Yes, that's right. Two years. Not that nothing has happened, just life, and much planning and learning new Technetics in modelling.
Firstly, SDS models and Junction models, had an extensive trader stall, which caused a few feathers to be ruffled. On display was their 700 class SAR coach, in green and cream. Now, going forward, the two other samples have disappeared. Lent out, they have now gone missing. With any luck, these will be available later in the year. Everything is ready to go, just the factory seems to be dragging their heals. Is it not funny, how the same factory managed to do a run of containers, quick smart, for another manufacturer. If nothing happens, SDS will move all the tooling to their main factory.
Unfortunately, the delays with the 700 class coaches, have delayed the production of the 500, 600 class carriages, the Long Ton, and the luggage van, all as illustrated on their future products brochure.
Also coming, after the Victoria T class and the DL, is the Victorian X class, ex Austrains, with enhanced new tooling. In this mix, SAR AD, BD, CD passenger were under consideration, but now on hold, as another manufacturer, (who are nearly ready to release the Overland Cars) are in the process of initial studies to produce these models.
