cornish trains jez Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) The N Brass catenary looks very good! May have to invest in some! It’s very nicely etched and looks like I’ll be able to make the modifications i need quite easily so each gantry becomes individual and fits its locations. Best regards, Jeremy Looking good. I miss making OHLE. I might have to do some more on a future layout!!Thanks mate! Go on, you know you want to....!

LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hi, I have just come across this and let me just say, you are doing a magnificent job here. It makes me want to go back to n gauge. Please keep this up as this is one of the greatest layouts I've ever seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Elaner Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi Mike, There’s a fair bit of OHLE to add but I think it’s going to be fun doing it......hopefully! Best regards, Jeremy I am sure it will take quite some time, but will be worthwhile. I doubt you would have attempted such a layout without having the experience to know that some stages seem to progress so slowly that they can be quite an ordeal, but become very rewarding when you can start to see some good results.

Hi Pete, I had that feeling with the electrics but I’m slowly progressing with it and I know that the reward will be to see some stock running which will be a great moment. I’m currently rebuilding and enlarging the fiddle yard so it will be capable of holding more stock, I think Euston needs it!

Pete the Elaner Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Doing the electrics is a soul-less task isn't it? I enjoy doing this part, but even so, spending several weeks doing nothing but wiring then flipping the boards back upright to see that they look no different at all is a bit demoralising, even if it works first time. If you have to start troubleshooting faults, it can be a little demoralising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cornish trains jez Posted April 21, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 Good evening, Received my three stunning Revolution Trains pendolino models yesterday. Here is one of them arriving at Euston station. Still need to get the wheelsets turned down to 2FS standards and then I'll be able to run them, by which time there will be enough wiring finished to be able to have a section of the station up and running. I'll try and get some more photos taken over the next few days. Best regards, Jeremy 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though that track plan for Euston has changed, you could still run modern stock as well and possibly and apt! Best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revolution pendolinos are really quite special. The trackplan is very different nowadays but it will not stop me having a present day/modern image (2018) moment. Although modern image for me has always been late 80's early 90's......proper modern image!! It would be great to have an APT but I'm unsure if the N gauge version will be produced as there doesn't seem to be any where near enough expressions of interest yet to justify the model being produced. Here's hoping..... Best regards, Jeremy Edited April 24, 2018 by cornish trains jez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Matthew Yes, that is the one I was referring to in my post. There is a thread about it on RMweb and I’ve put my name down for a couple although, like I said, regrettably there doesn’t seem to be enough expressions of interest for the N gauge version yet. The 00 gauge version is looking like it will go ahead though. Best regards, Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Jeremy Hi Jeremy, To my knowledge the Rapido 00 gauge ATP-E was released in 2016, there are a few vidoes APT-E on RMWEB and here is another one that I found on Youtube of the APT-E at Everard Junction ... dig the music, I'm sure Lady Penelope and Jeff Tracy are on the train Edited April 25, 2018 by Ian_H 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hi Jeremy, Yes, there is a scratch built APT-P running on Kings Park. The team were kind enough to run our pre-production Pendolino sample alongside it at the N Gauge International Show last September; here is a good photo: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/126055-things/?p=2851785 But... it is the gas turbine APT-E Revolution is offering up, as this is the model produced by Rapido (shown in the previous post) and would be a relatively straightforward project, provided there is adequate interest. At the moment I'd say we have around 2/3 of the sign-ups we need, which TBH is quicker than we expected but still not at the point we are ready to start taking money. The APT-P is a Durham Trains of Stanley/DJM project in 00 and N and nothing to do with Revolution. Cheers Ben A. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
