Talk:Victorian Railways X class (diesel)

Model railway section?
As far as I can tell, the only people who would ever need to use pages like this one are rail enthusiasts/historians or model railway collectors.

The third category is important because it represents a considerable portion of the total page users, so it makes sense that the data should at least be accessible from this page, if not directly included.

For now I'm copying the table here, instead of on the main page, until we can get a higher-level ruling.

1st series
In 2014, Trainbuilder released the first ready-to-run 1st-series X Class locomotive models on the market, as brass engines. At the end of 2015 Auscision released plastic 1st-series engines.

2nd & 3rd series
In the 1980s, Samhongsa/PSM released unnumbered but otherwise fully painted VR Blue/Gold, and V/line orange and grey brass models of the 2nd and 3rd series X locomotives.

In more recent times, Austrains released the first ready-to-run plastic model of the X Class diesel locomotive in 2004, with ten models of the second and third-series locomotives across three liveries. 2005 saw an unannounced expansion of the range at the Box Hill model railway exhibition in March, with four Freight Australia locomotives released. In 2007 the design was reworked to give smaller pilot holes for the coupler pockets, metal handrails and other details in better quality, with later releases in 2009 and 2010. 2014 saw the release of Trainbuilder's brass locomotives.

Years provided below are approximate.
