Hey guys, a few minutes ago rails of Sheffield broke news that it is producing a class 89 in OO in co-operation with accurascale, accurascale and revolution often partner up (Class 92, Nuke wagons) and so we may be getting this in N gauge too - only speculating, but it seems logical

Just what is it with private companies and their branding? I'd consider any publicity to be advantageous.

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? “Hey, your brand and logo is going to be slapped onto a high-quality, low-price model and be in the living room/railway room of thousands of homes creating more recognition for your brand”

”This is... Unacceptable”

“Drax what are you doing?”

They have confirmed the 390 re-run, which is good. I’ll probably go for an Avanti 5-car set as I’m broke from spending all my money on their wagons.

100% agree, Any modern wagon with an interesting livery/story is one for me, in regards to biomass It’s really whatever Revolution/others are licensed to produce, lest Drax summon lawyers and smite.

Seeing the responses so far, I’m interested in the number of period models people are interested in... if Drax aren’t willing to replicate their hoppers maybe some luck will be found with the new GBRF/Nacco biomass hoppers for those hoping to depict a biomass flow in RTR, although due to the hefty size of these it may be limited in terms of curves - biomass is an interesting freight flow for me, and I will certainly look out for any future models of these. Personally, I would like to start my own RTR company using a similar method to revolution trains - however this is of course extremely unlikely but if anything happens I will be sure to let everyone know.

For obvious reasons, our plans to research and develop new models have been disrupted as we have been able to travel to conduct research trips, meet with TOCs and so on.

However, while our programme has been delayed slightly, we will have some exciting new projects in both N and 00 to announce very soon.

We had intended to announce these at the DEMU Showcase exhibition, which we attend every year, but as this is no longer possible they will be unveiled in our third Facebook Live, coming soon.

Make sure to keep an eye out for when the Facebook live drops - meanwhile we’ll only be able to speculate! I’m hoping for some more modern image wagons - I don’t know about you but I would absolutely go for some Drax biomass hoppers in N!

Hi everyone, my brother’s 350 also has all lights on in both driving cars in DCC, and I was wondering what is able to be done to remedy this. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am having some problems with my N gauge HOA. The coupler is too low to couple with the rest of my stock and is below average height for N gauge models. Does anyone have similar problems or ideas to remedy this?
