RMweb Gold Popular Post Revolution Mike B Posted March 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) It may seem a little strange for someone who works in the industry to pass comment on a rival manufacturer’s thread but credit where credit’s due. I ran one of the EP samples on Oak Road at DEMU last year for the entire weekend, and while it’s no secret that I’m personally not a fan of the real 56’s, it was almost impossible not to like the model. Things have moved on a little since then with the introduction of the decorated samples and there’s a lot of thought and effort here to give the end user something worth owning.

In this photo below, 049 looks more like 303? Were there differences between the various builds? Edited March 28, 2023 by brushman47544 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RBE Posted March 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) The grilles on our painted sample model are not the final etch. Those ones were mistakenly changed by the factory against our request. The revised ones have the join between them and finer frames.

Erixtar1992 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 So the guys were kind enough to trust me with their Colas sample after Ally Pally, to which i must thank them massively! Did a little vid on it which hopefully you all enjoy, i must confess i dont know an awful lot about a 56, but my own personal opinion has been extremely positive as i think the video shows. I was impressed at how well the loco has stood up to being poked and prodded all this time before it got into my hands concidering the fine detail, not to mention the easy access to the interior and full depth cab also being nice features. looking forward to getting one permanently when they arrive. cheers lads. 17 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is the prototype test packaging for what you will get. We are also going to add small semicircular cutouts in the foam to the outside of the frame so that it's easier to get your fingers in to left the frame out. It can be fiddly on the one on the video. Other than that it's pretty much exactly what you will get. 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajax50046 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Quick one for Cavalex - Would you ever consider doing future runs of weathered 56's? Unlike other manufacturers, I have found your weathered TEA's to be spot on, really capturing the feel of a well-worked asset. I'd love a tatty Transrail-Dutch one!

I will let Cavalex comment on this but for what it is worth, after speaking to the guys at the last few exhibitions - they seem open to producing an ex fast line example in beaten & up de-branded condition so I imagine the answer maybe a yes for certain examples which were notoriously in poor condition? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
