Where have Kombimodell gone?

[mp55aec]

Couple of years ago when they first came out and I was modelling German HO i ummmed and arrred over a couple of there HUPAC well cars in Hunerbein in Aachen, however, now I do fancy some, there hard to obtain!!

 

The only good stocks ive seen are at a small German retailer who only does bank transfer (makes it too expensive).

 

However I see very similar models are now being sold by Rocky Rail and Hobby Trade in their 2013 offerings, are these the old Kombimodell ranges under new ownership?.

 

Also if I do buy a few unloaded well cars does anyone know of a supply of decorated trailers? ive only seen plain white, looks like I will have to buy the tractor unit too and perhaps have a dealership on the layout for Scania or Volvo lol.
