  1. Yes - we will take a small number. cheers Ben A.
  2. We won't have a way of testing it however Simon, our customer support manager, will be on our stand and will assist if possible. cheers Ben A.
  3. Hi all, Revolution Trains will be there on Stand 7 at the far end of the Great Hall, opposite the Rose Window. Looking forward to seeing some of these excellent layouts when I can get away from the stand! cheers Ben A.
  4. Hi all, I’m not sure what buses have to do with this thread, and the model won’t have any batteries in it. Cheers Ben A.
  5. Hi there, 91604.1 is for the 59/0, 91604.2 for the 59/1 and 59/2. The difference is the 59/1 and 59/2 can show night running mode. cheers Ben A.
  6. Hi there, Just add to Jo's post, my understanding is that the first Freightliner order came in during a short pause in EWS deliveries, to allow time for the design variation of incorporating the buckeye coupler to be completed. To avoid shutting down the production line five locomotives under construction that had been intended for EWS were quickly reassigned to Freightliner, and became 66501-5. These had the 'wide' lug positions. The 'narrow' spacing came about as it did not occlude the buckeye coupler equipment; but once settled on it was retained as the standard for EWS 66201-250 and then all subsequent locos, whether buckeye fitted or not. cheers Ben A.
  7. The design is very much to Stadler's 'house' style, and incorporates some standard items such as lights, cab quarterlights etc but obviously the whole thing has been sized to fit the UK loading gauge. Personally I think the Stadler locomotives are a good-looking design, and the ROG's green livery suits them well. But I suppose I would say that! cheers Ben A.
  8. Hi all, We have shown CAD before on this: What we are doing now is comparing the material we were sent by Stadler with the actual locomotive we filmed recently to see if we can identify discrepancies to be corrected before tooling begins. cheers Ben A.
  9. Hi there, For any 'what's the latest on...' type questions please see here: https://revolutiontrains.com/projects/ cheers Ben A.
  10. Hello all, Happy to see the NGS Hunslets finding a role on 2mm layouts. And I should point out that Nigel can take a good share of the credit for the sweet running of these locos as he was heavily involved in testing, developing and improving the PCB with its integrated decoder in the models. cheers Ben A.
  11. Hi all, We won't be doing unpowered sets. I think the only reason they are ever suggested is because it is thought they might be cheaper. But that is a myth. When modern features like lights, PCBs, decoder sockets etc are considered the only real difference is a $5 electric motor, and that saving is so paltry it's frankly not worth the extra admin and design time. cheers Ben A.
  12. Just be glad he didn't say Cavalorrhoids... cheers Ben A.
  13. Hi all, We haven't finalised exactly which variants we will be offering. Strathclyde PTE red/black and Scotrail Saltire are definites for the 320, and Network Southeast and London Midland for the 321. In N we were able to produce carmine and cream 320s thanks to the AMRSS, and the Silverlink 321s thanks to a successful expressions of interest exercise. Before the models go up for pre-order we will be considering realistic options for other variants while keeping in mind that we do not want to over-produce. Shelves of unsold models help neither retailers nor Revolution. cheers Ben A.
  14. Hi there, If you’re visiting Model Rail Scotland this weekend Martin Stewart’s Tulloch Bridge in 4mm is well worth seeking out for inspiration. cheers Ben A.
