Welcome to the latest update for PGC Scale Models - March 2011.

March 2011

We have been busily working on several projects for the new year. We have continued working on the current orders of both rollingstock and locomotives and hopefully the light is at the end of the tunnel.

For 2011 we have the following projects that we are currently working on with release dates to be determined.

HJS
HSA
DDM Car Carrier
N Sheep Wagon
NA Sheep Wagon
WHE (May)
Sunshine Express Cars

Exhibitions:

Both PGC and Black Diamond Models (and of course "Coorparoo") will be attending the Toowoomba Model Railway Exhibition at the Showgrounds on the 4th and 5th June 2011 presented by the DDMRC.

Due to several personal commitments we won't be attending many shows this year however we are always available outside of these events.
So please if you are attending we would love to catchup.

Product Updates

The first rollingstock kit for 2011 that we will be releasing is the WHE Bulk grain wagon. These were prolific in the Southwest corner and were a feature of both steam and diesel eras.

We are in the final throws of completing the necessary components and are looking for release at the Brisbane Show through Horizon Hobbies or direct with us. Once the final costings are known we will update the website with the necessary information. As with all of our kits they will come complete only requiring couplers and paint to finish. Photos of the kit will be on the web in the coming weeks.

Steam Locomotives

Work has continued on the backlog of steam loco orders and we are making good progress. I have included a photo of the new C17 tender and will update the pictures of the locomotive in the coming weeks.

Steam Locos

Whilst on the subject of locomotives we are also now the proud owners of the BB 18 ¼ and DD 17 that was previously owned by Roger Chivas. Due to the current back log of RTR orders we will not be offering these RTR until these orders have been completed. We are also contemplating releasing kits of these two locomotives and if you want to contact us with an expression of interest for either of these two locomotives (kit or RTR) we would be happy to discuss further.

Surplus RTR Wagons Available

We currently have the following RTR wagons available.

3 x PYC Container flat $75.00 each
2 x QLX $85.00 each
1 x CMR $60.00
1 x CMN Frozen Freight $75.00
2 x CMIS $60.00 each
2 x QGA Bulk Grain Hoppers $80.00 each

From the Work Desk

I have actually found some time to complete some models for myself and recently finished a Caintoad Flats DAS Sleeper. These are wonderful kits produced by Gary Pysden and was happy with the result. Just have to send it to the weathering shop for some light dusting. Would strongly recommend one of these if you haven't got one in the collection.

I hope this has given you a quick update of what PGC has been up to however if there is any queries that you may have please let me know.

Happy Modelling
