RMweb Gold TomE Posted September 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2021 Had a close look at the 128 EP at TINGS. Looking very nice indeed, with some excellent under frame details. There are some more pics here Tom. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47475 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) I just finally ordered a red one without gangway ends. I don't know why I kidded myself for months that I could resist one of these eventually! Edited October 9, 2021 by 47475 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Having seen the EPs at TINGS last year I was wondering if anyone on the RevolutioN Team could advise when they hope to receive decorated samples of the 128s, it's gone a bit quiet of late but I know that doesn't necessarily mean things aren't happening. Thanks in anticipation. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite a while since the EPs broke cover (6 months or so) and there hadn't been an update regarding the deco samples, just that they would be next. The liveries have been decided on and we have seen details and indeed based our choices on those so it seemed reasonable to ask the question.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted March 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2022 It also seems reasonable, as said repeatedly, that when they have them they will post pictures, rather than keeping them secret 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project page of the website has been the same for a while, looking a bit deeper the December Newsletter I see actually said hopefully they would be received February. Now all things are fluid at the moment, that is understood but especially as the anticipated date has passed surely there will have been some be some indication from the factory as to whether they are they are close are weeks/months behind? Sorry to have the temerity to show an interest ask a question. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted June 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 11, 2022 They do look rather gorgeous and bring back memories of the old Craftsman kit conversion of a Lima 117 car I did so many years ago. I would have to severely bend Rule 1 to justify one in the Highlands of Scotland though... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarrely, they made it to Inverness at the ends of their lives for component recovery I believe.. the shot linked below of 55992 and 55995 in 1991. cheers Ben A.

Hamm 69 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) They certainly didn't run in fife but that didn't stop me going for the early bird option on 55990. If you like it run it. go on John you know you want one. Edited June 11, 2022 by Hamm 69 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy L S Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Wow! The decoration looks stunning! WR one ordered and paid for already, now should I order the green London Midland one before order books close.... Decisions.... Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted June 13, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 13, 2022 @Revolution Ben I'm I right in thinking none of the model shops have commissioned any limited edition versions of these? Specifically 55993 or 55994 in two-tone blue with red stripe. Steven B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2022 The order deadline for pre-ordering from us was technically last night however I’m going to be out all day packing EALNOS orders so you can still order until I get home tonight! https://www.revolutiontrains.com/product/class-128-parcels-unit/ In addition some of you might have started to see that the two tone blue Express Parcels unit is going to be available exclusively from our retailers (not from us) - if you’re interested I’m sure retailers would welcome your early interest in this retail exclusive model so that they can order the correct quantity! I'll try to post some pictures of the livery sample later. cheers Mike 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted September 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2022 Here’s a couple of pictures of the Express Parcels unit 55994: https://www.revolutiontrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/55994-1-scaled.jpg https://www.revolutiontrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/55994-2-scaled.jpg cheers Mike 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted September 13, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'd missed the two-tone blue class 128 announcement! Great news, and even better you've chosen 55994 rather than 55993 which you're already doing in RM Red! Steven B. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
59004 ( was Shedcombe....) Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Mike, I've ordered 55992 & 55993 in RM with RT and now also 55994 in EP with Rainbow Railways. Checking the preproduction sample against the prototype 55994 at the Railcar.co.uk website reveals a rather different shade of front windows mask. Grey versus black. 55994 @ railcar.co.uk Will this be corrected on the production batch?

Benn Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Saw the livery sample 128s at TINGS, looking good! I had assurance that some of the minor assembly / livery application issues visible, especially with regards to the headcode displays, will be tidied up for the production models too, which was welcome news. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and I see that the RevolutioN website is still showing the above delivery date estimate. Hopefully this means that production is close to concluding and they'll soon be on the boat.
