Auscision G and BL class models arrive.

The Auscision HO scale G and BL class models were arrived here in Port Hedland on the 16th of March.

The three models I ordered back on the 17th of September 2020 were all sound equipped, being G 512, G 513 and G 514. I also purchased two BL class models, again both are sound equipped being BL 28 and BL 31 which were ordered on the 19th of August 2020.

I should have them on the test track being assigned their DCC addresses during the next week, fingers crossed.

I also have to upload some older blog posts which will also, hopefully, happen during this week.
