A HUGE thank you and congratulations to Ben & Mike once again. The 12 I ordered arrived this morning and they are superb! Fantastic, comprehensive detail as usual with a plethora of small parts. They run very smoothly and I am pleased that they are lighter than the Class Bs. I am very, very happy. Cheers, Ged.

Brilliant model and runs beautifully. I had a problem with the front bogie as well. I unscrewed it, inserted a thin washer, screwed it back on and had no further problems. I have another on order. cheers, Ged.

There are several companies who will respray a Class 47 for you and that will be much cheaper than a commission with Bachmann. cheers, Ged.

I am delighted to see the accolades that Revolution have earned in the recent Model Rail Awards. Top of the tree for the KUA and right up there as an N Gauge Manufacturer.. Congratulations Ben and Mike, richly deserved recognition! The wonderful think is there is more to come!! Cheers, Ged

Great! Thanks Arran. can’t wait, Cheers, Ged.

Hi Folks Order pages are now OPEN! Early bird until the end of March. cheers, Ged.

Hi All My 3 Class 92s arrived last week (92003, 92018, 92036). 92003 performed like a dream straight from the box. Smooth and quiet form very slow crawl to high speed. I held back for commenting, though, as the other 2 did not run well at all. 92018 stuttered a little and 92036 was a very poor runner, would often stop without reason and struggled even with a small load. Close inspection showed that, on both locos, one of the traction tyres was slightly twisted and not correctly seated on its wheel. This meant the bogie was not lying flat and so not all the wheels were touching the rails. Adjustments made and they now run perfectly. I am very impressed with the locos and they look superb. Amazing detail throughout and the roof is a work of art. The intricate detail on the roof is far better than my CJM 92s. Printing is spot on and very fine. I love the etched roundels and depot plaques. Although the locos are light, haulage for me is OK as I will not be asking them to haul more than 10 coaches or 12 IPAs. Well worth the wait and Congratulations, once again, to Ben and Mike. Cheers, Ged.

Really pleased with the way these are looking! Thanks for the update. cheers, Ged.

HI Ben & Mike Tried to order the dummy screw link coupling bars. Are they sold out already or have they not arrived yet? Cheers, Ged.

Really delighted with this decision! I will be buying 2 at least. cheers, Ged.

Thanks for the update Arran - Looking Good!! Cheers, Ged.

Thanks Christopher, I have weathered them now to match my other stock and I like them more and more as I use them. The detail is amazing and the running qualities are superb! I have run them empty, with plastic cars and with metal Transit Vans. Perfect running no matter what the load. I guarantee, you will enjoy them! Cheers, Ged.

Hi All 12 of these beauties have arrived in the post. They are superb! Congratulations Arran on the intricate detail and the very fine printing!! Cheers, Ged.

World of Railways has confirmed that the CADs for these wagons have been approved. So dust off your credit cards as they could soon get some use. (I wonder if they will beat the 128s) cheers, Ged.

Hi Folks If you are interested there is a chance to see the IPAs in action in my latest video. It features Pendolinos and other Revolution wagons. Also to whet your anticipation if you have ordered Class 92s, there are some CJM 92s and Avocet. Here is the link:

Congratulations AGAIN to Mike and Ben. Mine have arrived and they are superb. They run beautifully as well. The red rake looks amazing, fully loaded with 24 transit vans. Only the low roof vans will fit inside the covered IPAs. Cheers, Ged.

Pity they are doing them as a pair as I already have a professional repaint of 50007. Would have ordered a single 50049. cheers, Ged.

I second the suggestion for a section for EFE Rail N Gauge Cheers, Ged.

Hi All I have made some permanent loads for my HOAs. I cut and shaped some foam to fill most of the hopper. The foam is light and adds very little weight. Then sprinkled the aggregate on top. To add some variety and colour, I had mixed Geoscenics light grey ballast with a small amount of Woodland Scenics brown ballast. I then soaked it with scenic cement from Woodland Scenics and left it overnight to dry. (I usually use diluted PVA glue but had some scenic cement left and didn't want to waste it). You can shape the foam to give irregular sized loads. Cheers, Ged.

Yes, I have put my order in as well. I do hope this gets over the line as it is a great promotion for Captain Tom and the NHS. Cheers, Ged.

I've gone for a third 320/321 in the Strathclyde livery so I do hope we get it over the line. cheers, Ged.

Yes, they are going to do a Pendolino in the New Avanti livery. Permission granted and design work is underway. cheers, Ged.

Hi All I wanted to create a personal tribute to Ben and Mike to mark the 5th Anniversary of Revolution Trains. They have brought such an exciting new dimension to our hobby. Honestly, I don't know how they do it. The amount of work is mind boggling! Designing, working with manufacturers, getting us crowdfunders to part with money, keeping us informed of progress, finding space to keep all the boxes when they arrive, checking orders, payments and invoices, parceling up each individual order and taking them all to the Post Office. All of this in their 'spare' time and as volunteers. What a debt we owe them!! Any way here is my personal tribute;

Agreed! Joel has made the wisest decision in the circumstances. Although I will have to wait for the special offers I ordered, I would rather all the staff at Chirk are home and safe. Be safe and sensible guys and gals and we look forward to business as usual when the restrictions are over. Cheers, Ged.

Hi Stu I have followed your example!! stay safe, cheers, Ged.
