Thanks in advance!

Models of New Zealand Railroads Equipment
I am interested in collecting/operating some different HO scale models of various New Zealand railroads, e.g,. Kiwi Railway, etc. The only models I have been able to locate are made by Frateschi, a Brazilian model train manufacturer, and not much is known here in the USA about their model train business.
