RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Gang; Been a bit quiet on this one since Christmas..... Later; Stu from EGDL Hi Stu, Plenty is happening in China and Canada! Rapido have a couple they are testing exhaustively, and once that's done they'll send them to us, hopefully in time for Model Rail Scotland. Once chassis/lights/PCB/drive-train are approved, the liveries will be finalised and checked. I think Rapido are nticipating production taking place over the summer, with the models delivered sometime in Q3. So we will probably be closing the order book in April/May - but of course experience tells us that can change! cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 3, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hello Alan, We do have plans to open up a new item for expressions at Model Rail Scotland, since by then our Pendolinos and Class B tankers should be here (or very close.) Going forward we are aiming, at least in principle, to match announcements with deliveries. We understand that requiring people to put money up front is a big ask, and I totally understand why some might hesitate, but seeing models actually delivered will enhance our credibility with even the most ardent doubters. cheers Ben A. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best show of the year! cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It's certainly against the grain to not make the Glasgow show.....however, we have plans for a different weekend escapade later in the year.. Hoping to tie it in with some interesting rail travel.... Later, Stu from EGDL. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gedlee Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi Stu You will be sorely missed. I was hoping for a long overdue catch up! Later in the year then. Cheers, Ged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2018 Exciting stuff, both the relatively quick delivery of the 92 and the forthcoming model! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
87023Velocity Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looking forward to these 92's arriving. Got 92001 EWS and 92003 grey on order. Going to hopefully build a rake of Slimlines OTAs to run with one of them. Cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepallant Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Just had an email inviting me to pre-order 92s and CargoWaggon Twin Sets from Rails of Sheffield. I'm already (well) in but it might interest customers who are not into crowdfunding but are happy to pre-order via a shop like Rails. Also builds on the trust Revolution have already built up for themselves. Looking forward to mine! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 @BenWill the black outline for the headlights be tampo printed onto the production models? I know you painted the Caledonian one by hand and therefore left that out. But it does indeed affect the appearance of the loco? Also will the recess for the headlights be painted black/dark grey? Slotting in clear plastic just doesn't capture the look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted June 3, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi there, The light clusters will be correctly painted black. The factory making the 92 is the same one that made the Pendolino, and that is the standard of fit and finish we are expecting. Cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted November 28, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Adam Phillip, Yes, we were given a final approval sample by Rapido at Warley and the model ran well throughout the show. We are expecting to close the order book once Rapido tell us they have a factory slot ready, probably towards the middle or end of next month. If you don't want to pre-order then you should be able to get them from our usual stockists, though of course they'll add their retail margin. Cheers Ben A.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted December 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Hello all, The working sample we had at Warley has been sent to Legomanbiffo so the sound we recorded at Polmadie last year can be tuned to the motor. Once this is done the files will be sent to Rapido, and then presumably forwarded to ESU for the final version of the sound chip to be produced. Here's a photo of the sample I took before it was sent; it's unpainted as it's purely to test the running. Naturally on the production model the wheels will be blackened. We are now just waiting for Rapido to confirm everything is ready for production then we will close the order book and send them the final PO. I expect this will sometime before Xmas - we will let people know when we have a firm deadline, but if you aren't signed up for our newsletter and don't check here that frequently now may be the time to order to avoid inadvertently missing out.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted December 5, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi there, We won't see factory painted samples until production starts, but that shouldn't be too long now. We are really looking forward to this one! Cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
