RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2022 The box is lovely. I haven't got any further yet, so that's the extent of my commentary, but a great first impression! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PaulCheffus Posted February 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi I’ve had mine running, very quiet and smooth straight out of the box. Lovely unit just need to find out how to dim the saloon lights (DCC) rather than turning off and how to uncouple the cars once coupled up.

RMweb Gold TomE Posted February 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Well, isn't this a little beauty! Quick first impressions are that it's excellent, and a quick run up and down suggests lovely smooth running qualities with some very nice lighting. Super stuff! There's a closer look here. Tom.

Jack079 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Mine arrived this morning, Nice little model especially like the interior lighting, though it doesn't seem too happy on my Peco 2nd radius track, has a tendency to derail on it, not sure if it’s only R3 and above, otherwise quiet and smooth. Another great model from revolution, can’t wait for the 314. Edited February 14, 2022 by Jack079 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you've given it a good running in to loosen up the couplers/wires/pivots etc then it may be worth checking if anything is impeding lateral movement of the couplers, or stopping the bogies from rotating freely. cheers Ben A.

Padishar Creel Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Mine now in customs in Niederaula Germany, being assessed. I've experienced packages between 2 days and 10days at this point depending on seller. Revolution items are usually processed very quickly, so you have your paperwork in good order! es grüßt pc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For chrissake, can we not get our N gauge ones first? I've not seen any pics of the NSE ones, and I've not been asked for the balance of payment for my order, so does that mean they've not yet arrived (appreciating it's MRS this weekend)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted February 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 27, 2022 My Model rail Scotland 320 arrived by private courier today and is excellent, the manual makes a good read and I look forward to testing. The manual does helpfully suggest checking bogie swing and cable tightness - but of course who reads the manual... A bit soon I guess but hopefully the lovely BSI on NEM mount will be a bagged spares sales . I look forward to buying a 4 car set to power the 3D print 325 so might have some bodies later on ... or a dummy 456? Brilliant choice and chassis opens up lots of other prototypes - 150001 or perhaps a dalliance with Irish 450... to join in the IRM cross the seas developments. Thanks to the design team and the Chinese workforce who have taken a kit and made us an rtr model. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu from EGDL Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Hi Gang, Just been running my Carmine & Cream 320 picked up at Glasgow. Ran sweetly from the box in one direction, but running in the other, it was almost as if it was running on 4 out of 5 poles on the commutator. Very noticeable when slow, but better at speed, so I decided to let it run for a while at about half. A drop of oil on the gears and some more running seems to have bedded it in to a much better degree. It has been running both ways for a couple of hours each now and seems to have settled down nicely. Now it is having a rest whilst I enjoy my Sunday roast and will give it another test later to see if it has reverted back to stuttery or if the running in has been worth it. Later, Stu from EGVN.

RMweb Gold Kaput Posted February 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2022 Technically your contract is with the retailer so especially with a brand new product they are pretty much legally required to assist. However, for simplicity some manufacturers do prefer you deal directly with them to resolve issues. Doesn't the manual have a support section advising of who to contact? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hi to the 2 guys above, Thanks gents, and your differing posts confirm the clarification I need whether to deal with Revolution support or MRS. I'm hoping someone will be along with definate gen shortly. Later, Stu from EGVN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I would try contacting RevolutioN. If they want you to go via your retailer, they will probably tell you so at that point. If you get in touch with the retailer, they will probably just send it back to RevolutioN anyway. This way offers the potential to cut out the middle-man.

Sorry for your issues Stu As I believe this was a special edition sold at Model Rail Scotland by AMRSS they may not have the ability to help you (unless they retained some for failures) . I think you probably need a dual approach , contact AMRSS ,who legally your contract would be with . Presumably contact details will be in program if you were at Model Rail Scotland . But I would also private message Revolution Ben on here in case he can help as Ben Ando is Director of Revolution . I'm sure he will be helpful , if only to give you the correct person to talk to in AMRSS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
