Andy Y Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Mmmmmm… MMA from Revolution in 4mm! Revolution Trains is offering the widely used MMA/JNA-T box wagons as its next model aimed at 4mm scale modellers. More than 500 of these large bogie box wagons are now in service from Cumbria to the south coast, and from East Anglia to South Wales on stone, sand, spoil or other aggregate traffic. They can be seen in the liveries of railfreight companies DB Cargo and GBRf, as well as VTG, Mendip Rail and Ermewa/Tarmac. This model follows delivery of the Revolution Trains 4mm TEA tankers and will feature our customary levels of detailing. The prototype wagons have either 9 or 11 vertical strengthening ribs with or without bodyside doors. Revolution is offering all four configurations. The models feature exceptionally high levels of underframe detailing and depict accurate variations in buffers, brake gear and end panels. The bogies have been designed to be the correct width and facilitate straightforward conversion to EM or P4 standards. Versions are also being offered with factory-fitted battery-powered flashing tail lamps. The model has already been tooled and samples were on display on the Revolution Trains stand at Warley National Model Railway exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. Revolution is offering the models in DB Cargo red and Ermewa grey (with and without Tarmac branding), while those in VTG/Mendip Rail silver and GBRf dark blue will be available exclusively from Kernow Model Rail Centre. Revolution Trains would like to thank DB Cargo and Tarmac for facilitating access to the Barrow Railhead to measure and photograph the wagons. To encourage early orders Revolution is offering an early-bird price that will increase after six weeks. The models will be produced in these formats and liveries: MMA DB Red 9 pillar with side door JNA-T Ermewa Grey 9 pillar, no side door JNA-T Ermewa Grey + Tarmac branding 9 pillar, no side door JNA-T VTG silver with Mendip branding 11 pillar, no side door* JNA-T GBRf blue 11 pillar with side door* *Exclusive to Kernow Model Rail Centre. Images attached are of the EP1 sample and some adjustments will be made before production commences – eg ensuring there are no mould sink marks in the buffer heads.

cal.n Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Mmmm, they do look good. Painted samples on their site http://www.revolutiontrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Ealnos_painted_samples.jpg Early price is £37.50 per wagon I believe one of the flows into Dove Holes quarry at Peak Forest can be 20+ MMAs.

159220 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Woah look at that underfloor detail! I thought this weeks delivery of RevolutioN's TEAs were tasty, these are a perfect compliment. I shall have to get some of these! I see Kernow have 'exclusives' on MRL and GBRf liveries, plus some more images here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/139576-kernow-team-up-with-revolution-for-mendip-and-gbrf-jna-t-wagons-in-oo/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2018 Looks like I picked the wrong time to give up railway modelling Here's a link to my thread on MMAs working to Eccles Road when new http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/111408-mma-wagons 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Inspired choice, especially with the forthcoming new 59 and 66. Here they are at warley on the revolution desk 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Good choice I have been saying to my friends about someone producing these as a rtr model... well done Revolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoey Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Absolutely over the button moon Revolution are producing these. Saw them at Warley today and have to say the wagon is superb and detail is out of this world. Nice little touch that the rear wagon that comes with flashing tail lamp has a “false floor” that covers the pcb! I’ll certainly be ordering a lengthy rake of these to compliment the forth coming 59’s and 66’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2018 Picked up my TEA's from Mike & the team at Warley today and took a close look at the new MMA/JNA. They are stunning. A large order will be going in for the DB liveried ones. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2018 Does anyone know if these grey Ermewa JNAs are the same as the ones that stable in Tonbridge Yard? From the photo I looked at the answer is yes - obviously check when liveried samples of the model (in that form) are available to be sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 It won’t be cheap to assemble a rake . Kernow ones are £13 more than standard thus £50 a wagon . I’ll only need four in my hidden yard concept so that £200 . I think they’ll be worth it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted November 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2018 Duly ordered my DB rake, will go well with the Hattons 66 when it arrives. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Would have really liked the Kernow variants but can't justify £50 a wagon thus will consider an 8 rake of one these variants but not sure which one yet? Edit: Will have to be the DB red's. Edited November 25, 2018 by classy52 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted November 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2018 Versions are also being offered with factory-fitted battery-powered flashing tail lamps. I'm about to order a rake of DB Liveried MMA's having seen the stunning sample at Warley yesterday. On the website there are 4 DB versions listed (A, B, C & D) offering 4 different running numbers. All are priced at £37.50 reduced from £41. From this I am guessing that none of these feature a flashing tail lamp? I've looked at the other liveries Revolution are doing and again, it seems that they are all just listed as £37.50 With the Kernow exclusive liveries, they have a £49.95 standard and £57.95 for the tail lamp version along with a bulk price for the 4. Was there anymore info at Warley or can Ben / Mike comment?. There was too much gong on yesterday for me to fully take it all in. I'll probably order 4 of each wagon A-D to give me a decent rake of 16, but obviously, I only want 1 to be fitted with a tail lamp not 4, if indeed one of these variants is the tail lamp version.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2018 Here's the prototype for the DBC MMA. A couple of minor livery items missing, the wheel profile and measurement at the right (nearest the camera) along with the yellow lines at the ends, with the tilt indicator and the builders plate (next to the bottom of the first pillar in the first photo). I'm not modelling anymore so posting these purely for interest and reference. June 2018 April 2018 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
