If you are a member of the NGS you could probably pick one up now (in BR engineers olive) for under £20.

 

 

Unfortunately I am not.

I noticed the following item in the catalogue, but it is not shown online yet:

377-878 BR 25T Queen Mary Brake Van in Departmental Olive Green

I'll certainly be picking that one up if/when it is released.

I haven't received my KFA's either, it's good to know I'm not alone .

I ordered 3 x triple packs, but only recieved 1 x triple pack back in December.

I've sent a couple of emails, as well as a PM to Mike, so hopefully it will be resolved at some point.

I've ran the 3 that I received with a couple of C-Rail 40ft containers and they look great. I'm hoping C-Rail produce some 1980s 20ft containers to add to these.

Hi Arran. What are the chances of some N gauge 1980s 20ft containers such as OCL, CAST and Freightliner? It would be great to have some in N. Thanks.

Ian

Congratulations indeed. I have some of the UM Class B tankers, IZA twins, Sturgeons (hopefully waiting for me at my UK address), VEAs and hopefully soon 9 KFAs*. The standard set by RevolutioN is very high and I am pleased with everything I have from them to date. The Class B tankers in particular are a work of art.

I will definitely be buying many more RevolutioN products, particularly a number of the more recently announced wagons including Hydro hold-alls, PFAs, Class A tankers, Zanders and hopefully some additional livery Class Bs.

*Only recieved one of three KFA (PFA) triple packs I ordered. Please check your emails and PM, Ben/Mike. Cheers!

Repeating comments above a litte, but a big thank you Ben, Mike and anyone else who was involved in making the KFAs, they are an outstanding model. It was my first Revolution model and I am very much looking forward to more (especially the 92s and 321s).

 

 

All the best,

Dave

 

Fantastic layout. I love the camber in the last shot.

You've done a superb job weathering those KFAs and containers. The RFD locos really complete it too.

Thanks for posting the photos. They are looking very nice indeed. According to the latest release schedule on the Bachmann website, all except 97204 in revised RTC livery are showing as August 2020. 97204 is showing 'Awaiting'. I don't know whether that means awaiting delivery, or just another way of saying TBA.

What an excellent choice. I'll have to resist stretching to a full rake, but will certainly pick up a few and add Cawoods containers for photos with my Large Logo Blue Blyth beast 56126!

John, go to the home page, scroll down and you will see a link to them on the right. I was able to order them through that link.

It will be great to pick these up at Christmas when I'm back in the UK, if they are distributed in time.

I need to get some more research in on late 80s containers. I don't think there are many out there in N gauge for this period, are there?

They look excellent. I can't wait to get my hands on them. Hopefully they'll be delivered before my trip back to the UK in a couple of weeks.

I know this is quite a bump, but if you haven't seen it already, there is a 27 on ScotRail livery MK2s in this video:

I am very happy about the ferry vans in particular. Very much looking forward to the eventual N gauge versions. I will buy several.

This FK does not have the Motorail branding, but the Motorail FKs did later when painted into InterCity livery.

They look like fairly fresh repaints into the Civil Engineers 'Dutch' livery for the version without side doors, i.e. where only the small parts at the ends were painted yellow. It would be nice to see this variation done in the future. I seem to recall a few reference shots for this variation on Paul Bartlett's site.

What I meant was that the running number on the Farish model is correct for a gangwayed blue/grey version. I assume the above was their reference photo.

I also just found this one, which proved the Farish model is indeed correct!

Here is a gangwayed one in blue/grey, taken around 1969:

Thanks very much for the info, Simon. Sounds the most likely candidate. Much appreciated.

I am digging for a bit of knowledge here.

At 3:30 on this video, there is a RTC formation with a Trans-Pennine liveried Mk2a at the rear, with what appears to be a white departmental running number applied.

Does anyone have any ideas what number this one may be or whether there are any reference photos out there? I quite fancy having this customised out of one of the forthcoming Farish Regional Railways MK2s. Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

This thread is full of fantastic images and knowledge.

I have a question regarding BGs in the late 80s/early 90s in plain red livery, without the usual twin yellow stripes and logo of the Parcels livery at that time.

They appear in a few videos online and in each case always seem to have the shape of a window painted in black on the doors that do not have actual windows. In this video (at 27:30) you will see an example:

What are the designations of these? Running numbers and any other info on them would also be most appreciated.

HI 

 

Last 5 years I think.

 

Regards Arran

Thanks very much. Too late for my era, but I might just pick a couple up anyway.

Any plans for any 1980s/90s 20ft containers in N gauge, e.g. Freightliner orange/white, OCL blue or white, etc?

These look fantastic. What is the earliest the Hapag-Lloyd 40ft would be appropriate for? I fancy a couple of those.

Definitely needs some grime and dust. I've got this on order. It will be a nice vehicle to include in an early 70s mixed parcels rake behind a 24 or 25.
