Which carrier are you using ? As per the note at the bottom of the email you received - if you paid a balance then that dispatch email is automatically generated (we can’t change that unfortunately unless we remove the deposit system) when you pay a balance but the order is sent when the other “half” of the order ie the balance is marked as despatched.

Cheers Mike Hi Mike, I have dropped an email in, looks like I'm getting broken links for two of my invoices, one went through no bother funnily enough. I've no doubt there's a straightforward fix Regards Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted January 23 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23 Hi Mark (and anyone else affected) If you're having problems with links or even lack of emails about balance invoices they should all be available in your account on our website.

Matt Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Mine arrived and straight onto layout. Switched my couplings to Kadee and height pretty much perfect making life easy there. I did place one alongside the (to my eye) cosmetically similar Bachmann metal air PCA and whilst the former is a nice wagon, the new model shows just how far things have progressed in last few years with just more general finesse around most areas. V nice indeed. I have a small stash of GBRF 66s that didn’t have much to pull on my Scottish layout but now they can replicate the FW alumina trains. #gbrf66saysthankyourevolution 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammstein2609 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Hi All, I'm surprised there hasn't been more action on this thread stating just how good the new Alcan PCA's are. They've been the missing wagon type for my West Highland Line layout plans so after pestering Mike and Ben for a few years on these, I put my money where my mouth is and bought 3 rakes of them for different running time periods: De-branded Alcan (early 2000's) Rio Tinto (2012-2014) Liberty (Current day). It seems a shame to have to weather these but it must be done. I'm hoping to have the Rio Tinto set weathered and ready to run on Tulloch Bridge at Model Rail Scotland at the end of the month. Thanks, Martin 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6 Hi Martin, Glad you like them! Can’t wait to see them running on Tulloch Bridge – one of the best layouts on the circuit right now IMO! Cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rammstein2609 Posted February 22 Popular Post Share Posted February 22 (edited) Hi All, I thought it was worth showing some photos of a small rake of weathered Alcan tanks as I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out. Taken today on Tulloch Bridge during setup for Model Rail Scotland 2024 at the Glasgow SEC: These wagons really are fantastic and fill a huge gap (for me and WHL modelling). Thanks RevolutioN!

The first photo in particular I thought was a picture of the real thing - for which I am also complimenting your impressively realistic layout.

Thanks for that, I'd missed that bit of information completely even though I am supposedly signed up for and certainly have had newsletters in the past. Expression of interest form now submitted and newsletter sign up redone just to be on the safeside ! Does anybody want to buy 6 Farish Metalair wagons and about 20 Peco 15' chassis ?? LoL Much appreciated, Ian. (Hmmm ... unless PBA Covhops ran on 15' chassis ??) Edited March 4 by 03060 Another thought ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirey33 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 OO Gauge Original Condition - Are these all sold out now? I can see a few places have the Faded versions, but I'm not seeing the original ones?? The Revolution website doesn't even have the PCAs in the shop?? Did I miss out :-o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 13 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13 We don’t sell models that our retailers have when the models have arrived. I’m not sure if any of our retailers still have stock (I suspect the Alcan branded versions will go most quickly as they were the most popular versions) - it might be worth trying some of our retailers without e-commerce websites or that might not have listed them yet. I’d try Trains4U, Craft Hobbies in Barrow, TTC or Coastal DCC (in no particular order!). cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss out :-o I also missed the deadline for ordering these wagons direct. I thought I still had plenty time and was caught by surprise at the Glasgow show when I found that they were already released. Rails of Sheffield still have five different packs remaining in stock on their website covering Rio Tinto, debranded Alcan, Lochaber-Liberty and Alvance. If you still want them, I suggest you might move quickly though, Rails still had a choice of seven different packs listed last weekend when I placed my order, down to five already. I have just been notified that mine are due for delivery tomorrow. Edited to add:- Of the original condition with ladders wagons, it looks like the only pack still available from Rails is the de-branded version.

Possibly because the announcements of the proposed product and deadline for pre-order were quite low key, easily missed unless you were a regular visitor to this thread and many of us still didn't have any when you posted. I only found out at the Glasgow show that these wagons were already available retail and I am sure I have been far from alone in scrambling around trying to obtain these much sought after wagons. I only have a small fiddle yard to branch terminus layout so my scenario is that the Lynemouth-Fort William train has been diverted via a triangular junction and needs to run round at the end of my branch. The train had to be split as the loop is only long enough for the GBRf 66 to run round 7 PCA wagons. My 4-pack arrived this morning and I am absolutely delighted with the crisp detail and superb running qualities. I may look out for another three single wagons either on the second hand market or if these are offered as singles in a future production run (hint).

RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted April 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1 I have been craving a second pack of these superb wagons ever since the first four arrived. Today I received 5% discount offer from Rainbow Railways. I checked to confirm the discount code would work for Revolution PCAs, but it was only valid till midnight tonight so I needed to decide quick. I pulled the trigger on a Rio Tinto Alcan pack, which can run mixed with the Lochaber Liberty wagons which I already have. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted April 3 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3 (edited) The new wagons arrived today and I ran the full rake of 8, using a shunting loco to release the class 66 as my loop is only long enough to run round 7. I noticed there was a little white discharge control wheel missing from wagon 55564 from the first batch and looked everywhere for it without success. Viewing again my photo which I posted on the day that the first batch arrived, I see it was already missing when that wagon had its first run. Will it will be possible to obtain spares of small parts such as this? Edited April 3 by cessna152towser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
