Stu from EGDL Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi Gang, This is great news. I will be in for a bundle of 314s to go with my Class 320s already on order. It will be interesting to narrow the 314 liveries down from the 5 main that they have carried over the years, namely; 1. Blue/Grey 2. Strathclyde Red 3. Carmine & Cream 4. Carmine & Cream with DDA doors 5. Saltire My personal preference would be 2, 3 or 4 and 5.....if I was to narrow it further, I would go down to one of the Carmine and Cream choices.....it’s going to be difficult!! See you tomorrow at TINGS as I am in the country for once! Later, Stu from EGDL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there would be the question of revised headlights in the Merseyrail era. One for the Revolution gents to ponder... Later, Stu from EGDL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenman Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I’m very happy for you N modellers - while being even more surprised a PEP-derived EMU hasn’t yet appeared in 00. Fingers crossed. Paul 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing JR_P Excellent news, seems like in N gauge we're going to have a good selection of EMUs. The OO gaugers are going to miss out. I'm fairly certain that if there's enough interest RevolutioN Trains will take up the project in OO. That being said can you please give a title a little more detail, RevolutioN Trains produce models in both N gauge and OO gauge. A better and more informative title to this thread would be nice.

Hitchin Junction Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Actually, those are after my time. But with all those straight and smooth surfaces, they would be a doddle to make as an etched kit. But then I'm a 4mm modeller. Tim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hello all, Thanks for the response. If anyone is coming to the N gauge show today we can try to answer any queries! cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jbqfc Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2019 great news i would have one in NSE one in southern and maybe blue and grey John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Totally would have a 00 313 in FCC/GN! Happy to wait for a couple of years and wish the N project success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 15, 2019 Be aware if modelling one of the Southern 313/2's, no two are the same!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marke Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 This really is good news. Assuming a 313 in blue / grey makes the livery cut I will be signing up for two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 John, How different are they? Are we talking changes to the fabric of the trains or livery embellishments? cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash39 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Stop releasing stuff I want! A carmine & cream and spotty ScotRail 6-car mixed set would be hard to resist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1023 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 No interest in the 313, but a 314 in original Strathclyde livery would probably be a purchase and if it could be adapted to a SR 4 car class 508 in blue/grey that would be an absolute purchase.

Livery mostly, at least three different lengths of dark green semi circle behind side cab door (one has different versions at each end!), white gutters vice Green on one side of one car on 202 (possibly also on 201 before its repaint), some have one or both corner grills on the middle coach plated over and some have different front cab handrails on the secondmans side where the second windscreen wiper used to be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I don't model MI. I don't model MI. I don't model MI. I don't model MI. Ah forget it. Put me down for an NSE version. These units were such a part of my formative years that I just have to get one. Edited September 17, 2019 by Karhedron 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2019 Not for a good few years yet (frequent breakdowns that it seems to be suffering this year permitting!) as the latest date for the retirement of the Coastway 313's is drifting past 2025 now... The farewell tour for the GN ones however is in a couple of weeks time though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JR_P Posted September 19, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 I like the Coastway 313s - they are in much better condition inside and out than the GN 313s - the latter are really shabby these days! That said, I’ve got some photos of exquisitely graffitied GN 313s !!! Not heard anyone calling for a 315 - no one ever seems interested in GEML or WAML stock.... I grew up traveling into Liverpool Street (and KX).... got a soft spot for all things East Anglian.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up traveling into Liverpool Street (and KX).... got a soft spot for all things East Anglian.... The 315s have a very limited sphere of operation for their entire working lives compared to the 313s which have spread to rather unlikely places. The same could be said of the the 314s to some extent, they do not require any extra tooling as they are basically 313s without the DC equipment. A 315 would require tooling up and addition vehicle in the shape of the TSO. Still, maybe RevolutioN will produce a 315 down the line, even if it is not part of the initial offering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
