  1. Deposit Paid. Looking forward to this. Cheers, Ged.
  2. Collected my 28 HOAs at Glasgow with examples of each of the liveries. These are absolutely superb models with exquisite details and wonderful fine printing. The free running qualities are quite amazing which is probably due to the fact they are nicely weighted. I experienced a slight problem with tight bogies that was easily remedied by loosening them with a small screwdriver. Ben has illustrated the solution on the Revolution website. Now to weather them and add some loads. A HUGE thank you, once again, to Ben & Mike. Ged.
  3. Great to see a significant number of N Gauge layouts. Really looking forward to the exhibition. Eight of us from The Northumberland Area Group of The N Gauge Society will be there, as usual, on Friday. Cheers, Ged.
  4. Superb!! Can't wait to have them running on Leefield & Ashpeth cheers, Ged.
  5. Having seen the model 'in the flesh' and having met Sam, the man creating the model, I am delight d and enthused by both. Sam appears to have an impeccable pedigree in the N Gauge model making world. His humble desire is to create the best N Gauge model possible. So, I have 2 on order and I am really looking forward to enjoying them. It is also clear the Ben and Mike have great faith in Sam as they have trusted the 320/321 to him. Evidence, so far, illustrates that their faith is well founded! cheers, Ged.
  6. Huge congratulations to Ben and Mike for just over 5 years for RevolutioN!! You have brought us a great range of superb models that we may have never seen in N Gauge without you. Plus there is a mouth-watering list of models yet to come. Thank you so much for all your hard work and here's to the next 5 years. Cheers, Ged.
  7. At last something about the Class 91 and its development. I often despair when I come on to this page looking for 'news'!! One day we may even be talkin about the N Gauge version. I live in hope!!!
  8. The 6 I ordered arrived today. A very pleasant surprise as I was not expecting to receive them until after Christmas. They are superb in every way. The detail is amazing, maintaining the very high standard of goods that Revolution produce. Well Done Mike and Ben once again and thanks for despatching them so quickly. All the Best for Christmas and the New Year, you have earned it!!! Ged.
  9. Once again Congratulations to Ben & Mike. Wonderful wagons. Can't wait to get my orders in. Have a great Warley Show gents!!! cheers, Ged.
  10. Great to hear the Cemflos are in tooling! Faster than I thought!! cheers, Ged.
  11. Hi I had the same problem until I weathered the wagons. I weathered the couplings as well with a little Matt acrylic paint and the uncoupling problem has gone. I think the paint must help the couplings to 'grab' each other. cheers, Ged.
  12. I agree! At least one will have to join my collection as well. So, I will start saving now. Cheers, Ged.
  13. I have created loads for a large range of wagons. I cut pieces of foam to fill half or two thirds of each wagon. It means very little added weight and the foam can be cut on the top surface to create irregular loads. Then I top up with coal, ballast or a choice of aggregate. cheers, Ged.
  14. These look absolutely superb!! Another feather in the cap for Mike and Ben. I am really glad that I have already collected a good number of Transit Vans. Cheers, Ged.
  15. Hi Arran Thanks for the update! The wagons look superb! They are just what we need to enhance the look of our trains. Can't wait. cheers, Ged.

  17. Great. It will be good to meet you. I will be operating the Long Hirston Modules. Cheers, Ged.

    I splashed out and have 4. All purchased from Durham Trains of Stanley. They all are beautiful runners, quiet and controllable. Even smoother and quieter after a good running in. They negotiate my Kato points with ease. I think, as has been said, that they look good from normal viewing distance. I have weathered the Tyne and Wear model and it is a significant improvement, particularly around the lower door areas. Cheers, Ged.
  20. Hi The non-evito VTG blue are available on the expression of interest page. I have put my name down for some along with other liveries. cheers, Ged.
  21. Absolutely Wonderful Mike & Ben I will be in for sleepers @ TPE. It is intriguing how Revolution manage, on a regular basis, to persuade me to spend. However, the quality of the models makes it well worth it. Cheers, Ged.
  22. Hi Dave I agree! Please return here and to the N Gauge Forum. Remember the good times when members praised you for being so open with us all. Members were really grateful when you posted images of developments, giving us all the opportunity to suggest refinements if we felt that they could improve the models. No other manufacturer has done that as consistently as you have. Embryonic businesses need all the support they can get and a huge number of us are willing you to succeed. There will be occasional criticism, but that is par for the course. Taken sensibly adverse critism can still be converted into something constructive. You have broad shoulders and a huge wealth of support from those who genuinely care. It was a very brave decision to go out on your own in establishing a totally new business from scratch. Issues in China have certainly not helped, but your are weathering them with aplomb and things are looking much brighter and more positive. Please, please let everyone know so that the messages get out there to bring more customers on board. All the Best, Ged.
  23. Hi Without 'spilling the beans' I can confirm that the 92 Newsletter was positive. I have ordered from Revolution and DJM and I am glad that I have as Revolution are not doing the Stobart version. Cheers, Ged.
  24. When this was announced they made it clear that the order book for the 128 would open in 2019. Certainly not forgotten! Cheers, Ged.
