Are there any?…. the only thing that I can see that is different is the ‘BI’ depot label - 204 has is directly above the right-most marker light on both ends, whereas 206 seems either to not have it, or when it is present, is immediately adjacent to the running number…. Other than that, I cannot see any difference…. from what I’ve seen the livery application on the Southern 313 fleet is pretty consistent; certainly compared to other liveries the 313 has appeared in!

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2022 The crescent of the dark green window surrounds behind the side cab access door is in different places (There are at least three different versions/combinations) whereas most have the crescent almost up to the cab door, 204 at one end only has it barely past the last saloon side window, a difference of at least a foot or two. 313206: 313204: Another difference is 202 which has white gutters over the passenger doors on one driving car, all others are green. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JR_P Posted January 22, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2022 Yep, you are absolutely right - and only any one end as well - what were the chances!…. makes for some interesting variation I suppose….. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmthtrains - David Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 As the early bird deadline is approaching for these, I’m hoping the retailer exclusives get announced soon. I would order the NR version but if it’s not being picked up I don’t want to miss out on an early bird discount on one of the others… David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 25, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2022 Considering the 12 inch to the foot scale NR 313121's reliability recently, you will need another 313 anyway to represent it being constantly towed around...

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted March 10, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi David No news to report other than what we've reported already ie which versions we think will be retail exclusives. We don't normally confirm retail exclusives before the early bird deadline , though this time we've had a longer early bird period than normal and tried to give people an idea of what sets might be coming as retail exclusives.

Stu from EGDL Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi Gang, Well, that an order gone in for a couple of units. Will I succumb to the temptation of more before the Sunday pricing deadline. .? Stay Tuned…..!!! Later, Stu from EGVN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted March 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2022 Apologies if this is something I’ve missed - are they powered on the centre car with the driving cabs as trailers, or is the motor in one end?

RMweb Gold TomE Posted March 12, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2022 There are a few photos of the 313/4 EP sample taken at Model Rail Scotland here It's looking excellent, captures the look of the PEP units spot on to my eye and the underframe detail is impressive.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2022 When are we likely to get notified for the balance of payment to be handed over please? First time I have done a partial payment preorder for anything and not really sure when I need to front up the rest of the readdies.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2023 RevolutioN just posted a short video on their Facebook page of a decorated sample (original blue/grey livery) moving under its own power!

RT have replied to the comment saying that they are looking at it and it is on their snagging list. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TomE Posted February 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2023 Interesting that the final shoe doesn’t appear to do it, but a problem solved by just removing those hideous & unsightly pips from the ends of the tiebar!

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted February 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Just to shed a bit of light on the 313 deco sample video. Due to the Covid situation that was making things difficult in China, this is the first time we’ve been able to run a powered model. There are two working samples, Ben has one and I have the other, which I am thoroughly putting through its paces on my layout. As with any pre production sample, there will always be a few things that need correcting and we are currently working our way through them, which incidentally - credit to the factory who have produced these, are minimal.

RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted February 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2023 Looks totally wonderful and I cannot wait for my Orangey one to arrive. Speaking purely personally, I would prefer the B/G version to not have the door-opening strips, as these were removed very early on. I cannot remember seeing any on the 313s when I started spotting in Stevenage, aged 8-ish. We didn't see many 313s at the time; Hertford North to Langley Junction was still DMU-operated but there were some evening 313 parcels services when the mailbags were loaded into the wide doorways. My brother was also a spotter and had a car so we used to visit Welwyn garden City to cop 313s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that I fully agree with that and would have said they carried the stripes for about half of their blue/grey life. Certainly still had them in the early 1980s IIRC.
