Will J Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I have signed up to show intent with the usual disclaimer of 'something something something to do with money....'. I hope I can eventually order one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hello all, THanks for all the comments and observations. We have opened a "proper" APT-E thread here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/126155-revolution-opens-expressions-of-interest-for-an-apt-e/ Please ask any questions, or add any thoughts, there as that is the one we will find easiest to monitor. Cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbox321 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think that you have to remember what it represented and put it into historical context - for its time it was something completely different on a whole load of different levels (technical and aesthetic). Without wishing to create wishlists, the problem with the 87/90/91 is that existing models have already exist by Farish and although they could do with bringing up to modern standards it is a heck of a risk to compete with Farish (and Revolution is not about competing with Farish or Dapol (or DJM or anyone else for that matter) but about filling gaps to hopefully grow the N gauge market (and the OO market to a lesser extent!)). On a personal level I would rather have an APT-P but we also have to be pragmatic and respond to customer requests for us to investigate scaling down the excellent Rapido APT-E. The APT-P is something completely different and would require much more research and tooling. Cheers, Mike With regards the APT-P, if you ever did consider doing it, may I suggest that you do offer an "N" and "OO" at the same time. Just thinking, from a financial perspective the research could be split between both models...and just give everybody a very, very, very long time to save up!

m0rris Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Haaving just found a picture of APT-P running in a five car test formation in Modern Railways, I think I have enough justification to "rule 1" an APT-P, I ll admit that the only real attraction of the APT-E to me is the sheer quality of the 00 gauge version.

87023Velocity Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hmm, Look forward to the announcement tomorrow, class 87, 90 or 325 would be nice Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted September 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2018 Corr, a 325 or a 90 would be incredible. I’ve just started hacking mk3 coaches apart to make a 325, so that seems likely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
