    The swiss company Fulgurex have just released their model of the S100 in HO. It comes in 9 different versions including US Transportation Corps and 8 different SNCF liveries. I saw a review of them in a french model rail magazine and they all looked awesome. I couldn't quite make out a release date but if all the versions are available for a photo then they can't be too far off. On the website they are called the SNCF 030 TU. These are the links to the company website but the english version is limited.

    The downside- the RRP is 1,490 swiss francs, which is a smidge over £1000!!!!!

    I hope I am mis reading the price... 1450chf = £1059 at today's prices.
    I know European models can be pricey, but that's going some.

    Yep, now around 1.4 CHFs to the pound. First time I went to Switzerland it was around 2.8, only 4 years ago. Scary.

    Check out the prices here http://www.rittech.ch/en/mod_H_en.htm

    Ouch!
