Regards, John P I ordered 3 x triple packs, but only recieved 1 x triple pack back in December. I've sent a couple of emails, as well as a PM to Mike, so hopefully it will be resolved at some point. I've ran the 3 that I received with a couple of C-Rail 40ft containers and they look great. I'm hoping C-Rail produce some 1980s 20ft containers to add to these.

jpendle Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 In their latest newsletter they say that there are still KFA's to be sent out and that they are only half way through the Sturgeons. Regards, John P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or look at the other end - from memory the spring clips under part of the close coupling mechanism. Cheers Mike very delayed thanks mike fixed it now for reference of others, i unscrewed and removed both bogies, removed the metal underframe part, reattached spring, put everything back together... i could have used a miniscule drop of superglue to attach the spring (as i know some do this with other models) but i didnt bother. the metal underframe and bogies should hold it in place now. be very careful when removing or re-attaching couplings though. the underframe is very well detailed! looking forward to a future second run of these wagons! tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2020 Got my Sturgeon yesterday--superb in every way! Now for the Shark please guys to complete my train! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 11, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi Crepello, Thanks for the kind words. Revolution isn’t looking at the Shark right now - it’s my suspicion that the tooling produced for the now defunct DJM brand will surface at some point. If you’re desperate there is always the NGS kit, which isn’t tricky and builds into a pretty good model IMHO. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PaulCheffus Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi I've been having a go at detailing a NGS Shark kit, some photos below. Neither the roof or the ploughs are currently attached. The ploughs have been modified to accept Peco couplings, I did want to add NEM pockets but there wasn't enough metal in the plough to do so. Overall view. Plough protection boards to be added after painting. This will be DB993729 in Olive Green. Chassis is from the 2mm SA Roof off. Plough operating gear scratchbuilt from plastic and brass. Plough operating wheels are from the kit. Plough operating details Cheers Paul 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's the NEM pockets that really matter these days. Ben's view that the DJM tooling might emerge is encouraging--I haven't given up hope for the 17 and 23 either! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Crepello Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2020 I use Dapol couplers on my stock; the Sturgeon needs the long Nemcoups to couple to adjacent vehicles; mine is coupled at one end to a Farish SR brake in olive green and surprisingly this too needs a long Nemcoup to avoid buffer lock with the Sturgeon. Furthermore, I can't see how these couplers can be used in a rake of Sturgeons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big issue for me is that the couplings seem a tad lower and the Dapol couplings are fouling in peco points due to the height being lower.

Yes, I am using the Dapol Magnetic couplings, in this case the medium length variety. The pins are pushed as far as I can get them upwards but they still caught the points. Having now donned my magnification visor I can see that there is a cut out/notch on the original coupling arms that allow the shank to clear the underside of the buffer beam and then permit the coupling head to sit higher between the buffers (if you see what I mean). This notch has been replicated on the Dapol magnetic coupling this afternoon with the aid of a small diamond coated file and all is now good, all be it with the pins still pushed upwards. Result !!

RMweb Premium Kris Posted August 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2022 Anyone looking for some of these at near early bird price should look here https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/65554/N-Sturgeon-351-Revolution-Trains-Sturgeon-A-Wagon-Triple-Pack - Came up in the sale document so is valid until sold out or the 17th August (however I have seen many Kernow sale items continue at the sale price until sold).

Hi, I've just had a look through my old photos and can't find them I'm afraid. The railway rooms getting a coat of paint and a new floor, so the layout is under covers at the moment. Once everything is set up again I will get some new photos (I suspect this will be something like 2/3 weeks time). All the best, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it has taken a few weeks, but the layout is set up again and I got a few photos (excuse the lighting, this still needs setting up properly).
