Is there any company that makes N scale models of Australian prototypes? Any info would be helpful, thank you.

I found this list:

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Powerline www.powerline.com.au make a ready to run N scale Clyde G26C (an export version of the SD38) using an Atlas chassis. It is sold in "Freight Australia" dark green.

The Spanish company Ibertren make (or made) an Alco DL500 cab unit which was available as a New South Wales "44 class" in Indian Red with yellow lining.

These Alcos might be found used on E-bay.

A number of good etched brass kits are available of a number of Australian prototypes.
