It is well weighted and the details reasonable. The white handrails are too thick but if it's a big issue they could be replaced. They do have some other trains on their website which may be of interest.
I think they still have some of the Ghan version left.
This does the North South route from Adelaide to Darwin.
There is also a forthcoming version of the CLP expected in October
This may look familiar to American modellers. This may be available with sound, the QSI DC version. Have a look at their site they have plenty of information and have photos under the skin too.
