Hi,
Just thought I would briefly mention a couple of new releases from A1 Models.
First up is a second version of the popular Bachmann Plymouth conversion. This has been designed with a rounded cab roof plus a larger bonnet with three doors/grills either side and a larger radiator grill.
Second is a box cab diesel designed to fit the Kato 4 wheel tram chassis.
Both of these are priced at
Here are some photo's of an assembled test etch for the new off-center cab kit, desinged to fit a Bachmann GE 44 tonner.

Here is an assmbled test etch for the new center cab kit from A1 Models (inspired by my number 18 conversion).
This is the long bonnet version and will be available in a shorter bonnet version as well.
The Model is fitted onto the readily available Fleischmann German Railways class 212 Bo-Bo chassis. This model was/is also produced by Arnold, Roco and possibly Minitrix with slight variations to the chassis block.
This test model has a scratch built styrene footplate and buffer beams although John Flower measured the styrene footplate at the recent Wakefield show and it is intended to release the kit with an etched fold up floor pan.

Hi Darren, to add to the list, the class 212 Bo-Bo (old numbering V100) diesel is indeed produced by Minitrix and also by Rowa.

Thanks Mick, I thought I had seen one by Minitrix but wasn't sure. I didn't know about the one by Rowa though.
