23.01.2022 Bowser Trains MLW ALCO 630. Weathered by Rob Arsenault of Edmonton Alberta Canada

20.01.2022 The last few days have been busy to say the least, Finally I've got the ESU Loksound in all my Pacific National C44's, as well as 3 QR National and ARG units.. Lead by 9301 and trailing two 92 class units, they pull less than half my normal coal rake. They sound amazing on a grade with full throttle engaged. :)

19.01.2022 A revisit to some CP Rail Iron Ore movements..In Northern New South Wales Australia?? Oh well I love it none the less.

18.01.2022 Hi Everyone, so heres a look at the CN (Canadian National) variation of the BUDD RDC by Rapido Trains INC. I just love this livery. I took the time tonight to flip the lid on it and place some passengers inside. I wanted to do this with the Commonwealth Railways RDC but it just wasn't feasible at the time. I think it really adds some more "realism" to the units. Cheers everyone. Jay.

14.01.2022 Hi guys, Today I had a play with the new C44's fitted with ESU loksound and full throttle these units really sing. QR National distributed power.

12.01.2022 Hi guys, just a quick note on the new Auscision C44's, the factory wiring on many of them is wrong, with the head light and track power wires crossed, The side effect is the front headlight stays on all the time and the rear light sometimes won't come on at all, in other cases the unit just continues to short out. Look at the pictures attached and if you have dramas, follow this fix: Black wire from the chassis mounted light bar goes to tab FL on the mother board, the red wire goes to tab marked U+, boogie wire red goes to tab TR(track right) and the black boogie wire goes to tab marked TL( track left). This will fix the problem for you any questions I'm here to help, quality control issues like this really shit me and it should have been sorted at the factory. Anyway I hope this helps

11.01.2022 Hi everyone, here's a short video of the Pacific National units in action

11.01.2022 Hi all, Check out Bowser Trains for more details on upcoming releases and in stock models available from Notch 8 Precision..Bowser will soon be releasing the second run of SD40-2 locomotives that are just amazing and the VERY HIGHLY anticipated SD40-2F Red Barns...http://www.bowser-trains.com http://www.bowser-trains.com/new/GMD%20SD40-2F.html http://www.bowser-trains.com/new/gmdsd402.html Below you will find some prototype pictures of SD40-2F Red Barns and SD40-2's.

11.01.2022 Dusk on the flats and a pair of very clean British Columbia Railway SD40-2's 763 and 766 idle away waiting to move on the loop line. (Bowser Trains SD40-2's fitted with ESU Loksound)

10.01.2022 Hi guys, Today with the help of David Smith and Josh Beverage, I did some new loco sound recordings at Trainworks Thrilmere. As well as re-recording sounds for the 40 class, I recorded accurate sounds for the 48 Class, 442 Class, 49 Class, and 45 Class.YES!! the 48er and the big "Jumbo" These will be the first hyper accurate sounds recorded for these locomotives including engine start up and shutdown, accurate notching up and down and idle to full power, compressors, Horns a...nd brake releases and several "in cab" sounds. Finally NSWGR modellers will have the correct sounds and features for upcoming model releases and for existing models they wish to fit sound to. The 442 horn was a hell of thing and is so unique, and finally now a 48 file thats recorded in amazing digital sound for the 48/830 class and believe me it sounds fantastic. A big thanks to the Rail Transport Museum for their ongoing help and we will be back for more recording next month. Jay See more

07.01.2022 Hi everyone!

Shipping begins on Monday and local customers can pick up or I will drop them off for you. Everyone should have theirs for Christmas. Cheers!! . Jay and Jess.

05.01.2022 Well its official now, we are the sole distributors for Bowser Trains in Australasia!! We are very proud to have bowser on board. Bowser manufactures some of the finest HO scale locomotives and rolling stock available today along with kits and detail parts for HO and other gauges, These locomotives all feature my beloved ESU Loksound DCC and sound decoders. We are taking orders now for Bowsers upcoming releases like the SD40-2F (Red Barns) and the second run of SD40-2's. Given the response to the first run I'd say these units won't last long and the SD40-2F units will sell out in no time. Please visit Bowsers site http://www.bowser-trains.com/index.html and contact us for order information. Thanks guys. Jay.
