 3801 SAMPLE ARRIVES IN TIME FOR ROSEHILL EXHIBITION

 The final engineering sample of the re-run of the Eureka Models' NSWGR 38 class has arrived. The sample is production ready with only minor details such as wheel and buffer blackening to be carried out when out-sourced parts for the production run are delivered. 
  

 The sample was quickly put to work and ran very with no issues when tested under DC. It has now been handed over to our DCC team (Terry Flynn and John Zubrickas) for a Zimo decoder to be fitted and sound files installed.

On the subject of decoders, the 38s will be fitted with a Zimo MS440C decoder which is the same decoder used in the recent re-run of our AD60. This has proved to be a superior decoder and the Zimo people have turned out to be a real pleasure with which to work with nothing we asked for being a problem for them. As with the AD60, it is our intention to make replacement printed circuit boards available for anyone wanting to up-grade an original 38 to the equivalent of the latest run by installing a Zimo decoder. This can be done by contacting John Zubrickas on johnezee@gmail.com.

The 38 class sample complete with Zimo decoder and sound is expected to be running on the Waterfall layout at Rosehill exhibition this coming weekend.

The factory is saying that they will send us a full set of decoration samples at the end of October and that they expect to deliver the complete production run before Chinese New Year.
