Hello folks I've just been pulling together some sample consist diagrams for both versions of IWA - the holdall vans and timber carriers - which you can find on our website here: https://www.revolutiontrains.com/iwa-sfins-2-holdall-vans-and-rfnoos-timber-carriers/ Hopefully useful to some people! I still need to finish the route map which will come next. Cheers Mike

Revolution Trains Facebook live number 6
Revolution Mike replied to Lukas G.'s topic in Revolution Trains
Love the application of logic from @Suffolk Rob! The other two TPE Nova classes are quite different from the Mk5s - the 397s are CAF built but the other Nova sets are Hitachi 802s (Nova 1s). Kato will have the majority of the tooling for the 802s from early next year so would be the best bet to ask if they will do the 802s. Cheers Mike -

Revolution Mike replied to Lukas G.'s topic in Revolution Trains
Not too far off the mark Nick! I’m always interested in what models people want - some things are obvious, some things are great ideas that we might never have thought of! -

Revolution Mike replied to Lukas G.'s topic in Revolution Trains
Are we wishlisting or predicting!?! Some interesting thoughts either way -
No need to change anything for DC - all modern models are DCC ready and don't require anything removing or changing for DC. DCC ready = (normally) a decoder socket. Cheers Mike

Revolution Trains proposes Class 92 in N
Revolution Mike replied to Revolution Ben's topic in Revolution Trains
Sorry but that was never part of the reason we started Revolution! Nevertheless we had hoped the 92s would have been here a while ago. -
You only need 2 people to want them on eBay!

We’ve no imminent plans to rerun them - when we asked about re-running the N gauge version there wasn’t enough interest and we sold fewer OO tanks IIRC. I’m sure that we will re-run them at some point though. cheers Mike
-
We don’t have any imminent plans for a 73/9. Might be worth asking Dapol to reconsider producing a 73/9 in N given they have a chassis for it! cheers Mike

Accurascale announces at KUA in OO gauge
Revolution Mike replied to adb968008's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
DRS were planning (when we surveyed the KUAs) that all 4 Mk2s would be used as required for escort duties. -
Cavalex Models All new RTR HAA and variants in 4mm scale
Revolution Mike replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
Slight correction - Haig was in Whitehaven not Workington. Coal came down a conveyor to be loaded at the harbour side in Whitehaven. HAAs were also later used to take coal from Maryport south. Cheers Mike -
Indeed and that has worked to the benefit of all both ways (ie the opposite has also been true)! Competition law restricts some very obvious things like price fixing, bid rigging, dominant player abuse as well as doing away with retail price maintenance. I'm guessing that the issue that most people are referring to here is potential market sharing which is illegal and mainly focuses on geographical market sharing or dividing up which customers will be supplied. However there are exemptions for co-operation where the benefits to customers outweigh any reduction in competition, for example cheaper and faster development of products. Co-operation comes in many forms as well ie one business may purchase or commission services/goods from another to the benefit of both parties. As Guy says individual companies still have to make their own decisions about what is in their best interests and providing they are not colluding to restrict price or supply then there is no issue. Cheers Mike

Apologies for sidetracking our thread on the IWAs(!), I'm hoping that Farish are working on FFA/FGAs based on their OO model. Between C Rail and Revolution we're gradually working through the various replacements for the FFA/FGAs with KFAs and KQA/KTAs delivered and FSA/FTAs and Ecofrets on the way. Cheers Mike

RevolutioN announce KUA nuclear flask wagon in N gauge!!!
Revolution Mike replied to JR_P's topic in Revolution Trains
If you paid in full then it means your order has gone to the PO (or will be the next working day), if you paid a deposit and balance then your order is only despatched once both parts are marked as complete. Cheers Mike -
RevolutioN announce KUA nuclear flask wagon in N gauge!!!
Revolution Mike replied to JR_P's topic in Revolution Trains
The KUAs replaced IQAs and their predecessors (which were all carried on ferries) and as a result have been designed for ferry use but they’ve never been on a ferry. There are still IQAs running on the continent (well not IQAs but the UIC equivalent!) but the UK’s pair of IQAs never saw much use and are now rotting. Cheers Mike -
It was answered earlier in this thread and reposted on page 7. cheers Mike

Yes, Crepello is correct - the wheels are chemically blackened. cheers Mike

RevolutioN Trains Announce Ecofrets in OO Gauge
Revolution Mike replied to sc2016's topic in Revolution Trains
We haven’t set an order book deadline for the Ecofrets but we’ve just had the painted samples not that long ago so I’d expect 4-6 weeks possibly slightly longer - as normal it will be on our website once decided. cheers Mike -
RevolutioN Trains Announce PFA in N Gauge
Revolution Mike replied to sc2016's topic in Revolution Trains
Yes, you will be charged P&P on each order but as per our FAQs we will refund any difference if we are able to combine orders once we send them out. Cheers Mike -
Revolution Class 320 & 321 EMUs in N
Revolution Mike replied to Revolution Ben's topic in Revolution Trains
We have always offered an undecorated version as well as a plain white version - the plain white version has been cancelled but as I mentioned given the way the 321 is constructed the factory has agreed to paint some parts where it makes sense to do so.
