Class 56 Project Update

Today we have received a photo of the first bodies of our Class 56. Excitement levels have just risen tenfold having seen all of the variations captured in plastic!

We hope to have our first working EP sample a the end of the month.

HAA Arrival

Our first shipment of HAAs have arrived with us in the UK ready for QC checks - before being distributed to Trains4U and KMS Railtech next week. Thanks to everyone who has supported our HAA project; we cannot wait to see them on modeller’s layouts!
