General
These were an extremely short run of cars built in Lativa by Modela and sold via the short lived White Dragon Models. There were three road numbers available out of a spread of 50 models.

Details
The main body and bogies are cast resin, which enabled a very high quality finish, capturing all the very fine details. Unfortunately, being resin, after a few months in the Australian summer, many of the cars on my layout started to develop a body warp due to the room heating up. The other details are made from pressed brass (doors, ladders, steps, etc) or etched brass (walkways). These details, and the limited production run, made them very expensive to produce which was reflected in the price.

Performance
The cars are weighted nicely, much of this being in the resin body. The metal wheels have fairly high profile wheels, but a little less so than the type used on many of Bachmann China's products, so running on code 83 track is fine.

Coupler Conversion
The cars have a coupler box that can accept any KD type couplers - recommended medium shank (#5 - or #58/158 scale head).

Other Notes
While these cars border on impossible to acquire, they have been very happily accepted by those lucky enough to have got one.
