Cheers Ben A. Thanks Ben, That's fine. I am looking at ordering 8 packs so that time scale will give me time to save up. Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ben A. That is good news, as I want to place an order for all the Cawoods packs, but finances have had to go elsewhere. Would you ever consider a different payment plan option, monthly, 1/8s 1/4s etc? I'd definately be able to sign up sooner if that was the case (or maybe I could actually save up in anticipation!!)

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi Stuey, The problem with payment plans is that they take up a disproportionate amount of admin time. We do understand that staged payments can be helpful, and what we are offering at the moment is designed to balance the needs of the customer with the time we have available! Just a thought - what about just ordering one or two packs at a time? cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaks Ben, completely understand this issue, I could solve it myself by actually saving, though there's always something else that catches my eye! Good idea about ordering a pack at a time, hadn't thought of that. But would I not be charged postage on each order? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yes, you will be charged P&P on each order but as per our FAQs we will refund any difference if we are able to combine orders once we send them out.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2023 The PFAs and gypsum container packs are now in stock. Shipments (and any balance invoices due) will start over the next few days but the bulk will go out next week after TINGS. If you would like to collect your order(s) from us TINGS please let us know before 9pm on Thursday (7/9) by filling in the short form on our website: https://revolutiontrains.com/pfa-gypsum-container-pack-order-collections-tings-2023/ (you'll get your postage refunded and also be able to pay any balance due). Cheers Mike 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kaput Posted September 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2023 Will it be possible to buy any at TINGS if you haven't already ordered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2023 I’m not 100% sure which of our retailers are going to TINGS - I think Rainbow and Kernow (both of whom we will try to get their stock if we can for the start of the show). It is always a balance to try and get orders out to direct customers vs also supplying retailers. Cheers Mike 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted September 16, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2023 Here too! Thirteen wagons of gypsum containers to weather - the containers look great! Cheers Simon 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stuart A Posted September 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Unboxed and they are lovely little models. Quite a large coupling gap which shorter shank couplings will hopefully improve. One of the coupling boxes fell off when unboxing, so take care when removing from packaging. I'll use that particular one as the end wagon in the rake. Just wondering if it's worth me finishing off the 10 C-Rail kits I started many moons ago.

bluedepot Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 very nice work on these wagons revolution. i have 18 ready for testing tomorrow evening when i have some time after work. had a few out the box to look at. tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie7 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Having built dozens of the kits, it's safe to say these are a work of art 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gedlee Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I Agree, These wagons are exquisite! The detail and quality of the printing is superb. Colour rendition is excellent and they run beautifully. There is a plethora of fine detail and the very small mounting pins hold the containers securely. Top marks in every way. I have used short couplings instead of those provided and it has considerably improved the look of the rakes. Ged. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted September 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2023 Stop it! Despite being able to justify a rake of 30 of these, I passed on these and chose to extend my rake of C=Rail kits instead. You're making me regret my decision....

gedlee Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The short couplings are Graham Farish and they really improve the rakes. They work well on gentle and tighter curves. To ensure they stay coupled I paint them with some matt acrylic paint to remove the shine. They are sold in bags of 20. cheers, Ged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
