Jack079 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi, does anyone know what the lights will be like on the Caledonian Sleeper version, will it only have one headlight in day/night mode and no marker lights as these are also the tail lights or do these light up too?

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted June 3, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hello Jack, The model has been designed so that on the CS version the "second" light can either show red, in tail light mode, or white, in marker light mode. cheers Ben A.

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted June 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) How long do you expect production to take? Steven B. Edited June 4, 2019 by Steven B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper!

I don't know how long production will take though. The Pendolinos took around 6 months IIRC, but then with 1200 trains that's 12000 cars. There are significantly fewer 92s to make, and the matrix is a good deal simpler too, as there aren't lots of cars to be married up to specific sets etc, and the packaging is simpler too. I am hoping the models will be here sometime in Autumn, but this is just an estimate! As ever, we will post any production pics Rapido sent us online, either here with permission, on Facebook or on our website. cheers Ben A. 15 minutes ago, Steven B said: How long do you expect production to take?

lucazone Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Sorry to bump, but I am just excited and looking forward to the 92s I am so impressed with the Pendolinos. I was never able to reach the heights of a CJM example, despite owning a vast Le Shuttle collection from him. Despite living in Kent, and the frequency of 92s passing through Dollands Moor, they continue to successfully evade my photographic capture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted July 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2019 No Kent class 92s? What about the ones running to and from Dollands Moor near Folkstone? https://www.flickr.com/photos/locohunter/27594334159 https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_davis_photos/9278591132/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/locohunter/8330231600/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jason87030/15739772984/ Steven.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Which is exactly what Lucazone says! It's a fair comment though, other than a handful of trains up HS1 the DBC ones aren't doing all that much, IIRC they no longer have the relevant permissions to use them off HS1, so they're not trundling up the classic lines anymore.

RMweb Gold Kaput Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 All gone a bit quiet on the 92 front, don't suppose theres been any update on production progress at TINGS? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Any samples of the Class 92 on display at TINGS? It's been 3 months since the order book closed and production was supposed to commence. Though hard to tell if production actually commenced soon after? Edited September 16, 2019 by MGR Hooper!

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hello all, The 92s are in production. I don't know how long this number of locomotives *should* take to produce since we haven't done a loco before - only a large scale EMU and wagons. I know Rapido have operatives in China at the moment and I am waiting for an update on the 92s - if there is anything germane to report we will. cheers Ben A. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted October 1, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Andrew, No - they're in production but no significant news. If we get any major updates you'll hear about it. cheers Ben A. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 As per the latest newsletter, RevolutioN Trains have received production samples of the Class 92. I wonder if we'll get a look at them before Christmas? I've been good this year...promise! Anyway...Merry Christmas to Ben and Mike. Looking forward to catching a glimpse of the Class 92s soon and I cannot wait to get the two I have or order. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 From their latest newsletter... These are apparently "decoration samples". Not sure if that's the same as a "production sample". But they look lovely. 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan1 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Right I've been through the entire thread and can't see any reference to this so here goes. Does this take 6 pin or Next 18 ? (Apologies if it is out there and I've missed it) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpendle Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I am led to believe that its Next18, but as I've ordered sound fitted ones, it's a moot point for me. E.g, I have 4 Sound equipped Pendolinos and I've not had the body off any of them to poke the decoder. Regards, John P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realised that these pictures are NOT in the latest newsletter, at least not in the one I received December 12th. BUT they are the latest "News" entry on the Revolution Website. Mystery solved.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted December 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2019 The spec on the website says Next 18. The Pendolinos are 6-pin FWIW, with ESU Loksound v4 decoders. I don’t know what’s being fitted to the 92, although there are Next 18 variants of both the Loksound v4 and v5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
