On this page, you can see what is on the way for Chinese modellers. As the models are released, they will be removed from this page, and added to the Model Encyclopedia. I get much of my information from industry insiders, retailers and also from members within the Chinese modelling community, therefore - if you have any news not listed here, please drop me a line - click here for contact details. Note also, that many of the models announced usually run way over their projected release dates, some are cancelled etc, but I will do my best to keep this page up to date and accurate.
Please also note that this is a basic summary of what is coming. For more up-to-date progress on specific models, I recommend visiting the China Rail Forum.
