dogbox321 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 They always say there is very little difference between an idiot and a genius. Perhaps there is little difference between heaven and ....... Heres a couple of views of to some, possibly of heaven on earth! (Layout still very much a work in progress, although I did achieve my aim of running a train when the TEA's arrived!) Enjoy!

Perfect Paul Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Looking very good. Please keep us updated with your layouts progress. Best regards, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbox321 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks Paul, it is on RMweb, but shamefully has not been updated since 2017 as I have just been doing little bits when I can, to get it progressing. Nathald St.Geran is the title, if you wish to peruse. Will have to get on and start adding some more. I wanted to update it so my little boy could see the trials and tribulations I've had with it. I've been at it a good 3 or 4 years now! Maintaining the layout thread It may encourage me to get things done. Most recent thing has been the wiring of the 6 storage sidings, so that the top level depot and sidings can be put in. But that needed a control panel (3 attempts etc), plus a good few hours marking out the plan and adding the mimic diagram, plus cutting and drilling holes for switches...... I'll take a photo of it and put it on the thread tomorrow morning! It shows the track layout pretty well, even if I do say so myself. Regards, C.

BritishRail60062 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I wonder if there is any plans to make another production run of these TEA Tankers in the future? I begrudge paying £245 for a triple pack of VTG Grey wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted June 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Grey ones appear to be sold out. Revolution are gauging interest for a second run of the N gauge ones, and it seems resale values of the OO gauge ones have gone the same way, so it seems conceivable.

BritishRail60062 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I managed to get myself six of the VTG Grey ones for my Hornby Class 60's. They are nice models and they are about 30% heavier than the Lima ones. A long rake of them would surely test the haulage capabilities of the Class 60 from Hornby. Here's 60008 with mine :).

Matt Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I have had my H60 lifting 10 Revolution TEAs + 15 Bach TEAs on a slight gradient - even managing from a standing start. I have a few more Bach TEAs that I can try to test the limit of the beast but have not tried yet. Last night had H56 with 10 + 13 running with no issues either.

But another thing is that if the rumours of Revolution doing another run in 2021/2022 are true then maybe its best I just settle for about 10 for now and then pre-order 22 new ones at that time. Chances are that I won't have to pay silly money for them on eBay ;). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but as for me, I would more likely get chewed out than shot and even then I would only get shot with a blast of nagging due to over indulgence! .

dogbox321 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Would probably have a rake of Heathrow tanks if they do the same as they did with N Gauge. The real "gem", would be to alter the tooling for the bitumen wagons.......... Regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillar Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Has there been any word on a possible re-run of these? I missed out the first time and would love a rake of the EWS version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted October 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2020 We’ve no imminent plans to rerun them - when we asked about re-running the N gauge version there wasn’t enough interest and we sold fewer OO tanks IIRC. I’m sure that we will re-run them at some point though. cheers Mike 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
