NZR BA Class & ZM Update

The weekend saw a few updates & new projects on the cooker, one of my fathers favorites the Ba Class. This model will feature 2 versions initially, Variation #1 has an AB style smoke box & will be the initial version ordered, followed by variation #2 with an extra sand dome directly in front of the cab.


NZ120 Scale



Variation #1

Variation #2

The ZM wagon has seen a few design improvements on the 1:120 scale version & naturally will flow onto the 1:64 version.
