank Loco Kit is being released at Rose Hill, in June 2020. The change of date is to ensure that the kit is right, and that no problems occur in the construction phase. Loco Construction classes being held at Picton in August and September, then ongoing once a month throughout 2020. This is being done to ensure that those modellers who purchase the kit will get it right the first time, as well as fine tuning the instructions. The price of the kit is $999.00 AUD, but once released, will increase to $1250.00 AUD at the end of this year
I have been playing with 3D Steel Sleepers in 7 mm, which were designed to use "Karlgarin N/S code 100 rail. This rail is made in England and has a closer resemblance to prototype rail than Peco or ME. I have used a new resin and printed Model Steel Sleepers that can self gauge this rail, and have made a small diorama, to show off this rail. Packs of 10 sleepers are available from the 7 mm section of the site. I will be looking at using these sleepers to do a model of Couridjah, in the near future, based on 3 x 1800 mm x 600 mm modules.
7 mm BMT (Bogie Tank Wagon). This kit will feature a 3D printed tank and ends, with an etched nickle silver chassis, etched brass tank wrap, etched nickle silver ladder and fittings and some cast parts for the tank supports,end syupports, turnbuckles and bogie sideframes. Expected release, last quarter 2020. Should be a very nice kit.
7 mm K/RU chassis. This kit is being developed to be a craftsman like kit, that grows in time. The chassis with W irons etchs, will be released as a seperate kit, including any rivets and cleats to hold the nickle silver frame together. After a while there will be a K wagon kit release to fit the chassis (etched nickle silver), as well as a body for the RU (etched nickle silver). The body kits will be very inclusive and should be available around mid to late 2020. I am looking forward to doing these kits, they will take some time to get right, but they should be fantastic. There is also a development of an S wagon kit as an etch kit in 7 mm, but that will be some time in the future. The aim of the kits is to teach modellers to use certin modelling techniques, such are jig building, Soldering and ensuring parts fit squarely.
There will soon be a range of HO silos such as the Metcalf silos and 50,000 Bushell silos, made up of mostly 3D printed parts. These are being printed in FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling)- PLA plastic wire. This gives them the oppurtunity to have a basic concrete look (texture) as well as making them as accurate as possible considering the limitations of such material. These should be produced some time in 2020, but the first Metcalf silo will be on my Peak Hill layout, being construced at the moment. In the future some of the older smaller silo kits will be converted to this type of kit construction method, which will make them easier for the modeller to construct and much more accurate.
The 100 foot HO Grain Shed Kit has had make over, with the addition of laminated nickle silver trusses. As well as the trusses there will also be footings for the trusses, that sit atop the pieces of rail support, to assist in attaching them to the trusses. These upgrades will make the sturcture more stable, however this will come at a price as the trusses are much more expensive that the laser cut acrylic ones currently supplied with the kit. All the other brass support pieces are also being replaced with nickle silver, making the job of soldering much easier and cleaner.
There is a new range of HO Chain Wire fencing available. The material is done in the same size as the current Walkway and Expanded mesh etches however it will be done in Nickle Silver. There will also be 30 foot (3 x 10ft HO sections x 6 foot high fence sections with barbed wire, supplied with 0.5 mm brass wire for uprights. There will also be a selection of small and large gates with and without barbed wire attached. These products are currently available.
HO Weldmesh fencing is currently available.
The 400 TPH silo outloaders will become available as a kit later in the year. They will be of the type before Work Health and Safetly issues changed the structure of the outloaders. They will be an etched Nickle Silver kit with 3D parts. These outloaders were fitted to all types of silos all around the state of NSW. Available by November 2020
Thanks for your support over the last year and I look forward to getting more products available over the coming months.
Happy Modelling and Regards Keiran Ryan
