My range of kits began in 1993, with HO scale cane train locomotives and bins. These were all polyurethane castings from my own scratchbuilt masters.
The product line later expanded into typical Queensland sugarcane farm machinery, nominally 1/80 scale, but still quite compatible for layout display with HO items.
Locomotives and rolling stock are available as kits; while farm machinery is only available in built-up form.
Locomotive kits are body shells only; no mechanisms or couplers are supplied.
Most bin kits are produced with fixed moulded-on couplings or with empty pockets to suit Micro-Trains couplers. Bin kits are set up to give a coupling height approximately 1.5mm lower than standard Micro-Trains height - this reflects the low set nature of sugar cane rolling stock. The lower coupling height however means that the Micro-Trains uncoupling pin has to be trimmed short, and remote uncoupling may not be possible.
I am happy to produce specific locomotives, and modify current kits as required, please advise of your exact needs.
