Apologies Ben - point taken about the Land Recovery boxes. But you did spring a surprise on everyone by producing the yellow Wascosa Network Rail boxes out of nowhere! Such revelations keep us entertained, interested and enthusiastic about the brand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Gary Glad I’ve seen this tonight Gary, thanks! Not attending the GETS show this year, but haven’t seen anything online or social media today about the latest 00 wagons now being available to pre-order, or about the HM ones, until I read this! Have checked the HM and Revolution Trains websites tonight. Preorders now in 👍 Edited October 14, 2023 by norfolkchinaclay Missing text 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoey Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I’ve not heard anything about which ones are being produced next in OO or when the order book is opening. Glad I’ve had a look through here though as I’ve just placed an order for a mixed rake of the VTG/Cappagh blue via HM and the silver Mendip Rail ones via Kernow Models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - we’ve put all the versions being offered on our website except for the Kernow and Hornby Magazine exclusives. As per our website we’re offering the new GBRf wagons as shown (the sample we had at GETS this weekend was of this newly tooled version with different brake gear and reinforced ends).

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted October 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Some of the comments are really better directed towards Hornby magazine but I think it is worth mentioning that as far as we’re concerned that the production run doesn’t have to be limited to 125 of each. We can increase quantities up to the point that production starts (we will announce a production schedule soon). So if lots of customers want this livery and are worried about it selling out then the best thing is to get on to Hornby Magazine ASAP to place pre-orders (so that they can see if demand is sufficient to increase the quantities). Ultimately that is a decision for Hornby magazine/Key Publishing. cheers Mike Edited October 16, 2023 by Revolution Mike 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig1989 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Ordered my 10 cappagh liveried ones today now waiting for retailers to get their ones in as after the gbrf, wascosa and touax ones cheers Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEARJAMMER Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Im starting to get confused as to what is what now, im really only interested in the ones operated out of the Mendips by Freightliner (and previously DB). I have a very nice rake of the previous Mendip Rail silver ones that were exclusive to Kernow and i shall certainly buy some of their new Mendip Silver ones. I will also certainly by a number (probably a large number) of the Touax liveried wagons. However there are now a large number of blue ones with VTG branding appearing in the mendips, however there are also a large number of blue one appearing with DC Rail and GBRf elsewhere in the country. Is the the Blue VTG wagon that is listed by Revolution in this latest batch one from the Mendip pool or from elsewhere. The same question applies to the plain silver one in the latest batch?

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted October 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2023 Both the plain blue and plain silver JNAs are part of VTG’s hire pool (which includes use on Mendip traffic - both these versions of JNA now seem to feature quite regularly on Mendip traffic). Whether there is a specific pool for Mendip traffic anymore I’m not sure - I know that Mendip prefer twin piped wagons. That would probably need access to TOPS plus a specific time period if you want to check specific wagon numbers. The blue wagons used by DC Rail/Cappagh are a lighter blue (and are being offered as exclusives by Hornby magazine). As an aside they’ve been used/hired in by Colas for work on the Cumbrian Coast recently (for work at Drigg). Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mike This may assist @GEARJAMMER The only silver ones in Mendip traffic at present are the initial MRL branded ones. The silver VTG ones in the area are single pipe and in use by DB, mixed in with single pipe VTG blue and Ermewa grey wagons. The initial MRL silver, and all wagons in use with DB, are in the 5500 number series. The new blue ones in use on Mendip traffic are in the 5932 number series, and other than being twin piped are very visually similar to the navy blue 5500 series wagons. Some minor livery variations, but very similar. Some Flickr links: A 5500 wagon, as in use with DB (I think GB have some too but not something I've seen first hand) A 5932 wagon, as in use with Freightliner. Note the VTG logo position.
