Model manufactured by: Fybren Models
The VLX was originally produced by Fybren VLX quite some time ago, predating the VLDX and VLEX models by Aust-N-Rail. The kit comprised sides, ends, roof and floor as separate components, though quite easy to glue together.
Aust-N-Rail was selling these until fairly recently and has now released a 2-piece kit comprising a polyurethane body and a polyurethane floor, similar to the VLDX and VLEX kits from Aust-N-Rail.
