Popular Post Grimleygrid Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 Cavalex Class 56 update - price release: Our Class 56 project has been progressing nicely in the tooling stage to a point where we are confident we can release the price of the loco without changing it further into the project - with the RRP being set at £189.95. The price of the DCC fitted and DCC sound versions are TBC at this stage. We’re very excited to receive the first shots out of the moulds and will provide a full update on the project once these have been received. There’s one final unannounced model in the Cavalex Class 56 range; which Class 56 would you like to see us produce? Thanks to all of our customers and followers for their overwhelmingly positive reaction to the project so far. 29 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 With Hornby pushing their prices for standard models over the £200 mark. I think CavAlex should be commended for doing their best to keep the price down. Very much looking forward to the release of these and hope they are a success. 1 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_crisp Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looks great to me and compared to recent releases from other manufacturers good value for money! Will 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB95 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Nearly 30 quid below Hornby's RRP, and expecting to be a considerably better model on the specs alone, never mind the excellent build quality that we'll no doubt get. Bravo Cavalex. Faith in the hobby restored for good value! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Cavalex, Just a line to say I've finally sorted the 'Stewart's Lane 2022 Traction Policy' and placed an order for one of these machines in 'Construction' sector livery. Looking forward to seeing more than one on the layout eventually though! All The Best, Kindest Regards, Shed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) 1. Dutch livery… (so some of us can add Transrail logos after market). as a preference, 56031 Merehead. Edited January 21, 2022 by adb968008 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 2. 56077 plain blue. Rainhill trials class 56… was used to drag the APT through, so it has a good modelling purpose too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Been a long time coming, but in todays marketplace well done on a very reasonable rrp. Producing accurate quality at this price is a lesson for the big boys. No names mentioned, Hornby take note 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37403 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Dutch please, and one which could be a Dutch T as noted above. Well done guys, the price is high but more than competitive and does make you question how other manufacturers can justify higher prices for toolings which are getting on a bit. I think these will sell well and look forward to seeing what is up next! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Regular Transrail on grey for me - a livery which has been largely missed on models but was common up here for a short while 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 Very impressed with the price of the DC as I was expecting it to be hitting nearer the £200 mark. Now the next big question, do you have a approximate time scale for the decorated samples for us to drool over? I’d love to throw a wildcard in for a unannounced Class 56, and that’s 56042 with it’s CP3 bogies, with liveries in BR blue and Railfreight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am sure you can appreciate, with 134 examples to choose from (56042 requires different bogies), it was a difficult task choosing which locomotives, cab style, era, and liveries, to release first. Maybe you could re-use them on another class in the future ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR traction instructor Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 A vote for a Romanian example in Loadhaul livery please. The combined Dutch/Transrail livery looked good on them too. BeRTIe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
