Stu from EGDL Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi Gang, If Kernow have concrete information that the Strathclyde one has made the cut ( the issue of a stock number is hopeful), then that is most excellent news. It means now that I need to alter/ tidy up my orders with Revolution to get the best mix of Saltire and Strathclyde 320s, sort one or two with sound and ditch the 321 from the order as the interim version sent to Scotland before conversion to 320. Later, Stu from EGDL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later, Stu from EGDL. On the Kernow website it says the SPTE orange version will only proceed if there are enough orders, likewise the Silverlink 321, so it doesn't appear to be definite that these are going ahead yet. Fingers crossed they do as I'm sure a lot of people buying an orange 320 will also want an orange 314. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted July 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hello all, Just for clarity neither Strathclyde PTE or Silverlink are confirmed but unlike Northern, FCC and plain white they are still in the running. Full explanation on our website, with explanation of how the twin deadlines will work, and we’ll be explaining (and answering questions) in our Facebook Live on Tuesday evening at 1900. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will be contacted about orders for liveries which aren't going ahead? My original order included one in First Great Eastern, with a second choice of Plain White. Neither of which is going ahead! Presumably I have the option to switch to a different livery, or cancel and get a refund on that deposit (or put it towards final payment on models that are going ahead?)

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hi Justin As our my reply on email - we have to sort out any changes in order to submit the PO to start production (deadline for orders is 20/9). We’ve set up a form on our website for people to make changes to orders where necessary: https://www.revolutiontrains.com/3-2-1-its-the-final-countdown/ (ignore any reference to needing to do that by 30/8 - that was to establish if Strathclyde Orange and Silverlink could go ahead). If you have a second choice livery that is going ahead (and your first choice isn’t) then you will automatically get your second choice (unless you tell us otherwise). Any refunds will be after 20/9. On the plain white / undecorated versions - we’re definitely able to offer one or the other. We’re still working with the factory to establish exactly the level of painting that will be possible - as a minimum it will likely have common parts eg cab front and windows painted. The bodyshells are likely to be either plain plastic or in a light primer colour. We’re also discussing level of assembly to try and make it as easy as possible for people to repaint eg can we supply the glazing painted but unfitted etc. NB the form doesn’t allow a change from a 321 to 320 or 320 to 321 - we can do that but it is a more manual adjustment as it involves a change in price as well as livery! I’ll be sending out a newsletter detailing all this during this week. Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I’m tempted to order a Silverlink 321, but the colours on the (quickly photographed) body shell did look quite off. Will there be a change to this livery at all? Equally, did the samples of the other liveries arrive at all? Keen to see how they look before ordering.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 10, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi David, I am not 100% happy with the colour of the Silverlink unit; it seems especially variable with light conditions. For example: Purple in bright light: Bluer in overcast conditions: Close up: (All photos linked from Flickr) Rough painted 321 shells for colour checking: My view is our model (although specified RAL violet-blue) is a little too blue, and the green is a shade dark, and we are going to amend this. cheers Ben A. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmthtrains - David Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks Ben, Just that photo of the three body shells together has convinced me to order. Still a little dark as you say, but looks much closer just in different lighting. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would purchase a 321 in primer to paint into Northern if you can confirm that it is going ahead. Cheers Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash39 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I also thought the plain version had been pulled so that is great to hear. After repainting a Dapol DVT recently and pulling my hair out trying to re-insert the tiny fibre-optic light guides (and then snapping one of the tiny, fragile wires forcing me to get the soldering iron out), hearing that ease of re-assembly is being considered at this stage is music to my ears!

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2020 We have always offered an undecorated version as well as a plain white version - the plain white version has been cancelled but as I mentioned given the way the 321 is constructed the factory has agreed to paint some parts where it makes sense to do so.

Karhedron Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have finally succumbed and placed an order for an NSE liveried unit. Well, I need something to run alongside the 313 that's coming along behind it don't I? 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
