QUOTE (Doug @ 29 Jan 2008, 14:47) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks for those links.
Check out the Lima. South African re-releases.
The don't look anything different to the old models. Perhaps the motor has been updated. Anyway, I'm still happy about it.
Quite a bit of Australian stock in the Lima range too.
Jouef have some fantastic modern trains and autorails. The World Speed Record TGV is there too.
Looks like the coaches may have close coupling mech's. If these pics come from Hornby it shows that they have a habit of showing daylight through their models - a slightly different angle would probably look better, but less honest ?
Now, a question - I assume that these are 3.5mm/ft scale running on 16.5mm track, so does that make them broad gauge ? (if memory serves me SA is 3'6").

After a number of attempts I got the pages to load - some very, very nice models by the looks of it.

Doubt that very much - as Neil say, the German market is the critical one weather people in the UK like it or not. The efforts will be concemtrated in the mainland european markets first, sure some products will be available in the UK but probably not as freely as we (including myself) would wish.

I could pm you address and phone # if you want.
Could do with this information myself please - just to get the few items I want for myself (I've all but given up through the trade !).
