A simple peg on the bodies with a hole

on the bogie.

@Revolution Ben @Revolution Mike How are you planning on joining the segments of the Cartic-4 together? Hook and loop like the NGS kit or something else?

I thought that question sounded familiar 🙂

[Steven B]

Thanks @Revolution Mike

 

Does that mean the inner bogies are completely separate from the many wagon body? Hope you're got some spares on order if so (I'm having flash-backs to my old OO Gauge Hornby model being left unusable after one of my brother's friends "lost" the centre bogie)

You've clearly got a better memory than I do! 🙂

I have a vague memory of seeing a set in a train to the west of Exeter.

Maybe it was this train? Photo by Tom Derrington on Flickr:

A friend of mine (who does not do web forums!) decided that he wanted a rake or two of the late 1980s MAT cartics with mesh sides, after the order book for these closed.  However, he's been looking around the various Revolution retailers and found that while a couple do not mention Revolution at all on their website, even those that do ( for example, Rails @Kernow MRC @Derails Models @Mike at C&M ) dont seem to have the Cartics listed.  Before my mate starts emailing various shops asking the same question, does anyone know/can anyone say is the lack of listing because the models are all fully sold out at retailers or is it just that the retailers are not listing them until they arrive?  I thought it was probably best to ask on here first.

Rails aren't listing the OO Cartics either, even though the order book is still open for those for a couple of months longer.  Perhaps Revolution aren't releasing all of the models to the trade and selling some exclusively in-house?

Hi all,

 

There are  no limits on what retailers can order, but the wagons won't be here for a while yet.

 

cheers

Thanks for the heads up - it looks like (some/all) retailers didn’t get my email about the N gauge Cartic4s (and N gauge Caroline). 
 

We’re working with retailers (and the factory) to make sure that we can supply them.

Thanks I have just had a promotional email from Rails about deadline dates and the N Gauge Cartics were on it (I presume following Mike's intervention!) so I have forwarded to my friend and he's placed an order.

Mike,

Thanks for being proactive in following that up, really appreciated. As you'll note from the comment above, the email from Rails confirmed this Friday for the deadline of the Cartics, the N Gauge 66s and Observation Saloons, and the OO gauge EALNOS wagons.  Thanks for your help

Interesting.  Perhaps the N gauge version was a simple oversight, but they still not listing the OO versions.

The OO ones haven’t been offered to retailers yet as we are still offering pre-orders at a discounted price until we get the OO deco samples. However retailers will get them in due course.

[Mike at C&M]

C&M Models simply haven't had the time to add these to the online shop, as yet. We have ordered them, so if anyone wants to throw an order our way in the near future, an e-mail to sales@candmmodels.co.uk is the best way, at present
