  1. Because there is big group of folk who for them its the wrong scale...... were waiting for the OO gauge version to be announced. 😉 The gents at Revolution have got to cave in and agree to do it soon surely.... we need a Revolution OO gauge 59 to stick on the front of their OO gauge JNA wagons.
  2. I keep looking at these pics.... and the one of 59101 above and thinking 'N gauge... really..... is that really N gauge' it looks perfect, it looks like its OO gauge...... im another one who thinks this really needs to be upscaled to OO gauge, i think i may have mentioned it before once or twice...... competition is a good thing...... its not like were asking you to make a OO gauge class 31 is it, lol.
  3. 69009 has entered Eastleigh's paint shop, what livery it will emerge in is any ones guess.
  4. Are all the liveries coming as a twin pack as shown here or just this 'EWS Construction' version? Not that it really matters, im after the Mendip versions so will be buying anyway, i was just curious, i assumed they were all individual as per the JNA box wagons?
  5. The lights have been an issue with mods having had to be done to make them prototypical. (see the Dapol oo gauge thread) The NRN radio pods are in the wrong place. The exhaust sits far to high. And finally, the one that bugs me the most..... the shape of the chassis under the cab is completely the wrong shape. All except the chassis error can be sorted, but given that we have locos of the quality as the Cavelex 56, Accurascale 37 and 55 why should we have to? I don't think Dapols 59 meets the standards expected these days.
  6. Fair comment, but it has to be said if Dapol went over that "line in the sand" and then slowed/stopped development allowing Revolution to jump in their and overtake them than thats Dapols fault... if they had got on with it, designed it, tooled it and got it into production and onto shop shelves would Revolution have even bothered doing a 59???
  7. A couple more MXA Lobster wagons with new running numbers would be nice.
  8. I dont model N gauge but had a look at this thread as i like 59s, this model just seems to be a down scaled version of the 00 gauge model..... and i can see all the faults on the N gauge version that i can on the 00 version. Im at a bit of a loss as to why Dapol have gone up against Revolution with the class 59 with it being a small class, the Revolution class 59 just looks so much better. Ive still not purchased a 00 gauge Dapol 59 despite being a big fan of the real things, i still cling on to this hope (despite being told it wont happen) that Revolution will upscale their N gauge 59 to 00 gauge to make something far superior to the Dapol version..... as they have done in N gauge.
  9. Does anyone know if any of the trade sellers had any Cavalex 56s for sale?
  10. Indeed...... and we've not had a revised NSE one announced yet either..... 50016 or 50027 would be nice.... Just saying Fran 🙏
  11. Not sure if this deserves a topic in itself, i have 2 x Mk2s on order and a class 66, both due soon i believe, are these models going to arrive at the same time? Are they all in the same container?
  12. I'm a bit unsure about asking for this loco/livery but i would like a model of GBRfs 66711 in Aggregate Industries livery, i had a very short cab ride on it down at Isle of Grain a few years back so would like a model of it. I know Bachmann have done a model of it and it sat around on shelves for quite a while but ive never determined if that was because Bachmann over produced it or if it was genuinely unpopular, either way i cant quite bring myself to buy the Bachmann model because as stated above in various posts, it looks so dated. An Accurascale version would certainly get my wallet open. Ive also had a ride onboard... 66502 whilst in G&W Orange 66537 whilst in FL Green 66538 whilst in FL Green 66580 whilst in FL Green 66589 whilst in FL Green .......... so any of those would be nice. (but please, not all at once, even my wallet has a limit, lol)
  13. Happy new year Ian, layout is looking great.
  14. Maybe they have literally just landed and Hornbys staff aren't back from crimbo yet to update their website about pre orders..... looking at the pic the carpet the box is on looks like an office/shop type carpet, certainly not the type of carpet you have at home, and its lent up against a standard cardboard box. I reckon someone has had a delivery during the xmas/new year break got it straight out the card board box and started taking pics and posting on Ebay?
