Given it’s still open why would there be any change? Revolution aren’t in the business of withholding information. Sure you’ll find out when there’s something to say… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding off the above post is that retailers are awaiting the details in order for them to advertise the wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffmeister-general Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) On 22/10/2023 at 20:18, Revolution Mike said: 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 Hi Mike, Can I ask are the lighter blue variants be the same ones used on occasion for the Ravenstruther - Longport workings by Colas? https://youtu.be/gF51o7SRW68?si=_uxTAncDCGKAWt8k Many thanks Colin Edited January 4 by puffmeister-general Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5 Hi Colin, It looks to me like those wagons are the Ultramarine VTG blue versions, which are among those being offered by Hornby mag, but I would have to check the individual numbers to be certain. cheers Ben A.

Hi Ben, Thanks for your help and information. After conducting more research I found another YouTube video of Ravenstruther which shows a wagon number. I think you are correct in your assessment that they are the lighter blue versions offered by Hornby.

VTG has JNA wagons in two different blues - a very dark navy and a medium royal blue. Photographs should be able to help you work out which wagons are on which traffic; the navy from Revolution and other retailers. The Royal blue versions are the ones being offered through Hornby Magazine. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 From memory @puffmeister-general @Craig1989 DCR sub hired some wagons to Colas for a short period, so (with the proviso that I'm not jn a position to physically check numbers at the moment) the blue wagons hauled by Colas aren't the same colour as the DCR wagons, they are the DCR wagons. Got a feeling this was before the grey Land Recovery wagons (to a different design) came along, hired in as an interim measure. It may even have been Land Recovery hiring them off DCR rather than Colas. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffmeister-general Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 After researching the royal blue variant, I decided to place an order and gutted that they are now all sold out. I note that Key World are only doing a run 125 of each model. I hope they decide to increase the run to match any demand. If so, I’ll only be too happy to make an order.

Cheers Mike Hi Mike, I did email them around a week ago using the contact form on the website but to date have received no reply hence my post in the hope someone from key model world would pick it up. However, I found a direct email for the shop and have emailed to that. On another note, can I thank you for the superb quality of your models and service. I recently received my TEA wagons and Aluminium PCA wagons and blown away by the quality. Many thanks Colin Edited January 26 by puffmeister-general 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only 'limited' to the number Hornby Magazine want us to make. Production hasn't started yet, so we can easily add more. cheers Ben A. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my preorder in for 4 of the unbranded royal blue ones but would order some more if additional running numbers were offered. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Key Publisher’s have long sold out on pre-sale if they don’t increase their order would it be feasible for you to do a run of them with different numbers? I’m guessing that apart from us who haven’t secured any you’ll also get orders from those that have as they can extend their rakes. I suppose the success of the Cavalex 56 has fuelled extra demand. just an idea, cheers, Rob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
