What are the packets of red bits please? Do they cover the windows?

On the web page choose <Shop>; then choose <Accounts>; then <Orders>; then choose the order number you wish to pay the balance on. This brings up Order Detils. To the left on this screen choose <Payment Methods>. This will bring up a card payment screen into which you can put your debit card details.

And then begins the wait for your Caroline to be despatched. But they're understandably busy just now.

Hope this helps. Took me a while.

Thanks Andy,

Been through that process but I have no new invoice to pay; if that is what you received?  Only the original from 2020. Hopefully Mike will reply to my email and we can take this off the forum.

Hi Chris

 

As per the info on our website - please login to your account on our website where you should see your balance invoice. 
 

Best wishes

 

Mike

Thanks Mike,

Sorry, I'm obviously being really stupid here as everyone else seems to have mastered this; I have an invoice on my account dated 27 May 2020 when I placed my order. It mentions what the future amount will be but how do I actually pay it? Am I supposed to ring up? Is it that simple? I don't see a link to click and I never received an email so is it that I ring you up and pay the balance?

Kind regards

Chris

Did it go to your Spam folder?  I received my e-mail to pay the outstanding balance on 25 July 2023.  It was sent from orders@revolutiontrains.com.

Thanks David. Nothing in Spam unfortunately.

I notice that everyone is getting their model of 'Caroline' but as of yet I have had no email to advise me to pay my balance. The website update says all emails have been sent out so am just trying to fill in the gaps. I have emailed Revolution but I suspect they are busy.

Many thanks.

Two liveries? Shurely shome mistake. 

 

The one I can see is very recogniseable https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/polybulk/e35cf9a62 historic livery from 40 years ago.

Wether the ETH is in the bag or fitted to the loco is not a deal breaker for me but having said that I do have a 47435 on order from TMC with value weathering so I would hope there fitted or I will end up with bright orange plugs on a grimy loco. 

 

Hi GD, you have to specify to have the detail parts fitted with TMC otherwise they won't do it.

So from a BR Blue perspective, 2 new skinhead 24s, one of which will be 24087, are in the pipeline, and an additional Class 25.

25296 will be available later to pre-order

Just ordered 25 324 with sound and supercap. Excellent service by phone, and painless so far, (no money taken from card yet, only when model is dispatched). Now what to do with my Bachmann type 2s? 

Me too. Ordered 25324 and 25260. Might have to stretch my era a bit to accommodate 25260 but it'll be nice to have one in green with TOPS.

One of the options available is 25260 in Green with FYE. I have searched Flickr and Google but can't seem to find any photos of said loco in this condition. Does any one please know what timescales we are looking at for 25260 in this livery. Many thanks.

With announcements like this i’m glad I’m still stuck in the past (DC).

spent all day on the phone today, but all work.. 

so tomorrow i’m in for 2 Blue, maybe a third, 25912 and maybe a green one...

 

not sure about Ethel, I may go with a token Heljan for this, as i’ll never see the front, and I may strip it out and let it be pulled... that said the loco to pull it, will be one of my oldest ever renumbers.. a model of 5407 in LMS black, dating back to the mid80’s, same time as Ethel was ethelling... its no oil painting in todays standards, and the rat might need to give the old ringfield a push!

Forgive me if I have misunderstood your post but if you are thinking of buying a Heljan ETHEL to provide a push you will be disappointed. The Heljan offering does not have a motor. The SLW version, does.

Did you have to ring Phil to order as I can't seem to find them online currently?

The new website goes live on 01 March. If you want to order one now, you need to ring

Excellent news. I wonder if we can please have a separate tab in the Products and Trade area now for SLW?

Please could you share the list of numbers? Many thanks.

A good choice from Bachmann. Sorry if I have missed the details but do we know if the sound fitted version will have a V5 chip?

Bachmann set of 6 16t Mineral Wagons.

Second hand from Rails of Sheffield -  £119.50 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-TMC-OO-GAUGE-37-265Z-SET-OF-6-WEATHERED-16T-MINERAL-WAGONS/193864226939?hash=item2d2335587b:g:YDkAAOSwjxdgDu~g

Or brand new from TMC (who commissioned them) for £114.50!!! - https://www.themodelcentre.com/37-265z-Bachmann-six-pack-16-ton-mineral-wagons-br-grey-tmc-limited-edition-factory-weathered 

TMC have 10+ sets in stock so it's not as if they're sought after.

Thanks, it is a regular "go to" for projects, and will look again for this. Just wanted to be sure the model was otherwise identical to the 5099 version?

Ah, sorry. It is identical, yes. For a 'Tyne Dock' loco it would need the underbody tanks modified slightly. Also of note, the unnumbered version does not have a TOPS data panel either.

Just had a look on the SLW website, nice move doing an un-numbered variant. This one comes with the high level brake pipe kit too, so it can represent the relevant ex Tyneside locos. I take it that it is identical otherwise to the 5099 version (which has now sold out), ie plated front doors with central headcode discs? I need to do some more research on possible identities.

So which category does 47 711 fall into? I don't know when it was announced but it feels like over a year. It does make me wonder how old the tooling and design of the mechanism is for that model? I watched a review of 47 537 and a comment was made about the mechanism not having changed for over a decade and no improvements to the detailing in that time.

 

I appreciate that the manufacturers have to use 'best information' pictures in their adverts for Pre-release products but at what point would you have the detailed information and accurate pictures on the product that you will eventually receive?   

I know it's only minor but the photos shown so far of 47711 have it with a cab mounted aerial and square headlight. Looking at Flickr, it didn't get an aerial until at least 1988 by which time it was in Scotrail livery. It didn't get a square headlight until I believe 1985, by which time it was, again, in Scotrail livery. I appreciate the photos shown could be just mock ups based on a previous model so will see when it is released.

Found this on Flickr; dated from the 1950s which says it is Dawlish. Photo by Stephen Horsfall

Think they have had them longer than that , got both mine during the first lockdown

Ok, fine. You know better than me. Was just trying to let people know that the 'new' version was available as it was formally announced today.  Wasn' t trying to start a debate on who knew when or who had 'two' first!. Regards.

I bought 2 of these last year so he's had them quite a while 

Yes, they have had them since late last year at least. I got one in December but they only formally announced them today
