Austrains update: CLP & T class diesels (GM export models)

G'day all :-)

The Austrains site has just had a quick update with photos of some of the samples parts of the CLP and T class locos that arrived from China recently.

John is expecting to take delivery of the first complete, working T class today, so we should have some more photos soon.

As is to be expected these days, delivery dates for the finished models have "slipped" a little, and are now expected in November for the T and December for the CLP.

Also after John's very successful Sales Drive recently, the 80 and the 421 have now completely sold out, as have some of the variations of the 442/700 and NR.

Somehow, it doesn't seem right for Austrains to be without an 80 class ;-)

The Sales Drive continues though, with a "giveaway special" on JL 401 and JL

402, both now available at $120-, down from a rrp of $245- (I think he wants to clear some space for the Ts and CLPs.... ;-)
