The painted pre production samples displayed at Glasgow looked amazing and as the delivery date draws closer, i wont lie I'm a tad excitable!

Anyone aware of any updates on these? The project page on the RevolutioN website dates delivery as Q2 2022, which is any time about now!

Anyone any idea when these may be due, keen on the SPT orange when they arrive, anything ive managed to find a date on ranges from June 21 forward and they dont appear on the Dapol pre order page.

Almost a year after the last live event, can we expect another or has this medium lost its impact/direability?

For those (like myself) who were eagerly awaiting the second batch to go available on the shop, a quick check this morning and i noticed the LaFarge livery was up at 90+ stock, order placed before the undoubted rush!

Personally id love to see an N gauge RTR model of the MRA's. Or 380/385's in that lovely Scotrail Saltire livery

From memory, very few of the show special editions have ever sold out over the weekend (Although I may be wrong) so I would be shocked if the remnants of the stock don't appear on the show webpage in due course after the weekend. Personally I'm excited that my 2 Saltire variants are due into the UK in the coming week or so as per the update last night.

For those interested and who may not be able to make it to Glasgow, we will make sure there are plenty of pictures and might even manage another photo montage and some videos onto the club YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZire37pb26W8qIrMSLJ8w . This has some pre show test run videos and and small montage of our Hallside layout from the last Glasgow show.

Love the consist diagrams, what did you use to produce them?

Have a look at Hallside in the layout topics. Its 00, however with the stock your talking about something like that would be brilliant in N.

Does the hive mind have any information on the GF JPA cement wagons (la farge livery)and an anticipated delivery date? I see on the webpage it states awaiting, however its said that close on a year, just wondering if i've got that long to wait again until i see the pre-orders i've made.

Given the MK5 coaches are coming in the TPE livery, how big a jump would it be to see the other two TPE liveried Nova multiple units?

I'd wholeheartedly agree with this from @classy52 I've been buying from Leigh for about 3 years or so. Everything is well packaged, tested and the payment plan scheme is a god send when budgeting. The level of service i've received has been brilliant and i genuinely couldnt big up Leigh and his customer services enough.

Personally id love to see (In N gauge); MRA hoppers The component parts of the HOAB train 380/385 EMU's (Unlikely as Scottish only) The Accurascale 37's in N TPE Nova 1 and 2 to go along side the TPE MKv's

Ultimately if i have to try and make a match i will and do as you suggest and add weathering to both ends to even things out and blend in, just trying to see if there is a match to start off with. Regards, Iain

Hi All, I've managed to misplace a fairing for my GF 220 in Cross country livery. Farish no longer supply the spares but i've found an eBay seller who has produced 3d print replacements, however i need to know the colour match for the purplish colouring of the fairing, does anyone have any info they can share? Regards, Iain

Thanks John, I'll need to get into the office later this week to collect some things so can pick up the multimeter then to test it. Many thanks, Iain

Hi Folks, Firstly, thanks for the suggestions. I have made sure the blanking chip is in the right way round, still i get lights but zero movement. I have taken the bogies apart and all the wheels move freely without any catching or siezing. Any other suggestions or am i sending it to a pro once this lockdown over and done, whenever that may be. Regards, Iain

Thanks Kris, I'm planning on stripping the boggies down and cleaning them, the contacts and the gearing over the ext few nights so i should be able to check that at the time. Thanks for your response.

Hi John, Its the DCC reasy version with the 6 pin slot. It was a gift from a friend in exchange for some work i did for him on his webpage. I've made sure there is a blank chip in place. Regards, Iain

Hi All, I'm a relative novice to the hobby, however i'm keen to teach myself the key skills required to continue without reliance on the many specialists out their. To that end, i have a Graham Farish class 66 that i recently acquired that will not budge at all. The lights come on but there is no-one at home. I've found how to strip the loco down and clean the contacts, worms etc, just wondering if there is anything else i should be looking at. Anyone had a similar experience? Thanks, Iain

Thanks Legend, unfortunately for us both Pendolinos decided they didn't want to play, especially with the very small and gentle inclines and despite having weight added over the drive bogies, hopefully that'll be resolved for the next outing though.

Hi all, As Lambie the elder posted yesterday, attached are some more pic from today's running. We had a very busy and successful day with lots of very kind comments and lots of questions about all things Hallside. As a club we are slowly working on our digital presence and will update the details of the webpage, youtube channel and flickr accounts as and when tehy are updated with actual content, in the interim, please feel free to ask questions here and we will answer in as much detail as we can as quickly as we can. Once again many thanks for all the kind and supportive comments. More will follow over the coming days

Hi Richy59, I'm pretty sure its a pre-made n gauge product, i cant remember the brand but i'll find out the details and post a URL to the item for you
