Wow- those coaches are gorgeous, but I am not sure I ever saw them get down as far as Sicily! I may have to see if I can get some nevertheless! cheers Ben A.

Revolution Ben replied to AY Mod's topic in Revolution Trains
Hello all, The pre-order price will hold until the models are ready to go into production. This will not be before the end of 2023. cheers Ben A. -
Hi all, I had never heard of Bradley Manor until it was mentioned in this thread yesterday. Again, it is nothing to do with Revolution. cheers Ben A.

Hi there, I am not sure who Bradley Manor is but he is nothing to do with Revolution! 😂 cheers Ben A.

RevolutioN Trains Announce KSA Wagons in OO Gauge
Revolution Ben replied to sc2016's topic in Revolution Trains
Hi all, The eagle-eyed may spot in melangoose's image above that the centre of the deck on the log carrier has popped up. I apologise - this was operator error when I placed it in the display; it does normally sit flat! cheers Ben A. -
RevolutioN Announces Crowdfunded N Gauge Class 128
Revolution Ben replied to MGR Hooper!'s topic in Revolution Trains
The reason for one power and one trailer bogie on this unit was it gives us both types for future models. cheers Ben A. -
Hello all, Revolution Trains will be there as usual, with some new samples to show and of course ready to chat to all about new projects, existing ones and listen to feedback and suggestions. Those who have already contacted us can also collect their new Class 128 parcels units and Avanti/Virgin Pride Pendolinos. cheers Ben A.

RevolutioN Announces Crowdfunded N Gauge Class 128
Revolution Ben replied to MGR Hooper!'s topic in Revolution Trains
Hi there, it sounds like they’re arranged as they should be and all is well. I was just concerned at your ‘wafting in the air’ remark that suggested they were not in contact with anything. cheers Ben A. -
RevolutioN Announces Crowdfunded N Gauge Class 128
Revolution Ben replied to MGR Hooper!'s topic in Revolution Trains
Hi there, The phosphor-bronze tabs should have current collection tabs from the axle pin-points bearing up onto the underside. If they are not present then your model will be collecting power from a single bogie only; in which case please contact our customer support manager Simon and he can assist. cheers Ben A. -

Hello all, The Class 128s have arrived and after being checked over we will begin sending them out to paid up pre-order customers this week. In due course we will also send out balance payment requests to those who are not fully paid up, and also send stocks to retailers. cheers Ben A.- 220 replies

Hi there, At the NGS annivesary exhibition at the NRM in May Mr Hiroshi Kato gave a talk. It focussed primarily on the development of the Kato US 'Big Boy' steam locomotive, and the technical challenges that had to be overcome, but he did mention that Kato are tooling the additional cars to produce the 9-car IET/Azuma trains. He added that development of these would not be complete until 2024, which is probably why nothing more formal has been said. It appears to me that Kato are fairly consistent in only announcing details of new models when they are not far from being with stockists. cheers Ben A.

BR Blue Class 17, What are my wagon options?
Revolution Ben replied to IMM's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Hi there, Although your Class 17 is blue all were withdrawn by 1971 so there was crossover of liveries to the end. Revolution Trains sturgeon wagon: https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/19/442/ Farish BR brakevan: Farish brake van again; Revolution Trains Class B tankers behind, though I don't know if the Clayton was collecting any! Farish minerals: They had such a short service life (5-odd years?) that there aren't that many photos online. cheers Ben A. -
RevolutioN/Accurascale MK.5/MK.5A coaching stock/DT
Revolution Ben replied to TomE's topic in Revolution Trains
Hi Ian, The Fort William and Aberdeen portions sometimes 'swap' - with one or two of the sleepers that would normally go to Aberdeen being assigned to Fort William instead to satisfy summer tourist season demand. cheers Ben A. -
Hi all, Can I ask those interested to start a separate thread on the Landrover boxes as they aren't the subject of this model. cheers Ben A.

Hi there, All models on the Projects page - including the PTAs - are in development or production at various stages. cheers Ben A.

Wow. I don't have any steam locos apart from Tornado but that slow speed running is remarkable! Thanks for posting the video. Just one thing - is this definitely a Black Five? I don't know much about steam engines but I always thought the Black Fives were a specific LMS design, whereas the 5MT is one of the family of BR standards. cheers Ben A.

Revolution Ben replied to TomE's topic in Revolution Trains
Hi Roy, Yes - good point about heat. If we’re talking a brief station stop maybe the heat won’t build up excessively but I don’t think it would be a good idea to leave them in a siding like this for long periods. I guess that’s a matter for individuals. Cheers Ben A.
