Model Forum / General / Railroads / June 2004HO Garratt model by Eureka Models
Australian company, Eureka Models, has just announced that they will be producing an HO model of the New South Wales Government Railways AD60 class Beyer-Garratt This will be the first injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere in the world. See more information at the Eureka Models Website: http://eureka.m.bigpondhosting.com/ Eureka Models Webmaster James McInerney STOP! In The Name Of The Lore! At http://www.cia.com.au/bullack/ , homepage for "Lambing Flat" my HO NSWGR branchline, includes information on the full size NSWGR. http://www.cia.com.au/bullack/rvrtitle.html for the "Rurr Valley Railway", my G gauge West Coast of Tasmania garden line or http://members.optusnet.com.au/lambingflat/ for the family stuff! > This will be the first injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere > in the world. Rubbish - Kitmaster produced an injection moulded kit of the former LMS Beyer Garrett many years ago.

Kitmaster made an injected moulded, non-running kit (I had one). The Eureka model is (or will be) RTR, making it the first in accordance with Lambing's post.

The Australian one looks good and I will probably get one - but it is *N*O*T* "the first injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere in the world". Period. >Engage brain before putting typing hand in gear. It would help. >Steve > And it seems you reply merits the same response. Kitmaster made an injected > moulded, non-running kit (I had one).

Excuse me, the original poster simply said, and I quote: > This will be the first injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere > in the world. Which is patently untrue - the Kitmaster Garrett is both injection moulded and a Garrett. John. >>This will be the first injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere >>in the world. > > Which is patently untrue - the Kitmaster Garrett is both injection moulded > and a Garrett. To paraphrase "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"..... "Bloody pedants!" Will you accept "This will be the first *ready to run* injection moulded Garratt to be produced anywhere in the world." Which is what I intended to convey in the first place........ The Kitmaster Garratt was indeed injection moulded, but it certainly wasn't ready to run........ The AD60 will be a very fine model, with superb running qualities, the Australian market would not accept anything less...... Eureka Models Webmaster James McInerney STOP! In The Name Of The Lore!

Now that's cheating, we could go through the entire fleet of ECML Pacifics and Flamingo about like that, mind you it would be quite a Tranquil way of spending some quality time taking a Steady Aim or giving a Straight Deal to our colleagues in the Commonwealth of Australia who gave me a Shotover my bows.

Absolutely, but your original claim would contravene the Trades Description Act in the UK, plus it's always better to say what you meant rather than what you meant to say! ;-) Now how do I go about ordering one of the factory weathered examples?

Go to http://eureka.m.bigpondhosting.com/ Send Ron an order with deposit and specify that you want a weathered version. I might have to modify the order form to make that easier.....

Phil: Kitmaster Produced Motorising Kits (a power bogie - to use in an adjacent Wagon or Coach), and many Specialist manufaturers here STILL provide chassis conversions for currently available Kitmaster models (albeit labelled Airfix or Dapol) - admittedly not the Garratt though. (At least thes is more chance of 'motorising' an ex-Kitmaster than an ex-Mongram / Revell steam loco - they seem to come with 'fixed position' mouldings of connecting rods / valve gear which makes the 'no cement' instructions on fitting the wheels almost irrelevant (except for achieving alignment of the pins for the rods) SignaturePhil Spiegelhalter: Phil@fillin.co.uk ==== Technical Training for Broadcasters ===== *RE CUE Mobile DV Multi-Camera Production and Non-Linear Editing* |
