Good idea but all the domestic train manufactors have trouble to pick
up orders recently.

EDI-rail's contract would run out in 2002 if Transperth/QR don't follow
continue order new rolling stocks. Goninah have a very small order book.
(Westrail-passenger DMU)Adtranz's future aren't so bright either(sacked
worker recently). Alstom/Siemens would rather assembly stuffs overseas.
Freight Australia/ASR-ARG-ANR/LRVF/Austrac/GNR/ATN would rather utility
stored rolling stocks and locos then buy brand new fancy toys.

A new train factory is not that promising....
