Shoey Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm liking the email which was sent earlier Ben. Getting far too excited now. I know I've asked this before and apologies for asking again but is there any footage of the wagons running? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 For those who wish to spread their cash flow, C&M Models are also accepting orders for TEAs ahead of the order deadline. Payment will be due when the models are despatched, and not in advance, but the price is likely to be around 10% higher than that you would pay to Revolution Trains on their advance payment scheme. All options are available, and we will be ordering some for casual stock, over and above what we have orders for. But we found with the 'N' gauge TEAs that this casual stock was sold before the delivery arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2017 Nothing but bad gateway errors on the site when trying to order very frustrating! Hi folks We know how frustrating the Bad Gateway problem is - it is even more frustrating for us as we have been trying to get our web hosting company to sort it out for 3 months now. What makes it worse is that it affects some users much more than others. I'm reluctantly coming to the conclusion that our existing web hosts don't know how to fix the problem (plus the site speed is poor), so ultimately I suspect it means moving the website to a new host (and possibly re-building bits of it (which we want to do anyway - the site was put together by me in quite a rush 2 years ago and has seen far more use than we ever anticipated). The problem is finding time to do it. Cheers, Mike PS I've replied to your PM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hi All, Having seen the quality of the 2mm wagons it was really good to be shown the 4mm sample at Glasgow. Ben, Mike and Rapido have done a superb job with high levels of detail, and superb fine etched walkways. I'm really looking forward to my dozen and of course with Hornbys forthcoming Colas 60 those Dalston workings will be a reality. I hope as many 4mm Modellers as possible get some abe don't miss out. All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc2016 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi, Do you know when i be able to pay the remaining balance on the wagons that i have put a deposit on? Thanks, Samuel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted March 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Guys, couple of questions from me as the deadline draws near. 1) Freightliner livery. The website says the Freightliner Heavy Haul livery is subject to approval. Do we know if this livery is going ahead yet? 2) Website also suggests you're looking into providing VTG decals to replace the Freightliner logo, as per the prototype. Any update on this? Getting really excited now that these models are very soon to go into production. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Freightliner livery is going ahead, though it depends on final numbers whether it is worth producing appropriate decals to convert to the VTG version, hopefully it will be.

RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted March 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks as ever Ben for the prompt response. I've one more question but will send a PM as it's not apprpriate for the general forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Horse Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Bad gateway for me tonight too. I've used my CC and don't have access to it online and my next statement is after the deadline........any ideas what to do please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2017 As I've said on here and on our website - please check your orders on our website (login to your account). If your order went through OK then it will show in your orders. If that doesn't work then please drop me an email at info@revolution etc. Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesthecat Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I had a load of bad gateway errors but eventually put my order through later on in the day when it worked fine. Don't know if that will help anyone but it worked for me! Don't think I used a different browser either. Another question if the freightliner version did not go ahead what would happen to my order?

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2017 The FL livery will go ahead - there is a general point for all liveries that they will only go ahead if we receive sufficient orders (which we expect to). We have to be fair to people and warn them about that possibility. It is explained in the FAQs that if a model does not go ahead then people will receive a full refund (though we would obviously offer alternative livery choices first). Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I have logged into my account on your website and all looks OK.

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted April 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2017 Having pre-ordered a Dapol DRS 68 and been over-excited at it turning up I'd rather the decoration was checked first. The industry doesn't need another high profile cock-up this year and in my view Revolution are providing very high spec models on a pre-order basis and I am in no rush, I'd rather have something as good as the N gauge version than something rushed. I've waited this long so it just needs to be right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hello all, The order book for these models is now closed, thanks to everyone who's ordered one or more - and some have ordered a lot more! I can understand that people might be a little anxious about the painted samples question but please remember this is not a new model in a completely different livery. It is a larger version of a model the factory has already painted and lettered to an award-winning standard. The designers, project managers and staff are skilled professionals who are proud of their reputation and craftsmanship and who have been delighted to win 00 and N models of the year. They know their reputation goes with every model. They have the N gauge models there, they know where the logos should go, what the colours should be and what the lettering is. They will send us photographs as the first models come off the production line and we can veto any glaring errors then. And of course when the models arrive if they are not to specification they will be replaced. Cheers Ben A. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've waited this long so it just needs to be right. I did make very similar comments when it was announced in a PM to Ben, and to be fair he gave me a pretty much similar response. Ultimately its Ben, Mike and Jason's call on this one. I cannot see Rapido and Revolution wanting to issue a substandard model, but like yourselves were concerned about the possibilities of problems occurring. I also made queries on whether instead of just doubling things up for 'OO', any greater detail could be added, and secondly the possibility of errors in translation. Regards, C.
