bingley hall Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 That picture of M55990 in blue above with an SR PMV in tow is outrageous. It will give me great pleasure recreating the combination, 47 years after taking the original. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted July 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi. Montyburns56, The project is still at the research and design stage. It's important to get this right.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello all, Thanks to Monty Burns for posting these. I should point out that while these CADs are almost done there are still a few small tweaks to be made. Cheers Ben A. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted June 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2020 From the link posted on April 29th above: “Once the factory have made the CAD corrections we will finalise the versions we are offering and open the order book (not all variants are shown above eg 55991/2 kept their corridor connections to withdrawal in late 1990 but lost their split headcode boxes) .“ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted December 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Ben said the same on the FB Live session and it says the same on our Project overview on our website. We've been through several versions of CAD, all of which has taken longer than expected. Cheers Mike Edited December 4, 2020 by red death 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padishar Creel Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hallo Mike and Ben, Why not include the WR full yellow ends with all grey roof in your livery selection? Yes I would prefer that one to the early WR livery, but excluding my wishes that would surely sell well, wouldn't it? We have seen from your other products you only produce a livery if the numbers tally, so by offering it as a pre-order, you have nothing to lose. es grüßt pc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted December 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2020 We’ve learnt the hard way that offering too much choice doesn’t help I’m afraid and does cause more work in the long run. We don’t want to repeat the 321 situation in terms of liveries. Having said which the focus has been on getting the CAD right rather than livery choices. Before we open the order book we will look again at the liveries but honestly I expect fewer rather than more livery choices as the eventual outcome! Cheers Mike 2 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted February 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi, It would seem that some either missed the Revolution newsletter email from last week, or maybe didn't scroll down far enough... Quote Class 128 - the order book will open very soon. All the final CAD amendments are being worked on and as soon as we have a final confirmed price we will open the order book. https://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=f24e36cafcafabf07d09722c1&id=15be484b64 Regards, Gerry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Don't seem to have received that newsletter (unless I accidentally deleted the e-mail!) good news re: the 128s, hopefully not too long then before the order book opens. I have tried to find the info on the RevolutioN website but failed, can Ben or Mike (Or Paul) please remind me what the spec for this model will be - is it to be Next 18 DCC compatible and will there be a factory fitted speaker?

sc2016 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 More Information Released by Revolution Trains. Information from https://www.revolutiontrains.com/express-delivery-class-128-liveries-and-options/ Quote Revolution Trains has confirmed the liveries and unit numbers it is offering of the Class 128 diesel parcels unit. Midland Region versions (55987-990) M55987 green with single whiskers and centre head code boxes and M55990 BR blue with full yellow ends, centre domino head code boxes Western Region versions (55991-996) W55994 green with single speed whiskers and split head code boxes and W55991 Blue FYE with marker lights and corridor 55992 RM red with corridor and 55993 RM red no corridor (NB not 55994 as shown below) The factory is currently making the final CAD changes and once complete we will open the order book. Obviously CAD has taken longer than we anticipated – for which we apologise – we wanted to be sure that the CAD covered all the many variants of 128s (a surprising number for a class of 10!). 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkie Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 That's excellent news. Definitely going to put my name down for the two RM versions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted February 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2021 Shame the early blue variants are not being offered now although they were muted in the original artwork to gain expressions of interest, so come on before its too late put your hands up now. I will go for W55991 in early blue for sure, speaking on behalf of the silent minority I suspect of course. Kevin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevea Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hello, Mike and Ben It's not particularly clear from the CADs posted earlier, but can you confirm if W55991 in blue 'with marker lights' has the marker lights in the headcode boxes, which appears to be the case on the drawing on your website, or is it marker lights with headcode boxes removed? The former might be the more expensive option for me... And as for the cartics, possibly a retirement present to self... Wallet's groaning already Regards Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
