RMweb Gold TomE Posted September 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2018 Tom vs. Will weathering challenge? One day I might get around to making my modern-ish Cornish layout where they can have a spin.... I'm not sure I've got the heart to weather them! I have been Googling wagon works however. There is some interesting potential for a small layout with a lot of the projects RevolutioN are coming out with! Tom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted September 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2018 Didn't you once have a WCML layout in the offing? Seem to remember some rather nice countryside scenes with Virgin electrics on the old RMWeb and thought it was your handiwork? Cheers, Paul I did some time ago, but unfortunately it had to be scrapped. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portpatrick Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 They look stunning. Could not get to TINGS so I must wait while Revolution work through their order book. However money to fund the balance is ready for the call. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish trains jez Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi, When will the balance payment invoices be sent out? Best regards, Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted September 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hello Jeremy, Mike is working his way through them. This weekend we will have a packing and postage session, though of course those who paid in full will probably get theirs first since there isn't any more paperwork to do other than print their address label.

Will J Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm not sure I've got the heart to weather them! Ah, courage man! Looking at CargoWaggons on t'interweb there seems to be little scope for 'subtle' weathering, they need to look like they have suffered some terrible trauma.... Awaiting the RevolutioN package, I'm warming up on some unsuspecting Dapol bogie versions. These are just the initial layers. (this lot may have got a bit lost...) 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted September 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, order complete emails from RevolutioN yesterday, including partial p+p refund because I'd forgotten the Perrier initially... Postie delivered today: Delighted, yet again - thanks as usual. Regards, Gerry 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hi Mike and Ben, My vans arrived this morning and all I can say is that they are stunning, right down to the packaging aswell! Got to wait a few weeks till I can set Dallam up and give them a run. Cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
87023Velocity Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Could not wait a few weeks so set a single board up. 37710 on an Enterprise service. Really are superb models, cannot wait for the KFA and 92. Cheers Simon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Not been 24 hours and one of the IZA's has been graffitied! Half way through a weathering job, all that effort making a pristine model and i can undo it all in 20 mins! Ben / Mike, You've done it again, a superb wagon, Very much look forward to anything RevolutioN produce. Graham. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portpatrick Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mine arrived while I was away - but picked them up from a neighbour. Then found when trying to couple them together the NEM pocket and link virtually disappeared inside. Thankfully the body unclips easily. Found a plate which holds the NEM assembly in place had become detached. Quick work with solvent to refix it and the wagons are now functional and superb.

Found a plate which holds the NEM assembly in place had become detached. Quick work with solvent to refix it and the wagons are now functional and superb. Hi there, We have found there do seem to be a small number where the gluing isn't quite as strong as we'd like on those plates. Apologies for this. There is a note on the Revolution News pages highlighting the issue and the suggested remedy if anyone else has these wagons coming. Cheers Ben A.

westie7 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mine have just been delivered.. What a work of art! A little fumbling of sausage fingers with the batteries, but that's very clever. A very European manufacturers feel to the packaging, way above the rest. Looking forward to the rest of my orders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted October 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2018 One thing that suprised me was the inter-wagon coupler was a screw link. I'd always assumed it was a fixed bar like on the FFA/FGA freightliners. You learn something new every day.... Has anyone found a hook and bar type coupling that fits NEM pockets - a bit like Dapol fit to their class 156 DMU? I'd like to be able to split mine between running sessions but want something a little less visible than standard Rapidos or the Dapol dummy knuckles. Steven B.

It is a male/female sliding device https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/twinvan/e2f9e84a1 I'll admit I don't understand how it works! Paul Edit, OK wrong, this is a buffer.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted October 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi all, The best photo I found quickly showing the inter car coupler is this one on Ernie Puddick's flickr site: https://flic.kr/p/gBhpJz There are single buffers either side of a screw coupler, which are represented, while not depicted on the model are chains that (I think) are a failsafe and actuate the brakes in the event of the wagon splitting.

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted October 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2018 I got to unpack my eagerly anticipated IZAs today! These are my first Revolution Trains wagons and I am very impressed. The wagons really are superb and I think the packaging is great too. A fantastic job by all concerned. Thank you.

bluedepot Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 well done revolution team they are excellent models i would only say that the bodies are a bit lose though and don't have a v positive click into place but that doesn't really matter once they are upright and sitting on a layout looking forward to pfa and other wagons up next Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
