Anything new from Wuhu?

[ChessieRR]

I was running one of my Wuhu locomotives today and was wondering if anyone has heard anything from them in a while. I am pretty happy with the models I have from them, and hope they will come out with some more gauge one stuff.

I am not sure if this is new but they appear to be doing a 'Black 5' cheers, Rob

I guess now that they have used up all the designs copied from Accucraft it will take them much longer to design anything themselves.

Ah sorry you have to be a time served forum member before photo's can be posted (can't remember how long though - is it 30 days). It's an anti-spam measure.

A quick heads up. Members of the 'My Large Scale' forum have warned that the Wuhu / Bowande website or links attached thereto may contain a Trojan horse virus.

I wonder what the Jub looks like 'in the flesh'.
I would love one but it is a very tricky loco to get right. The smokebox/boiler barrell often look too small and/or too long.
It can only fractions of a millimetre but it often shows.
