Oh yeah!! +5,000 the Transporth decker - !!!

A bit of confusion on the MkIII - has school lights, but no school speed sticker and a couple of other little bits and pieces not mathcing up - nice that they've done another more modern Sydney bus though.

The photo would probably be of a pre-production sample, so not too late to point these out to them

Cheers!

Yes, but the model is due next month, say about 7 or 8 weeks (if on time).

If not pre-production sample, different destinations may have been better, like say Speers Point (OUT) or Newcastle (IN) via Kotara.
Having Newcastle via Gateshead West makes it seem like say a 323, 324 or 325.

Who knows if they are going to be sold in Sydney stores such as that book shop in central station which was selling the sydney Mk II.

i just don't want to miss a chance to buy this newcastle one since it was too late when i head over to pick up the sydney Mk II.

Yes give them a call during business hours, providing you have a credit or master/ visa debit card, you will have the order processed faster then me typing this post.

Trux on line is also very good. And it looks like trux have listened to what buyers want and I,m sure this one will sell out fast as I have my order in, who else has ??

i might buy it online but i prefer buying from retailer store instead.

And why don't Trux models have mirrors like the Ozbus and AUbus range.

Exculding from the price/cost is there a reason to not include mirrors cause it looks like a kids toy but still i'm buying it since it's only $47.99.

Because mirrors brake easily.

Well that's true since my AUbus 1002 Volvo B12Ble fell off the shelf last week i will need to fix it.I do agree that they are very fragile but it add's a bit more detail to the model.

Trux does not normally sell through retailers.

SBM and ARHS Bookshop do get a small allocation, but I think they charge more to get their profit margin.

Sorry, don't know, but they sold out in a couple of days.

If you want to buy off them, perhaps you can pre-order/pre-pay to secure one.

Not really "new tooling", just re-use of existing.

Just ordered mine.Since it's my first time buying off Trux,is it normal that after you entered your address and credit card details you do not get a email from trux staight away?only got a order number.

Had to buy it now before it's too late as i missed out on the Mk V new castle buses and Mk II urban tranist.

If any one know where there are still stock of ethier ones which probebly be unlikliy please let me know.

You should get an "order confirmation" email with a reference number. How did you get an order no if you didn't get an email?

Your c/c shouldn't be charged until time of despatch.

Only place you're likely to get those models now is off ebay :evil:
