Cape Town Convention 2011

Unfortunately I will not be attending the Convention.

CMD now on YouTube

Have made a start with YouTube videos. My son has been really great with the video software. Have many videos of SAR layouts, will add as and when I get a chance.

2011

2011 approaches and many projects lag behind. Hoping that the new year will bring a better turn around in new models. The new grain wagon tooling will hopefully start taking shape and showing samples around Easter. This will be followed by the passenger coaches.

Pad printing will be the way forward and Passenger coaches with a professional pad printed livery will hopefully retail around the ZAR 200 mark. So the wait will be worth while.

All the best for the 2011.

Fun with Safmarine

Some of the Hobby Line stock heading to Bloemfontein and Cape Town.

Pad printing

Have not really reported much news on the blog or the facebook page. Have been busy working in the background. Will post some positive news shortly.

Cape Town news

Between all the world cup madness, I visited Model Railroad Specialists in Plumstead. Many SAR modellers happened to be there, so had a good chat with many of them. Mike also took delivery of stock, including some Safmarine and CX containers, DZ-7 kits and many etched detail parts.

Said goodbye to Mike Trow and headed to the RMIG meeting in the afternoon. Was a good turnout and again had the chance to chat with many modellers. The modules of Bot River station were being worked on. The plan is to have them running for the general public at the Cape Town convention next year. Look forward to seeing the modules next year.

Bafana Bafana

Wishing you luck, bring home the cup.
