We recently received notification of the purchase of the EurHo product line by Transcale. Below, in its entirety, is the note we received:

Just a note to advise that the old EurHo models business has been acquired by a new propiertor Transcale. Transcale specialise in European brass railway locomotives but have decided to commence production of a new series of HO 1/87 European model buses. We have tried to revive the old EurHo Van Hool city bus castings but as these have been out of use for some time the effort has become cost prohibitive. I do believe that the Belgian distributor Jocadis in Enghien may have some model kits left for sale, but this is only word of mouth and not confirmed.

We are introducing our first European bus model in May and this is the Heuliez GX107 french two door citybus, this will be soon followed by the GX187 articulated model. As with the old practice my by good friend at EurHo the kits will be very highly detailed and include three different decal schemes in a kit box.

Full details of the business are as follows (postal only no callers)
