TP09 had that honour on 24 August, followed by TP11 on 28 August and TP04 on 19 September. TP06 has been accepted but not yet entered service. TP01,02,03 and 05 are in secure storage at Longtown for the time being. Hasn't been decided yet but if they were the first two in service then yes, prob one of those. Thanks for the info. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
97403_Ixion Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply. It's hard to find which ones were dragged via the GWML but judging from various internet sources, it sounds like TP09 was the one with (loose) plastic covering that came through on 15 Nov 2018 behind an ex-Northern Belle 57, so that would do me OK. I could add a plastic cover if needs be! My first sighting would have been an uncovered unit on 2nd October 2018 but not sure which unit that was... maybe TP06? So, it sounds like TP09 would be my choice, based on Floreat Industria's post...assuming the other sources were correct about the drag! Thanks, Ixion.

Yes, TP09 was dragged north on 15/11/18 and TP06 was on 2/10/18 Out of interest, the last but one to be delivered, TP13, came north yesterday, 1/10/19.

Floreat Industria Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Two other sets have now entered service. TP12 took its first passengers on the 5th and TP06 on the 12th October. TP07,08 (currently accumulating mileage prior to acceptance) and 13 have yet to be accepted and as mentioned before TP01,02,03 and 05 are in store. The last one,TP10, and a spare driving trailer should be delivered before long. Edited October 24, 2019 by Floreat Industria typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyboy Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I've just been looking at Revolution Trains' website for the MK5 TPE loco hauled push-pull coach set, and would love to buy one! But just a quick question... Are they 'Limited Editions'? meaning I have to buy one rather soonish, as I'm sure they'll sell out soon? Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpendle Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Yes they are, effectively, a limited edition. You can buy at the Revolution price until the order book closes, or from a few retailers after they have been delivered. The retailer price will typically be higher than the pre-order price.

jpendle Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Oh, they can't sell out, at least not until the order book closes, as Revolution will make as many as have been ordered, by both individuals and retailers. Regards, John P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floreat Industria Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The last set, TP10, came north to Crewe yesterday, 23.10.19. Only spare driving trailer 12814 remains to be delivered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamphillip Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 definitely thinking about getting a set of these, too bad I only have a DRS 68 and not a TPE one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted July 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2021 DRS liveried 68s are used if the TPE 68s are undergoing maintenance eg final photo here: https://docbrown.info/docspics/ArchiveSteam/lococlass68.htm Cheers Mike 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TomE Posted September 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Had a close up look at the Mk.5s at TINGs (thanks Ben & Mike!) They promise to be some of, if not the best, coaching stock produced in N Gauge to date. There are more pics along with a round up of other Revolution projects here Tom.

97403_Ixion Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hi Ben/Mike/Revolution, As the Mk5/5a deadline is approaching very fast (28th Feb 2022, according to the Projects page), has it been decided yet which unit numbers are being produced for the Mk5a TPE units? I gather Accurascale's are to be TP01 and TP02 but are Revolution's N-gauge ones the same? I really want to get one but would to like make a choice that best suits me. Thanks in advance, Ixion.

97403_Ixion Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Help please! With today as the quoted deadline for orders of the Mk5/5a coaches, does anyone know which Mk5a Nova3 sets are being produced? I cannot find any reference on here, on the Revolution website or response to queries... though I expect Model Rail Scotland has taken focus so not complaining there, but I hope someone knows?

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted March 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Hi there In the Revolution N gauge versions, Pack 1 is TP04, with destinations Scarborough and Liverpool Lime St, and Pack 2 has the vehicles numbered to represent set TP09, with destinations Scarborough and Manchester Airport. Apologies for the late reply but we have just got back from the Glasgow Show - a fun, but exhausting, weekend. In practice I suspect we haven't yet deactivated the order buttons on the website's e-commerce platform, so if you want to make changes you probably still can for the next few hours. cheers Ben A.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply - I expected things were a bit hectic with the show at the weekend. Can you tell me how I can change the order? I had to assume the sets were TP01 and TP02... but my choice was one of the two that came past the GWML on their trip up North. Hence, I was after either TP09 or TP06... so TP09 is my preference of the two (TP04/TP09). Given the order had to be placed within the deadline, I ordered Pack 1 (thinking it would be the first of the sets, TP01). Do I need to cancel the current order and if so, how do I do that? I see the other one is still available to pre-order... so can get in quick... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Hi Gang, Oops…just managed to get an order in for an Aberdeen sleeper set before the deadline. Well, I did travel on it to the SECC show last Thursday night!!! Later, Stu from EGVN Edited March 1, 2022 by Stu from EGDL 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
