RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Hello all, Just a short note to say we are likely to be closing the order book for these models before the end of the month. We will send out a final warning newsletter to subscribers, but would urge anyone considering these models to order sooner rather than later. With previous models there is always a rush in the hours before the deadline closes, and the website can struggle to cope with the surge in traffic meaning that it's possible orders do not "stick." If you do miss the deadline you'll still be able to buy from our partner retailers, but of course the price will be higher as they will have to add their margin. cheers Ben A.

sc2016 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hopefully Revolution will consider releasing a VTG Blue version in the future as i have seen this variant of the JNA wagon on the national network carrying sand. It would be a bigger bonus if they release a model with a number of the real one i seen but i know this could be unlikely as there where only 8 being used at the time. Samuel.

Steadfast Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The VTG blue ones are seen virtually nationwide. There's a set heading for Cornwall from London as we speak Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hello all, Just a heads up that these wagons are shortly going into production. To give people a little bit of notice we are going to allow six weeks before we close the order book at midnight on Sunday April 28th. The DB Red and Ermewa and Ermewa Tarmac ones can be ordered from Revolution Trains on our website, while the VTG/Mendip Rail silver and GBRf blue versions are available exclusively from Kernow. For those prefer to wait and see, and are happy to pay the retail margin, we are sure several of our usual retailers will be stocking these wagons too. cheers Ben A. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hello everyone, I ordered 16 DB red ones back in December as it’s a block train I really like the look of. Back at the end of Feb at Glasgow, Ben & Mike let me have a proper look at one of the samples and it is a superb model. Good weight to it, nice solid feel and the level of detail achieved underneath really needs to be seen in person so you can see just how good it is. Certainly a good decision to order and if your thinking about it I would go for it as you will be impressed with them. cheers Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Railtec have just introduced the VTG safety egg stickers that were applied to the Mendip livery JNAs (amongst many others) from late 2018. So if you want to be really up to date, it's an interesting addition. For what added interest, the reference image supplied to Railtec was of a Mendip JNA, as per the Revolution model Jo 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the wagon numbers they been applied too? They seem to be getting stuck on the JHAs too (which I did not know VTG owned - assumed MRL!), now where is my spray can and baseball cap....

Steadfast Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I believe any link rmweb will automatically embed with the new software. You can tell it not too, can't remember how though! If you click the image it'll take you to the linked site. Regarding the Mendip fleet, it's all VTG owned and leased back, has been for a few years. The NACCO stuff wasn't, but VTG now own NACCO. I think both companies still operate individually though. I've no idea the ratio of wagons fitted with the egg sticker, they appear to be being fitted when wagons are stopped for maintenance, certainly the five blue ones that were done at Westbury over the weekend were all on VIBT. When the stickers first came out, it did seem as though a whole set had been done at Merehead, I'd guess a set that was sat for a while between loading and departure. I've seen the egg sticker on every type of wagon operated on the Mendip flows, apart from the green ex Railtrack JNA that have just reappeared Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that Railtec have done it as a decal, as it's easier to add than to remove Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
