We’re sure you’ll agree that the addition of colour has truly brought the T3s to life, showcasing the impressive level of detail in the new EFE Rail models. As production is due to begin shortly, we must now confirm our final order quantities with the supplier. An order deadline has therefore been set for Wednesday 16th July 2025.

Please note that any orders placed after this date can only be fulfilled if surplus stock remains, so we strongly recommend placing your full order before 16th July to avoid disappointment.
