Model Forum / General / Railroads / November 2007

Yes, here I am again David, making one of my rare appearances on this ng.

At the Hurstville exhibition, while I was wistfully looking at the piles of
especially-imported-for-the-exhibition cement wagons on the Austrains stand,
I was assured my fully paid-for models were in a container somewhere on the
South China Sea, implying they should be here in the not-too-distant future.
That was back at the beginning of Oct. Since then, those who didnt order in
advance have been flaunting their strings of Austrains cement hoppers
(someone bought six packs!) at the clubrooms just about every running day.
Makes me feel a bit silly about heeding the advice "get your order in now so
you dont miss out", which is what happened to me with the BCHs. Hence my
desire to make sure I got a few cement wagons. Should have realised they
would not have been quite as popular as the BCHs and that there would
likely be plenty to go around, and I could safely not order and pay for in
advance. I too could have bought mine at the exhibition had I known.

Anyone got info as to when they will be available to a Muggins  like me?
