jpendle Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It's a 397 to go with the specially commissioned TPE 802 from Kato. I think I'll go and have a lie down now. John P 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Total wishlisting speculation...but I think the following would both be winners: Swindon Class 120 across Country DMU Class 303 “Blue Train” (refurbished or unrefurbished - or both!)

Eeek, Paul Not quite - because scale weight isn't linear, you have to divide by the scale cubed. It actually comes out around 38 grams! Bit of an anticlimax I'm afraid... 686kg would give you a 47 which ran on N gauge track but was the height and length of the original! Might cause some stability issues and you'd have to use Kato track, I don't think Peco would handle it... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 If Mike's got his pencil and paper ready, I reckon one of these would make a good model. It's a Plasser TRM (Track Relaying Machine) - not a crane! More widespread than the single jib jobbie that Hattons tried to do in 4mm, been around since the late 1970s and available in many colours, including yellow, Jarvis maroon, more yellow, Balfour Beatty blue and white, a different yellow... Often roam in pairs, and the perfect partner to the Salmon kit from the NGS, Falcons from Dapol and many other engineering types, including, I think, the Sturgeon that Revolution produced previously. The one in the picture was part of a train of three, along with many Falcon hauled by a Colas 70. The Salmon for loading with track panels were on another train.

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted November 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) The Plasser TRM would be an excellent choice. For some reason this wagon crossed my mind too when I saw the news that Revolution were going to announce a new N gauge project next week. Looking forward to Tuesday’s news, whatever it is.

Ilambie Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Given the MK5 coaches are coming in the TPE livery, how big a jump would it be to see the other two TPE liveried Nova multiple units? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47475 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'll throw in a guess. Class 305 EMU, with a nice number of livery options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted November 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2020 Love the application of logic from @Suffolk Rob! The other two TPE Nova classes are quite different from the Mk5s - the 397s are CAF built but the other Nova sets are Hitachi 802s (Nova 1s). Kato will have the majority of the tooling for the 802s from early next year so would be the best bet to ask if they will do the 802s.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted December 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2020 I’d love an MPV, but with Bachmann having the OO gauge tooling I can’t see it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb4141 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The silhouette on the email I received last night looks remarkably like a class 185 DMU, which would make sense to produce as a companion to the Transpennine Mk5 coach sets and (possibly,) a Kato Transpennine liveried IET set? Maybe just a coincidence, but with 3 liveries and a fourth potentially in the offing when the 15 surplus sets are transferred and also the potential to produce in 00 gauge, it makes a lot of sense! Here’s hoping anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted December 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hello all, The image is purely illustrative, and was intended to look *nothing* like anything specific at all! So far I haven't seen anyone guess correctly, though there are some great suggestions in this thread. cheers Ben A. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted December 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'd love to see a member of the 'Electrostar' family appear in N (ideally a 377!). Wishful thinking maybe...but they have/had quite a wide sphere of operation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyRule1 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Could be rather embarrassing if the new item turns out to be the same as Rapido announce in a few minutes. Assuming that Rapido are entering the UK n gauge market. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So safe to say, that wasn't in the running for Revolution. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Electrostars, hopefully, but my moneys on a 90 or a 325. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb4141 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The other obvious omission in N gauge is the class 87, which has a multitude of liveries and has been popular for Hornby in 00 gauge. The class 90, I would assume Farish will do at some point, seeing how well it has done in 00 gauge for Bachmann, but the 87 seems strange that it hasn’t been done already, particularly when the class 92 has been done and talk potentially a class 89 before it? Maybe it’s just me! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
