Kev48 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 They were hoping production would be complete before Chinese New Year. Any idea if this was achieved as I’m wondering if the workers returning after New Year could be delayed by the health issues currently affecting their country?

The company I work for has 3 plants in China, 1 is definitely closed next week, the other 2 are scheduled to open, last I heard, but central government can decree at very short notice. es grüßt pc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted February 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2020 No, the 92s are not finished yet. Many of the factories have been asked/told not to re-open until 9 February, though this is obviously subject to changes. Aside from the obviously terrible impact to those who contract the virus what we don't know yet is how badly affected getting new workers to the factories will be ie will people want to travel or even be able to travel. That is a case of wait and see. Cheers, Mike 2 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash39 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Am I correct in assuming that the omission of the Class 92 from the latest newsletter means these are still in production with no ETA? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys recently commented elsewhere that the 92s and car transporters are the next models due into the country so possibly not far away now, current circumstances permitting! They are also having a Facebook Live session tomorrow at 18:00 so more info may be available via that: https://www.facebook.com/revolutiontrains/ Tom. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it just means that we limit the length of newsletters (one of the final paragraphs specifically says about other projects!) and/or that we have nothing new to say about a particular project. The 92s are in production but until Rapido tell us that they are ready to ship there’s not much more we can say (that is true for all projects once they enter production). Our website (click on projects) has the latest info on every project. Cheers Mike 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 On the livestream that was held on 26th, there was a mention of the Class 92. However my internet was a bit slow so the video lagged and buffered a bit. Either Ben said they will be with us in approx 5 weeks time or Ben said they will be shpping from China in about 5 weeks time Hopefully Ben/Mike can clarify this. I'm absolutely excited by this.

Hi, Just to add clarity, Ben stated Rapido had notified RevolutioN just before the Bank Holiday weekend that shipping was expected in 5 - 6 weeks. The livestream is available on the RevolutioN website: http://www.revolutiontrains.com/revolution-trains-facebook-live-3-2/ the mention is at about 36mins in. HTH Regards, Gerry.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted May 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2020 Very, very excited about these! Far more so than any grown man should be about a toy train. Went a bit heavy on the EWS ones, as they were still in wider use when I ordered them, but hey ho! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted July 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 9, 2020 Until the factory tells us that they’re ready to ship we won’t know any more information. The latest is that they are due to send us production samples for approval. Once they arrive and assuming there are no problems(!) then it shouldn’t be long before production is completed. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas G. Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Once the 92s are completed I guess they will be shipped with the IPAs, as they are (According to press releases) Close to completion too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted July 10, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello all, It is unlikely the 92s and IPAs will be shipped together as they are not being produced in the same location, but they may arrive at the same time. Neither has left China yet though. Cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas G. Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 That’s good to hear - however it may be slightly hellish for you and Mike if they all arrive at once! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 My modelling goals have changed a bit at a very inopportune time: a bit earlier and I'd have saved a lot of money by pre-ordering several class 92s, among other things, but there you go. Is the unnumbered version going ahead? Will it include names, depot logos and beastie vinyls for all of the locomotives? Thanks Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted July 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hi Jim, The unnumbered version is just that - fully painted triple grey body with electrification flashes, TOPS panels and small markings but no numbers, BR Arrows, depot plaques or other identifying features. Etched versions of the plaques, arrows and Chunnel rounders are included, but number and name decals will need to be sourced separately. I am not totally sure which retailers are taking stocks of these, and as ever due to cancellations etc we may have a flash sale in a few months of anything left over, as we did with the HOAs and IZAs. cheers Ben A. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas G. Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Presumably! There are so many amazing aftermarket goods for all manner of models, such as the obliteration patches someone made for Revolution’s Cemex HOAs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
