Revolution offers WIA car carriers in 00 and N Revolution Trains is offering the imposing WIA 5-piece articulated car carriers (UIC code: Sefoorss) as its next wagon model in both OO and N. CAD work is complete and once sufficient orders are reached tooling will begin. 60 five-piece sets were ordered by Railfreight Distribution from Arbel-Fauvet of France ahead of the opening of the Channel Tunnel in 1994. The full covering not only offered protection from stones and theft, but also saved time and money because new vehicles did not require wax protection. Although impossible to see from the outside, the units are double-decked and the pale blue covers are raised in unison on self-contained jacks to allow easy loading and unloading. The characteristic angled roof profile is designed to maximise use of the British loading gauge. The WIAs were initially under-utilised, however they operated on various flows to Belgium, Italy and France, and also on domestic traffic between manufacturing plants and domestic terminals or docks for export. Current flows include Minis from Cowley and Jaguars from Castle Bromwich to Southampton Docks. The Revolution model features articulation units designed to enable the wagons to negotiate Radius 2 curves and the customer-fit detailing pack includes a representation of the outer control box if the tension-lock coupler is removed. Revolution’s Ben Ando says: “Transporting motor vehicles has long been an important traffic for the railway, and since we’ve already produced the Cartic-4s and IPAs in both OO and N, it makes sense for us to ‘complete the set’ car carriers.” Revolution’s Mike Hale said: “We’d like to thank DB Cargo for their assistance with this model, and it should be noted that these wagons allow modellers to depict fully-loaded car trains without the need to buy any model cars!”

That's not looking like the way it will play out Les. I've just reviewed the Stanier BG, the passenger carrying stock looks as though it will follow soon and the Duchess after that.

Yes. Obtaining licences to reproduce branding, where necessary, is an integral part of planning products.

Yup; the same as if you fancy a ride in vintage stock - head for the Bluebell, Isle of Wight or Foxfield; no point moaning that you can't experience that on the mainline.

Hopefully this link works (but still needs sorting as you say) https://www.google.co.uk/travel/entity/key/ChkI6rm27Li32cJTGg0vZy8xMXN2Zno0andrEAQ/reviews?ei=UKQVZZemCqSI8LAP2o-W-Ao&sa=X&ts=CAEaBAoCGgAqBAoAGgA

Just join in with the existing topics then rather than telling us we're not doing enough. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/forum/369-25mm-scale-tt120/

Sometimes the parent may be less well informed or placed to see where risks and dangers may be. As an example there have been several instances of children killed on bouncy castles after the wind has caused incident or even the inflatable exploding. Should the parent be responsible for making a judgement on the weather or the safety of the operator? Where does a libertarian stand on such incidents? Conversely there'd be an outcry from some parents if headlines said that bouncy castles are to be banned. I don't know how well bouncy castles are regulated (probably not at all) but would a parent consider any of these possibilities? Unlikely, they just want their kids to have fun but ideally they'd like them to come off the castle in one piece if asked.

That's the second time that you've stated that people should be discussing it more. Around here they have a habit of discussing what they want, when they want. To me, it looks like all you want to do is publicise your material here - rather than engage in dialogue (which there is plenty of in TT:120 topics).

Daily. But not the advertising folk as such; more the implementation of it which falls under the IT department and the impact on user experience. At least you have someone defending against it; try and find one of those on a newspaper website.

OK, so how should websites pay the bills?

In each instance who would get sued if things went wrong? It sounds like you'd be happy to get a discount from someone who cuts corners. Your car service? Your dentist or optician?

On that basis we are saying there is a single culprit to the crime?

To make it more exclusive.

I have tested from this end using your login, permissions and settings etc and everything appears as it should so it's definitely something local to your end rather than the server. Could you try using a different, previously unused, browser to test and prove that please?

Not necessarily so as some producers with more retail stockists have to produce more to satisfy supply over more stockists. Similar size production run but with fewer SKUs. Also some newer entrants (not those quoted) see tooling amortised against each unit produced against a minimum quantity production run, i.e. the factory is calling the tune.

It could be if there are corrupted cookies at your end; did you read my previous post? It may not be but it could be so please check that.

Many images were lost in a server drive failure two years ago.

Have you cleared RMweb cookies and browsing history on the affected device?

No need to. In Google maps you can re-order your intermediate points by sliding them up and down the list to see which gives the shortest mileage or fastest time.

I've been on a diet I'll have you know. 😛

Do you like dags trains?

Having a whale of a time? Don't listen to these urchins and minnows; they're talking pollocks. You can try and winkle it out of me but my lips are seal and I won't tell a sole. It'll all fall into plaice tomorrow.

I've been rumbled... "Review: Heljan Class 47 Model Locomotive So, Heljan has graced us with yet another rendition of the venerable Class 47, huh? As a seasoned modeller with a penchant for scrutinizing every detail, let's see if this latest offering lives up to the hype or if it's just another run-of-the-mill disappointment. Appearance and Detailing: Alright, let's give credit where it's due. The detailing on this Class 47 is decent, I'll admit. The grilles look alright, and the cab interior is passable. But let's not kid ourselves; it's nothing groundbreaking. I've seen better detailing on other models, and for the price point, I expect more than just "alright." Performance: Ah, the performance test. Surprisingly, this is where the Heljan Class 47 manages to redeem itself somewhat. The motor runs smoothly, and it doesn't stutter or jerk like some cheaper models tend to. It's not exactly groundbreaking, but at least it doesn't sound like a dying cat when it's running. So, kudos to Heljan for getting this part right. Features: Now, here's where things get interesting. Or rather, disappointing. Sure, it's got the basic features like working lights and all that jazz. But where are the innovative additions? Where's the attempt to push the envelope and offer something new to the modeller community? It feels like Heljan played it safe and stuck to the tried-and-tested formula without daring to be different. Value for Money: Let's talk turkey. Is this Class 47 worth the hefty price tag? Frankly, I'm not convinced. Sure, it's a decent model, but for the amount they're asking, I expect excellence, not just mediocrity. When you factor in the lack of groundbreaking features and the somewhat underwhelming detailing, it's hard to justify the cost. Overall Impression: So, what's the final verdict? The Heljan Class 47 is a decent addition to your collection if you're content with mediocrity. It ticks all the boxes without ever truly excelling in any area. If you're a jaded cynic like me, you'll find plenty to nitpick about. But if you're just looking for a run-of-the-mill locomotive to add to your layout, then sure, go ahead and pick one up. Just don't expect it to blow your socks off."
