sharpshooter Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 My box arrived on Sunday, which was a bit of a surprise by the Royal Mail. Not had a proper inspection yet, but first impressions are that they look great. Cheers, Rich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mystery package was indeed a pair of IPA twins - certainly brightened up my day! It was my fault I "didn’t get" a dispatch email…found it in the spam folder today…you’ve now been marked as safe senders. My first impressions are hugely positive - they have a substantial weight to them thanks to a metal floor the entire length of the wagon. Decoration is perfect and I’m particularly impressed with the tiny wire stays which "hold up" (IRL) the hinged plates above each bufferbeam - very finely reproduced. I’ve yet to run them but so far I’ve yet to find fault. Thank you and well done all involved! 😀 Thanks, Jack. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I’ve had my full delivery now, very happy with them! All arrived intact, had them out to check them over and all is good except one centre bar coupling is missing but I’ll drop the guys a message and I’m sure they will have it sorted in a moment! cheers guys for the fantastic wagons, looking forward to the rest I’ve got on order/want to order! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted December 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hi all, We had to pause deliveries to prepare for Warley, and we took IPAs to the show for the retailers who asked. Remaining retail orders are about to be dispatched. cheers Ben A. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterspider Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) These are good quality, weighty wagons. There are lots of details you worry will break off with handling but somehow they only bend then can be bent back again. Printed details are also really good. Was great fun to try out my new airbrush on these wagons (the vans are Oxford Diecast) Looking forward to more models from this manufacturer.

RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted December 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2022 Can someone clarify where these are as far as retailers are concerned,ive had these on order over 18 months with Hattons who show them sold out on pre order,same checking Rails,the only one i can find who has stock is Kernow, they must have been here about two months,i would of thought in present times you would want the decks cleared and buy the biggest turkey with the profit......or has Santa bought all the stock.

I’ve had mine on preorder with Rails of Sheffield, I’ve had one delivered so far (flat one with no stakes) then had an email to say that I can have one more (flat with stakes) but they’ve not had all of their order delivered to the retailer so the others are on back order until Rail’s next delivery arrives from Revolution! 👍 Cheers, James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hi, A question for the Revolution Guys. I need to fit my rake of IPAs with resistors across the axles to work the train detection on my layout, however, the brake rodding is in the way of adding in the resistor (not enough room for something to rotate around the axle). Is the brake rodding structure or anything or is it safe for me to cut it away? I can't see any visual problems with it, but just wanted to make sure that it wasn't in some way helping to hold the wagons or brake pads together?

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hi Simon, The representations of the brake rods aren't connected to the moulding for the brake shoes and associated beams. I am not sure which parts you wish to pare away but I would say it is important to ensure the brake shoes remain secure and cannot rub the wheel treads. How you do this is your call! cheers Ben A.

Trains4U Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Following a customer request, we have started producing commercial wheel chocs to complement the IPA wagon four chocs are needed per vehicle (one axle is secured) these are available in packs of 16 for £12 they are extremely fine and printed in resin. please drop us a line if wanted.
