RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted February 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2023 As an aside, I posted above, you can get the original FNA's running with FNA'D's. If anyone is trying to get one for a reasonable price the Class 37 Group have a number on their Ebay pages (as it is for charity hopefully no prob posting here) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165588973727 Ideal time to stock up whilst we wait for the D's. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MRDBLUE17 Posted February 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2023 Hello everyone, Thanks to my friends at Revolution they kindly let me borrow a painted sample of the new FNA-D nuclear flask wagon. Here it is on Morecambe with a working from Heysham to Sellafield top and tailed by a pair 66’s. The tooling is very fine all round with exquisite printed detail. I know how much work has gone into this wagon with the support of DRS to get it so accurate and at £32.95 is exceptionally good value. It’s a shame I’ve got to hand it back in the morning but will look forward to getting mine in due course. All the best Mark 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAILRAGE Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 These things really look the part. Are the sliding hoods able to open on these? Lovely job. Cheers Trailrage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB95 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 The project progress list shown at the DEMU show suggests these wagons are in shipping status! How very exciting! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Trailrage The sliding hoods are fixed in a closed position at the request of DRS and this was a condition of allowing us to reproduce the wagon in model form.

JackB95 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 They've now docked at Southampton Docks, and should be with the Revolution lads by end of next week. Exciting news! Most people are excited over their Carolines, but I'm sat here waiting for my flask 🤪 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted July 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2023 With the FNA-Ds currently making their way off of the ship and through customs, we just thought we'd remind everyone that they can still be ordered directly from us via our website shop, at the superb value for money price of just £32.95 each! Available as single packs, you can order them here: https://revolutiontrains.com/product-category/pre-order/oogauge/fna-d-nuclear-flask-carrier-oo-4mm/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-East Rail Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Mine arrived yesterday: A very smart looking wagon. Noticeably lighter than Accurascale's offering but the detail is top notch. I haven't compared then side by side yet. Ed 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 9, 2023 With a bit of luck (and thanks to others of the Deadmans Lane team) we'll be recreating this at Wakefield exhibition on Sep30/Oct1.

I went with the Revolution one for two reasons. 1. I preferred the look of the EP in terms of the etchings and details. 2. The biggest reason, it could be bought individually. I only want one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markn Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I've ordered two of these. They look great. I've also got a pack of the accurascale version, and as good as they are in detail, they are overly heavy, not very free rolling and the tail lamp is slightly annoying as it wouldn't even be present on many moves.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted August 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2023 By offering the FNA-D as a single wagon pack, it provides a win win situation. Firstly, you get a highly detailed wagon for just £32.95, and secondly, you can run the older style FNA-D with our newer version, allowing you to model the change over period if you so wish. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
