Dear N Scale customers, as many of you are aware, we were in China and Hong Kong last week and know we posted high res images of the our new HO Scale Hawker Sideley 4550 cu ft, 4 Bay Cylindrical Hopper on the site about 7 days ago. 

We were able to get the HO test images up last week as one of our staff members flew home 5 days earlier with an HO Sample and was able to get the images and articule ready for last Sunday. One of our customers came into the building yesterday and took a couple of pictures of the two new variations of the N Scale cars.

We will be posting a much more in depth articule in a few days. One of our staff members who would normally look after it is away on a family matter.

Please note these are  pre-production test shots and there are some issues to be resolved before the actual production run. Their will also be be an improvement in assembly, particularly with respect to the etched parts. These samples were done mainly to insure the assembley pattern was correct.

Remember this is just our first time we have made a new item, we hope you like it. Just imagine it in green.

A number of e mails have come in and asked if we are going to do the other applicable paint schemes that can prototypically be done on this body style, and the answer is yes. We will have more on that in the coming weeks.

So here they are:
